Wingstop Is Giving Away 1 Million New Crispy Tenders for Free

Wingstop has developed a recipe for new, even crispier chicken tenders. To celebrate, the chain is putting 1 million of these delicious, savory snacks up for grabs.

Wingstop’s new crispy tenders are delicious on their own. However, they shine when paired with the company’s iconic sauces and dry rubs. From Hot Honey Rub to Lemon Pepper, the wing chain has a total of 12 flavors to take your chicken meal to a new level.

To commemorate the new menu item, Wingstop is giving away 1 million tenders for free. All customers have to do is fill out a form to receive a coupon code that can be redeemed online for two of the crispier tenders — though the offer is only available to the first 500,000 guests for a limited time.

“Chicken tenders are everywhere, but let’s be honest, no one can do flavor like Wingstop,” said Chief Revenue Officer Mark Christenson in a press release. “Our new crispy tenders are hand sauced-and-tossed in our bold flavors, satisfying the cravings of our loyal fans and bringing new guests into Wingstop to experience flavor — our key differentiator.”

Wingstop fans can enjoy these crunchier chicken tenders in a three-piece tender combo that costs $9.99 and comes complete with seasoned fries, a drink, and ranch dressing. The eatery also offers a Flavor Feast bundle of 16 boneless wings, six crispy tenders, large fries, and three dips for $23.99.
