Fried chicken has a new name in Mililani. The state’s first Wingstop franchise opened Sept. 4 at The Gateway in Mililani Mauka.<\/p>\n
The Dallas-based chain sells cooked-to-order chicken, featuring both traditional and boneless wings and chicken strips in 11 flavors, including Mango Habanero, Garlic Parmesan and Teriyaki.<\/p>\n
In addition to sides like seasoned fries, vegetable sticks and cole slaw, the Hawaii location also will feature two state-exclusive (and very familiar) side dishes: rice and macaroni salad.<\/p>\n
“We are thrilled to introduce Wingstop to Hawaii and are confident that customers will immediately become fans,” said Jon Savage, a partner in Asia Pacific Restaurant Group, which operates the local franchise. “We’re inviting local residents to come in and taste what all the excitement is about.”<\/p>\n
This is the first of two Wingstops scheduled to open in Hawaii this year: The second is expected to open in November at Kapalama Center in Kalihi.<\/p>\n
The Mililani eatery is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to midnight.<\/p>\n
