Detroit Wing Company is bringing backyard barbecue flavor to the table with a new limited-time lineup built for the best part of the season. Available through Sept. 20, the menu combines a returning fan favorite, Carolina Gold Sauce, with loaded fries, loaded mac n’ cheese and a crave-worthy Crispy Chicken Melt — perfect for everything from summer and Labor Day gatherings to watch parties.
Inspired by South Carolina barbecue and built on the brand’s signature Honey BBQ, the Carolina Gold balances rich mustard notes with sweetness and a hint of smokiness, making it a natural pairing for its award-winning wings, tenders and just about anything worth dunking.
Guests can also enjoy several new loaded favorites, including:
Garlic Parm Loaded Mac N’ Cheese: Spiral noodles with Detroit Wing Co.’s signature cheese sauce loaded with boneless chicken tossed in Garlic Parmesan and finished with Parmesan cheese.
Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries: Crispy fries smothered in the brand’s signature cheese sauce, topped with boneless chicken, crispy bacon and homemade ranch dressing.
Create Your Own Loaded Mac: Spiral noodles with signature cheese sauce and boneless chicken tossed in any flavor, plus customizable toppings.
Create Your Own Loaded Fries: Crispy fries layered with signature cheese sauce and boneless chicken tossed in any Detroit Wing Company flavor, with customizable add-ons.
Crispy Chicken Melt: Crispy chicken tenders, melted cheddar cheese and cool ranch dressing wrapped in a buttered tortilla, grilled until golden, served with a choice of sauce or dip.
“Carolina Gold is one of those sauces that keeps you coming back for another bite,” said Gus Malliaras, founder of Detroit Wing Co. “This sauce is a natural fit for everything from wings to loaded mac and fries. The result is a lineup with every item built to satisfy big appetites and bring people together while giving guests more ways to make the menu their own.”
Whether guests are exploring Carolina-style barbecue for the first time or customizing loaded fries or mac with one of Detroit Wing Co.’s more than 20 house-crafted sauces, the lineup offers a fresh way to enjoy the brand’s made-from-scratch menu during the final weeks of summer.
