Shake Shack teams up with Flagrant to launch chicken wings in Hong Kong for the first time
But they’ll only be on the menu for a limited time
Shake Shack has partnered with Flagrant, a local Hong Kong sauce maker, to introduce chicken wings to its menus for the first time. The wings, called Flagrant yuzu hot wings, will be available at all Shacks in the city from August 6 to October 11. These crispy wings are coated in a unique glaze made with Flagrant's signature yuzu koji hot sauce, which combines yuzu zest, Japanese rice vinegar, and sugar for a distinctive flavor.
Matt Abergel, Flagrant's co-founder and culinary director, noted that fried food, especially the wings, really showcases the sauce's potential. Flagrant's fermented yuzu koji hot sauce doesn't require cooking, allowing it to maintain freshness and achieve a perfect balance of heat, citrus, and umami. For those who want to bring the heat home, the sauce is also available as a 150ml bottle for $78.
Ordering the wings allows customers to add $15 to purchase a smaller 50ml keychain bottle of the hot sauce. Additionally, the first week of the launch (August 6 to 12) will see a portion of net sales going to the More Good Foundation, a local charity focused on providing nutritious meals to vulnerable communities in Hong Kong.
