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

The sticky sauce coated my fingers as I enjoyed these wings, which were perfectly sized — not too big or too small — with just the right amount of tender chicken.

This was the spiciest wing flavor I tried, but still isn’t the spiciest sauce offered by Wingstop. The chain also offers an Atomic flavor that really brings the heat.

The sauce had a complex depth, balancing a bold vinegar tang with a buttery richness, finished with a slightly smoky spice that wasn’t overwhelming.

The heat didn’t overpower the flavor — instead, it enhanced it.

I’ve heard from multiple people that hot honey is their favorite Wingstop flavor, by far — and I had to agree.

While the wings do have “hot” in their name, diners who don’t like spice shouldn’t be alarmed. They had a very slight kick to them but definitely didn’t have me reaching for a glass of milk.

The wings had a distinct buttery, sweet flavor to them with just the right amount of salty flavor and spice that seemed to linger on my tongue, without being overpowering.

While I enjoy saucy wings, these crispy fried wings were crunchy on the outside while keeping the chicken inside tender and juicy.

The slight hint of spice, crispy texture, and buttery flavor of these wings struck the perfect balance.
