    Wingstop Tenders and Wings for a Big Dairy-Free Win

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on January 5, 2023 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated January 2023! 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, and shouldn’t be relied upon. 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
    • Chicken Sandwich
    • Classic (Bone-In) Wings
    • Crispy Tenders

    Heads Up! All chicken, including the sandwich, can be ordered with the “Wing Flavors” below.

    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.

    There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen.

    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.

    Question

    Does anyone know if the new chicken sandwiches have dairy-free buns?

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    According to the company, the chicken sandwich is dairy free by ingredients, so the buns do not contain milk.

    Confused by allergens

    Their nutrition listed all the dry rubs as having dairy. I’m confused as to why. But in their allergen section they aren’t listed?

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    As noted above, the “allergen” section on Wingstop’s website hasn’t been updated in many years. It is an exclusion statement that is based on a very old menu and doesn’t include seasonings, sauces, and products that have been added since then. The above information is based on their actual, current allergen information.

    Thank you

    Your website has helped me so much! Thanks for all of your help and wonderful guidance. I did want to mention that I got some lemon pepper wings because their website said that they didn’t have dairy but truly the wings were soaked in butter. I didn’t eat them, I’;m alpha-gal. But I have had their lemon pepper fries and they were delicious and didn’t have butter on them! So I think it’s safe to say that one could order the lemon pepper fries and probably the Louisiana dry rub as well, assuming they don’t put butter on those fries either.

    We’ve been eating here fairly consistently after reading about the allergy friendly options here. We haven’t had a problem and will continue to eat here.

    Any idea on the allergens in their new chicken sandwich? I wrote to them but did not get a response.

    Thank you for all of your help with navigating the dairy free lifestyle. It is not easy. I do want to let you know that on the Wing Stop website Lemon Pepper is not listed as having dairy.

    Thank you so much for the time you take to update your page. I have loved Wingstop for a while now but I have been consistently getting sick and with the Lemon Pepper, I could not understand why there always seemed to be a puddle of what looked to me like butter in the container. This explains it all. YOu are the best. Please continue to do what you do.

    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.
