Wing Boss flying solo

July 13, 2021

Wing Boss, a virtual pit-smoked wing concept created four months ago by Dickey's Restaurant Brands, is building a permanent nest, according to a company press release.

The delivery-only concept, which has been serving wings from 70 of Dickey's 550 kitchens, is opening its first brick-and-mortar restaurant by summer's end at 3765 Beltline Road in Addison, Texas.

"We are thrilled to open our very first stand-alone Wing Boss location in Addison," Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants Inc., said in the release. "Dallas has been Dickey's home for 80 years, so this is the perfect place for us to start building out this thriving brand."

Available in combos or by the piece, wing fans may order hickory-smoked bone-in wings or boneless chicken wings in a variety of dry rubs and sauces, including Atomic, Sweet Chili, Barbecue Dry Spice, Buffalo Mild, Buffalo Hot, Original Barbecue, Sweet Barbecue, Cajun Spice, Lemon Pepper, Spicy Korean, Texas Hot Sauce and Garlic Parmesan.

For tender fans, the menu features breaded chicken strips served with a choice of sauce.

Dickey's was founded in 1941 by Travis Dickey.
