Wingstop launches Thighstop amid chicken wing shortage Wingstops Thighstop is encouraging guests to try thighs, which are one of the juiciest and most flavorful parts of the chicken. | Thighstop The nations chicken wars and cravings for comfort food during the pandemic have made poultry so scarce and expensive that some restaurants are limiting or running out of chicken sandwiches, wings and tenders. Wingstop is expanding its body of chicken offerings with Thighstop, an online-only, temporary restaurant that will deliver chicken thighs via DoorDash amid a chicken shortage. The new thigh concept will be available at more than 1,400 locations nationwide and is addressing the consumers fear of a chicken wing shortage head-on, the company said in a release provided by Thighstop spokesperson Megan Sprague. We think theyll appeal to guests because theyre a different part of the chicken and therefore a new way to experience Wingstop flavor, Charlie Morrison, CEO and chairman of Wingstop restaurants, said. They eat like a wing, but with more meat, Morrison continued.
