One of those queuing was Jade Rowe: “I love a freebee and have tried it before in Manchester.
“I’m a spice freak, I’m most excited to try the garlic and parmesan chicken.”
Amongst the mouth-watering menu items are boneless wings, chicken tenders, chicken burger and ‘voodoo fries’ with Cajun seasoning, cheese sauce and ranch.
Customers can also customise the flavour of their meal from ten options ranging in spice level from simple ‘Hawaiian’ to ‘Atomic’ which is described on the menu as a ‘haberno fuelled inferno.
For those with a sweet tooth churros are also on the menu and customers can choose between “Oreo or Lotus Biscoff” topping with either a “Sweet Milk or Caramel sauce.”
General manager Fernando Caceres said: “I’m really excited about today the queue is really long already and we are excited to welcome in the first one hundred customers with a choice of free wings or tenders.
“We have been waiting for this moment for two weeks and I’m so excited that we are finally able to open our doors.
“My favourite thing on the menu is the chicken tenders but I think that the wings will be the most popular choice amongst today’s customers.”
You can find the full menu available at the Bolton restaurant via the Wingstop website.
