Pizza Hut rolls out Nashville Hot wings, the chain’s ‘hottest flavor yet’

Nashville Hot packs a punch with cayenne pepper sauce and other spices

Pizza Hut has something new in store for customers who like spice.

The restaurant chain announced that it has rolled out the “Nashville Hot” flavor to its signature kitchen-fried, hand-tossed wings.

Pizza Hut did not immediately respond to a request for comment from FOX Business but described the wings as having “mouthwatering, sweat-inducing Nashville-style spice and southern heat” in a press release. They are topped with cayenne pepper sauce and a blend of tangy flavors.

The wings, which are available nationwide for a limited time, were advertised on Pizza Hut’s Twitter page, where fans shared their excitement, or lack thereof, to try them.
