I tried 5 flavors of wings from Wingstop and ranked them from worst to best

• Wingstop reported 38.8% revenue growth and opened 273 new US locations in 2024.
• Wingstop’s most popular flavors include Original Hot, barbecue, garlic Parmesan, and hot honey.
• We also tried the chain’s newest limited-time-only flavor, Sweet Chili Glaze.

Nothing says tailgating like a classic chicken wing, and arguably no chain is more famous for its hot wings than Wingstop.

A report by the National Chicken Council estimates Americans will eat 1.47 billion chicken wings this Super Bowl weekend.

It comes as chains that specialize in chicken wings, such as Wingstop, are also experiencing significant growth.

In October 2024, the chain, which focuses its menu on bone-in chicken wings, boneless wings, and other chicken items, announced 38.8% year-over-year revenue growth.

Wingstop’s senior director of culinary, Larry Bellah, told Business Insider that the chain’s bone-in traditional wings are its most popular offering, and the chain’s Original Hot, hickory-smoked barbecue, garlic Parmesan, and hot honey rub rank among its most popular flavors, in addition to lemon garlic.

I tried four of the chain’s most popular flavors, plus the chain’s newest limited-time-only sauce offering, Sweet Chili Glaze, a “sweet and spicy fusion” of sweet chili, rich hoisin, and red chili sauce.
