The Wingstop $5 Flavor Cravings menu has been debuted by the brand as a limited time offering that's being test marketed to help the brand tap into the unquenchable demand for value amidst increasing cost pressures for consumers.
The menu features a variety of options for diners to choose from that are mostly taken directly from the brand's existing menu, but served in smaller portions to meet the low-cost price point. The menu thus features four Classic Wings or a new Chicken Tender Sandwich for $4.99 each, while four Boneless Wings or two Crispy Tenders come in at $3.99 each. The menu also features the Regular Voodoo Fries and Regular Cajun Corn for $4.49 and $3.49, respectively.
The Wingstop $5 Flavor Cravings menu is being tested through July 15, 2026 in select markets and encourages consumers to create a customized meal this summer.
