Wingstop

I watch broadcast TV for the first time in months. It was mainly just the news and some football, but I saw a commercial for Wingstop. They had a $20 deal for a bunch of wings and tenders. I’ve never tried Wingstop, having always gone to Raising Cane’s for chicken fingers but since Wingstop was also offering free delivery, I placed an order online. The All-in Bundle has 16 boneless chicken wings, 6 chicken fingers, and an order of fries. You get to choose up to four flavors and a bunch of dipping sauce. I ended up getting; plain, lemon pepper, BBQ, and Korean spicy. The boneless wings were basically chicken nuggets but more chicken meat-like than the McDonalds nuggets. Overall, it was a good deal. The three of us only ate about 3/4 of the food, and had some leftover wings and tenders. I thought the Korean spicy was really spicy but my mom said it wasn’t too spicy and ate most of it. Delivery was actually with Doordash. My one previous experience with them was poor. We ordered from California Pizza Kitchen and the food was delivered late and cold. This time, we gave them about two hours of lead time and the food was delivered right on time and pretty hot/fresh too.

Nutritional information from their website:

OMG! Those are really high numbers but even worse, it’s only for two wings or tenders. The All-in Bundle has 16 wings and 6 tenders so doing a quick calculation, excluding fries, the order contained:

• Calories = 2365
• Fat = 108 g
• Saturated fat = 25 g
• Sodium = 9663 mg
• Cholesterol = 333 mg

That is a lot of salt. The plain wings actually tasted okay but the other three flavors were pretty salty. I’m pretty overweight this weekend; it’s like from all the sodium in the chicken and all the water/juice I drank to wash down the salty flavor. Should have checked the nutritional info before ordering.
