# Spicy Southern Wing Sauces Slim Chickens Just Added a New Carolina Gold Wing Sauce Flavor By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2023-04-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carolina-gold References: [fastfoodpost](https://www.fastfoodpost.com/slim-chickens-introduces-new-carolina-gold-and-honey-hot-wing-flavors/)  Slim Chickens is bringing the heat (and the sweet) this season with the launch of a new Carolina Gold wing sauce and a new Honey Hot wing sauce. Added as part of the brand's House Wing Flavors lineup, both of the new sauces are limited-time offerings. The new Carolina Gold Wings option consists of crispy bone-in wings doused in a rich southern sauce, with a subtle, but noticeable kick. On the other hand, the new Honey Hot Wings consist of [crunchy bone-in wings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-garlic-sriracha-crispy-chicken-wings) with a [honey glaze mixed with maple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-chipotle) and smoky cayenne pepper, which adds a little bit of heat to the sweet sauce. Both of the new wing sauce options can be enjoyed as part of a Wing Meal, which comes with six or eight wings, plus a side of Texas toast, a drink, and [one dipping sauce of your choice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-jalapeno).
