WingStreet Wings From Pizza Hut Take Flight as 'The Official Wing of Football'

Posted on: Monday, 12 October 2009, 07:00 CDT

DALLAS, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to the foods football fans want, buffalo wings have long been at the top of the list. And whether you're tailgating outside the stadium or gathering to watch the game with friends at home, only authentic wings with that spicy buffalo kick will do. For years, the idea of enjoying great tasting buffalo wings outside a bar or restaurant seemed impossible, but wing lovers across America are about to get in on a secret that's been spreading since 2003. If you want authentic taste and the convenience of delivery or carry out, WingStreet wings from Pizza Hut are your answer.

As the "Official Wings of Football" WingStreet brings authentic, flavor-intense wings for delivery or carry-out in eight different sauces and three different wing styles- traditional, bone-out, and crispy bone-in. Combining everything you love about one of America's favorite finger foods with the convenience of Pizza Hut delivery, WingStreet is your one-stop shop for crowd-pleasing eats. Just ask one of the country's foremost wing experts, the Wing King himself, Buffalo's own Drew Cerza.

"I know a great wing the second I taste one, and the taste of WingStreet hits the mark," says the host of the annual Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo, N.Y., birthplace of the buffalo wing. "Whether you want sweet or spicy, hot or mild, WingStreet has a taste for every wing fan."

WingStreet offers eight intense flavors in three wing types: crispy bone-in, bone-out and traditional (unbreaded). The hardest part about ordering WingStreet wings is deciding which combination to choose. Flavors include:

Buffalo Burnin' Hot - Extreme Heat for the daring buffalo eater. Buffalo Medium - Bold buffalo flavor with a spicy kick. Buffalo Mild - All the flavor without the fire. Honey BBQ - Sweet taste from the honey side of the street. Garlic Parmesan - The toast of Italy, the taste of two great flavors. Spicy BBQ - Savory and sassy with just a little kick. Cajun - Peppered with Cajun flavors from Louisiana. Spicy Asian - Far East flavors in a spicy sweet sauce.

"In communities across the country, Pizza Hut fans are already enjoying the great taste of WingStreet wings," said Scott Bergren, Pizza Hut President and CEO. "With dozens of Pizza Hut restaurants adding WingStreet to the menu each week, we're excited to bring the authentic taste of great buffalo wings and the convenience of delivery from Pizza Hut to more wing lovers."

WingStreet wings have earned bragging rights by taking home titles, such as best "Traditional Hot Wing Sauce" in 2007 and "Best Medium Sauce" in 2006 and 2008 at the National Buffalo Wing Festival, as well as "Best Medium Sauce" and "Best BBQ Sauce" at the Atlanta Wing Festival in 2007. In 2007 Nation's Restaurant News named WingStreet one of the hot concepts of the year.

WingStreet is currently on the menu at nearly 2,900 Pizza Hut restaurants nationwide, a number that will continue to increase in the coming months.

And WingStreet offers some great menu pairings that no other chicken wing chain can match. From Pizza Hut's signature pizzas to the company's line of Tuscani Pastas there are plenty of options to pair together or enjoy separately. WingStreet wings can serve as the main event, or a sweet and spicy sidekick to a meal fit for the whole team.

You can order all your Pizza Hut favorites via the new Pizza Hut iPhone App for the iPhone and iPod Touch. And pizza lovers can follow Pizza Hut on Twitter @pizzahut, to find out about hot deals, and become a fan of Pizza Hut on Facebook.
