Wingstop has changed the recipe on its chicken tenders that, according to representatives, makes them crispier yet lighter.

Tenders are available in 12 regular flavors, either sauces or dry rubs, plus two limited-time flavors: Sweet Chili Glaze and Lakers Legendary Garlic.

The Dallas-based chain is promoting its tenders with a $9.99 combo. It includes three tenders in one flavor; one dip; seasoned fries or a different side; and a 20-ounce soft drink.

If you order online, you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade at every step. For instance, you can add on two extra tenders for $3 or Large Cheese Fries for $2.50 extra.

We tried it out sticking to the basic options and got three tenders with the Lakers dry rub, honey mustard dip, veggie sticks instead of fries and a cup for self-serve soft drinks.

The total with sales tax was $10.86, and the order took about 15 minutes to prepare.

The promotion also includes a giveaway of 1 million chicken tenders, according to a news release.
