With the debut of its new Harissa Lemon Pepper and Ancho Honey Glaze wing sauce flavors, Wingstop aims to inject a little bit of spice into its [chicken wing menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wing-rub-line). The Harissa Lemon Pepper delivers the zestiness of hot roasted red peppers, while the Ancho Honey Glaze has a more [smokey taste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-n-smokey-chipotle) that comes from the use of ancho chili peppers. Both are limited-edition wing sauce flavors. As consumers are exposed to more global dishes, unique flavor combinations incorporating ingredients like harissa are becoming increasingly common at chain restaurants.
