To find out who has the best wing deals, we price compared cheap wings — boneless and bone-in traditional — at several nationwide wing chains to see who has the best price for a crowd. So what price should you plan on paying to stock your party with wings for the big game? The answer is a hefty $0.99 per boneless wing and $1.10 for each traditional.
If this sounds insane to you, I get it. But listen, gone are the days where you could get wings for $0.10 apiece. In 2018, chicken wing prices were at a 7-year low at $1.40 per pound and have since risen to around $4.31(!) per pound in 2021 and are hopefully leveling out again — we saw $1.76 per pound in August of 2023. So at this point, aim to spend $0.70 per wing and just be grateful there isn't another shortage.
So who has the best wing deals? We're giving this one to Wingstop. They have the cheapest boneless wings by a cent and while their traditional, bone-in wings are $1.10 (slightly higher than Domino's), they're actually $0.11 less per wing. Not in the mood for wings?
