The American fast-casual chain is introducing three wing flavors to its menu just "in time for football season," the company wrote in a press release.
Chicken-favoring customers can choose from a BBQ sauce flavor, a Scorchin' Hot flavor made with Nashville Hot seasoning and a Garlic Rosemary flavor made with rosemary, garlic salt pepper seasoning and thyme.

"Our guests constantly crave different flavors and options, so menu variety is important to us," Smashburger President Carl Bachmann said in a statement.
"We've seen great success with our non-burger offerings and are always looking for new ways to change the game through our innovation," he continued. "[The wings are] meaty and juicy, made with familiar flavor profiles we know our guests will love."
Smashburger says the chicken wings that it's serving are all sourced from local farms and each wing is reportedly hormone- and steroid-free.
