Outback recently welcomed back its popular [Steak ‘N](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-oreo-shake) Mate Combos for a limited time, and this time around they've added a spicy new wing option. The new Nashville Hot Wings consist of crunchy, fried chicken wings that have been coated in a hot Nashville-style dry rub. To quell the heat, the wings are served with house-made Blue Cheese dressing on the side. As part of the new Steak ‘N Mate Combo, consumers can enjoy a six-ounce center-cut sirloin steak, two sides, and your choice of either the new Nashville Hot Wings, Bloomin’ Fried Shrimp, or Alice Springs Chicken – all for less than $24.
