Wingstop Elevates 4/20 with a New Strain of T.H.C. (The Hot Chili) Rub

Wingstop recognizes that fans love to celebrate this special day with Wingstop's flavors in hand. The cooked-to-order Wingstop Hot Box will spark up fans' taste buds with their choice of the iconic chicken sandwich, 8-piece classic or boneless wings or 3-piece tenders.

The craveable Wingstop Hot Box comes hand sauced-and-tossed in the new strain of T.H.C. (The Hot Chili) Rub*, combining the fiery zest of chili peppers with a secret blend of herbs and spices, paired with a side of Wingstop's iconic ranch, seasoned fries and a 20 oz drink.

"Our fans count on Wingstop to deliver flavor when cravings hit, and 4/20 is no different," said Melissa Cash, Wingstop's Chief Brand Officer. "This year, we're bringing back the Wingstop Hot Box, with a bold new flavor that elevates any experience during this special day."
