The Wingstop Mexican Street Spice is the brand's newest chicken wing flavor that draws inspiration from the classic grilled Mexican street corn (elotes) to offer customers a new kind of taste experience. The seasoning features a blend of chili, garlic and cilantro with notes of char to drive home the barbecue-inspired theme, which is rounded out with tastes of lime and parmesan cheese. The dry-rubbed chicken seasoning can be ordered on all of the brand's fried chicken menu items including bone-in and boneless wings, terns and even its fried chicken sandwich.
The new Wingstop Mexican Street Spice is launching with a special deal that will offer fans 20 wings for $20 with their choice of up to three flavors.
