Detroit Wing Company is helping consumers enjoy its signature flavors all summer long with a new menu that includes tasty offerings like the new Garlic Parm Loaded Mac Nā Cheese and the new Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries.
Available now through September 20th, Detroit Wing Company's new limited-time lineup is built for the very best of barbeque season. The new menu is built around the return of the brand's Carolina Gold Sauce, which puts a twist on the brand's signature Honey BBQ sauce with rich mustard notes, sweetness, and just a hint of smokiness. The flavor is featured in dishes like the new Garlic Parm Loaded Mac Nā Cheese, which features cheese sauce-coated spiral noodles topped with boneless chicken tossed in Garlic Parmesan and Parmesan cheese on top. There's also the new Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries, which consists of crispy fries smothered in cheese sauce, topped with boneless chicken, bacon pieces, and a homemade ranch dressing.
