Thai Chili Chicken Wings

Smashburger just added cravable new Sweet Thai Chili Wings

— September 9, 2023 — Lifestyle
Smashburger is bringing the heat this fall with the launch of its new Sweet Thai Chili Wings.

Released just in time for football season – aka chicken wing season – the new offering as an Asian-inspired twist to the popular chicken dish. Each serving of the new Sweet Thai Chili Wings starts with six jumbo, bone-in wings, all tossed in a garlicky Sweet Thai Chili sauce. As the brand puts it: "Sweet Thai Chili Wings hit all the best flavor notes - sweet & tangy on the front yet, but kick up some heat on the back end." And just like Smashburger's other wings, the chicken is all-natural, sourced from the U.S., and completely free of hormones and steroids.
