How to read this category
Each row links to a dedicated item page with full nutrition, the dish description, and a link back to the parent restaurant. The category is editorially curated — items that show up in the same family of dishes (for example, "wings" pulls bone-in wings, boneless wings, and the limited-time wing-and-tender combos) but exclude unrelated wraps or appetizers.
