    Wingstop Tenders and Wings for a Big Dairy-Free Win

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on March 17, 2022 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated March 2022! Appetizers are often loaded with dairy. Even chicken wings are frequently battered with dairy or buffalo-sauced with a buttery mixture. We usually just make our own, but lately I’ve been hearing a lot about Wingstop. They have quite a few options for dairy-free diners, and several people have reported them as milk allergy-friendly. We looked into it, and discovered this big menu of dairy-free options, which happens to be egg-free and nut-free, too.

    Wingstop Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Custom, Vegan & Allergen Notes

    Wingstop Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Custom, Vegan & Allergen Notes

    They have an “every item but these” allergen statement on Wingstop, which hasn’t been updated in years. So it doesn’t address new or changed items. We do our best to keep a fully updated guide with all options. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks. Please note that this guide is for the U.S. locations. Options may vary in other countries.

    Fryer Note: At last check, all fried items at Wingstop were made without dairy, eggs, fish, nuts, and peanuts. The chicken and fries are seasoned and sauced after frying. If concerned about potential fryer cross-contamination, verify that this is the case at your location before ordering.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All items listed below are also made without egg, fish, nuts, and peanut. Wingstop does use soy oil for frying. All fried items are cooked in a shared fryer, so gluten cross-contamination may be a concern. However, they do “filter the oil to minimize cross-contamination from wheat.” For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    Chicken

    • Boneless Wings
    • Classic (Bone-In) Wings
    • Crispy Tenders
    • Thigh Bites (see note below)

    Heads Up! We contacted Wingstop for more information about their newer Thigh Bites. They sent a vague response back that indicated, by process of elimination, that the thigh bites were made without dairy, eggs, and nuts. Confirm at your location before ordering.

    Wing Flavors

    • Atomic
    • Bayou BBQ (seasonal)
    • Cajun
    • Hawaiian
    • Hickory Smoked BBQ
    • Hot Lemon (seasonal)
    • Mango Habanero
    • Original Hot
    • Plain
    • Spicy Korean Q

    Heads Up! The Garlic Parmesan has always contained dairy, but now the Lemon Pepper, Louisiana Rub, Mild, Old Bay, and seasonal Lemon Garlic reportedly contain dairy. Their allergen information is conflicting and incomplete, so be sure to verify on ordering. Keep in mind that they might use shared bowls for seasoning the wings. Make sure to alert your server when ordering if you have cross-contamination concerns.

    Dipping Sauces

    Heads Up! All Wingstop dips contain dairy, including the Honey Mustard, Ranch, and Blue Cheese Dips. But your can order a side of “Flavor” Sauce (options listed above) as your dip. They also have ketchup available.

    Sides

    • Seasoned Fries with regular Fry Seasoning or Cajun Seasoning
    • Cajun Fried Corn
    • Veggie Sticks (no dip)

    Heads Up! The Fresh Baked Rolls do contain dairy.

    Wingstop Vegan Menu Guide

    At this time, Wingstop does not offer any plant-based or vegan wing alternatives. They do offer the following vegan sides:

    • Seasoned Fries with regular Fry Seasoning or Cajun Seasoning
    • Cajun Fried Corn
    • Veggie Sticks (no dip)
    • All Wing Flavors listed above are made without dairy or eggs. Inquire on honey if strictly vegan. These can be ordered as a dip.

    Menus, ingredients, kitchen procedures, management, food sourcing, and restaurant protocols are subject to change at any time. Always read the menu and discuss your dietary needs with the staff before ordering. Make sure they can accommodate your situation. This post is for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as advice.

    There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen. If cross-contamination is an issue for you, always speak with the manager to ensure that your meal can be safely prepared. Listings here do not guarantee that a restaurant is safe enough for your individual needs. Only you can make that decision.

    Each location of a chain restaurant has different management and staff, and some might have different owners. This means differences in processes, ingredients used, menu options, and food sourcing can occur. Always verify the safety of your order for your needs at your current location.

    The Korean sauce is a great spicy option. It’s delicious on the chicken and fries!

    Louisiana Rub is not dairy free

    Rated 1 out of 5
    August 15, 2021

    Just got wings at WingStop and ordered Louisiana Rub expecting a dry rub, but it was very much soaked in butter. Fair warning… WingStop says “no milk” but they don’t generalize to “dairy”.

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    It is supposed to be a dry rub, and no milk does mean no milk products of any kind (no dairy). If it is soaked in butter, ask to speak with the manager and report the situation to corporate if it isn’t properly handled. Keep in mind that location managers might make liberties. Always make sure to verify your needs when ordering.

    Thank you

    Hi. Thank you so much for this. Just wanted to let you know the lemon garlic have dairy in them. They’re a mix of garlic Parmesan and lemon pepper.
