Winter may be coming, but Charleys Cheesesteaks & Wings is bringing the heat with the launch of its new Scorpion Sting Wings.
Officially available as of October 29, 2024, the new Scorpion Sting Wings are just as fiery as the name would suggest. Each order of the new wings features a powerful blend of scorpion pepper powder, smoked paprika, garlic, and onion. The brand describes them as "perfect for those who love extreme heat."
To help balance the heat of the new Scorpion Sting Wings, Charleys will also be debuting a new Watermelon Strawberry Lemonade. This cooling and refreshing beverage combines real watermelon with strawberries, cane sugar, and lemon juice to help consumers calm their palettes and rehydrate.
