Starting Thursday, September 13, all Wing It On! Locations will offer the Lavaberry Pop Rocks Dry Rub for a limited time while supplies last.

These flavor-packed wings are available to snag in packs of 10, 20, or 30. The crackling dry rub consists of real watermelon and strawberry Pop Rocks, plus Wing It On!’s siracha dry rub.

“Wing fans across the nation should be ready to have their palates rocked! We proudly sport our menu innovation. It's what's catapulted us to the top of the wing category in the restaurant industry.

The Lavaberry Pop Rocks Dry Rub is already proving to be a standout performer. During its recent debut at the National Buffalo Wing Festival, a team of seasoned judges awarded it second place in the Dry Rub category of the event’s Restaurant Sauce Off. Plus, thousands of wing fans at the event couldn’t control their cravings for the rockingflavor.

The new dry rub is available to fans instore, online, on the WIO! mobile app as well as third-party delivery sites DoorDash and Uber Eats.

Wing It On! has built a devoted fan-base by redefining the norm for serving up crispy and fresh wings. Through a simplified and innovative menu, the brand has attracted customers who appreciate its commitment to authentic Buffalo-style wings, prepared to absolute perfection with its original sauce and seasonings. In addition to its well-known wings and boneless tenders, Wing It On! also presents a range of handcrafted crispy chicken sandwiches, mouthwatering sides, and fries you can personalize.

Creating an exceptional wing experience goes back to the early 2000s when Ensero, and his friends would argue amongst themselves every football Sunday about who was driving 30-plus minutes to pick up wings from some of their favorite spots in surrounding towns. However, the distance and Styrofoam take out boxes would always result in soggy and cold wings once they got home. Ensero had enough, hence, Wing It On! was born. He opened the first Wing It On! in his hometown Waterbury, Connecticut, serving only the crispiest of wings that all true wing nuts crave.
