Wingstop is taking a flyer thighs.

The Dallas, Texas-based chicken wing chain has launched a virtual brand called “Thighstop” in a bid to get customers to order crispy chicken thighs instead of the traditional wings, which have surged in price. The menu is largely the same, with customers able to pick one of 11 flavors and opt for either a bone-in or boneless thigh.
