Is Wingstop Halal?

The short answer

Wingstop is not halal-certified in the United States and has no company-wide halal program. Its chicken is raised and slaughtered in the ordinary commercial way, and the fryers are shared. A few independently owned Wingstop restaurants buy halal chicken, but you must confirm this at the local store.

Is Wingstop halal in the United States?

No US Wingstop location holds certification from IFANCA, the American Halal Foundation or any other recognized body. The chicken is not slaughtered the zabiha way. On top of that, the wings and sides are cooked in the same fryers, which is another concern for strict eaters.

Do any Wingstop locations serve halal chicken?

A small number of independently owned Wingstop restaurants buy halal chicken from halal suppliers. This is a choice made by the local owner, not part of any Wingstop policy. A halal Wingstop in one area tells you nothing about a Wingstop in another area, so check the certification directly before you order.

Is Wingstop halal in other countries?

Yes, in the UK. All Wingstop locations in the UK serve halal-certified chicken. That program does not apply to the United States.
