Wing crave busters rock the market

Wing it on specialise­s in chicken wings

- IRENE SHONE BG CORRESPODE­NT

Wing It On are a new ideal in town for the chicken wings lovers, boasting a variety of seven unique homemade sauce flavours.

Back then, one would visit these big franchise restaurant­s such as Chicken Licken or Nando’s to satisfy their cravings but Wing It On has come out to serve. Their juicy flavoured wings are an exception and their branding also speaks for them, let alone their efficient delivery service on a motor bike, which gives the business some integrity. Owner and Director at Wing It On, Natasha Siku, better known for her athlete accolades tells BG Food Court that her anxiety during the Covid era, made her to shift from sports to venture into food business.

“I love wings and I have had so much experience with wings during my stay in the US. When I started Wing It On, I only needed a distractio­n from the pandemic, since sports were put on pause mode and I had nothing to do,” she says, explaining that her initial plan was to prepare just a small share and sell, then wait for another order.

Now she operates fully like any other restaurant and they are based in Broadhurst.

Her mouth- watering chicken wings created the turn up she did not expect. Many fell in love with the flavour and soon the product was in high demand. Within a very short period of time, Siku managed to secure a place to sell her product profession­ally and thereby employing about seven people she now works with.

They take pride in their in- house yummy sauces that add the zesty taste to their wings.

They have seven flavours: Honey barbecue, lemon pepper, Asian zing, lemon garlic, honey mustard, spicy barbecue and spicy jerk. They also have sides to complete their menu while also promoting healthy eating. They have a variety of salads and among them, their feta salad, seems to be their best- selling salad. Apart from salads, they also offer normal corn, tator tots, carjun fried corn as well as wedges to mention a few.

“Our Garlic lemon savory garlic flavour, is filled with that zesty lemon for the taste, while the honey mustard has that creamy Dijon mustard with a hint of sweet, and spicy barbecue has that rich, smokey sweet with some heat flavour,” Siku explains, reiteratin­g that when she remembered her Wings experience in the US, all she could imagine was the variety of flavours and so she decided to bring the same to Botswana. She appreciate­s the positive feedback that she receives, and says if it wasn’t for it, they wouldn’t have managed to open their food outlet where people now chill to enjoy the wings or make orders. “I am truly honoured because from a plan of 20 orders a day, now we take many orders and visits for our freshly prepared food,” she says.

They offer Individual­ly packed combo meals ideal for corporate lunches and parties, besides ordinary orders and the walk in service.
