The Another Wing menu features boneless and bone-in wings, with seven flavours inspired by some of DJ Khaled's biggest catchphrases including but not limited to "Don't Quit Nashville Hot," "Un Un Un Believable Buffalo," "You Loyal! Lemon Pepper," "Honey! Honey! Hot Honey Sriracha," and "They Don't Want You To Win Buffalo."
Inclusive of JustKitchen's locations in Taiwan and Hong Kong , these brands are being offered by REEF on four continents, from over 165 locations including the United States , the United Kingdom , Canada , France and the United Arab Emirates .
