With the Super Bowl just over a week away, it’s time to starting planning your menu.

And whether you like your wings spicy hot or on the mild side, there are plenty of eateries offering this football food staple.

According to 2020 study by National Chicken Council, Americans ate an estimated 1.4 billion chicken wings during Super Bowl LIV. With more people watching the big game at home, that number is expected to double in 2021, the council says.

At It’s Just Wings in Bartonsville, you can order as many chicken wings as you want without leaving the house.

The new company is owned by Brinker International, which also operates Chili’s and Maggiano’s restaurants.

“It’s Just Wings operates out of 1,050 Chili’s and Maggiano’s restaurants across the country. It’s a virtual brand so there are no brick and mortar stores and is available for delivery via DoorDash,” a spokesperson for the company said. “We saw an opportunity to create a no frills, delivery-only concept in partnership with DoorDash, our delivery partner, to meet our guests’ needs for value and convenience. As a virtual brand, wings were the perfect choice for providing quality food at a value that can be delivered straight to the guest’s door.”

There are 11 sauces to choose from including buffalo sauce, honey sriracha, ranch rub, Santa Fe, spicy pineapple teriyaki, honey chipotle, ranch rub, apple BBQ sauce, Cajun spice rub, mango habanero sauce, garlic Parmesan sauce, and a lemon pepper rub. Super Bowl combos start at $18 for 22 boneless wings, curly fries and a drink. They also sell traditional bone-in wings and pecan smoked bone-in wings.
