Hot Honey Chicken Wings

Wingstop Has a New Hot Honey Rub for Summer 2022

Wingstop is putting a twist on a fan-favorite flavor with the introduction of its new Hot Honey Rub.

Perfect for summer, the new Hot Honey Rub combines the sweetness of honey with a powerful kick of heat courtesy of cayenne pepper and ancho chili. Unlikely traditional hot honey wing sauce, Wingstop's new Hot Honey Rub is a dry rub that has a uniquely crunchy, fiery, and sweet favor that is meant to “excite fans’ tastebuds.” The new rub can be ordered with a choice of proteins, including classic or boneless wings and crispy tenders, so you can enjoy it any way you like.

The new Hot Honey Rub is available for a limited time this summer at all Wingstop locations while supplies last.
