One of the best ways to spend $3.99 at a fast food restaurant as far as I'm concerned.

Kinda sucks that they give you only 6-8 wings though. Wish it came in larger servings, since it doesn't really fill me up. Either way, the sauce is delicious.

Try it if you haven't yet.

I keep meaning to try any of the three variations, but you just get so little for the price.

Only reason I haven't tried it is because it doesn't look like they give you much food at all, even in the freakin advertisements. Frankly, if I'm going to go into a fast food place and spend $4, I want to walk out with my hunger satiated.

honey bbq was not great, but then again I live in TX so bbq is big here (and I have had real SC sweet bbq). But yes, the sweet and spicy is incredible. Only thing I would recommend is rice with it. I was eating it thinking "damn this would be incredible with some rice".

Haven't tried buffalo yet but I plan to soon by putting it on a pizza.

Buffalo and BBQ chicken pizza is great too. There's a pizza place next door to my apartment makes such a mean (read: good) BBQ chicken pizza.

Although, it didn't sit well with me after a night of drinking last week. Didn't taste quite as good coming back up.

Yeah I've been eating the Asian chicken or the buffalo chicken for lunch a couple of days a week for a while now. The portion size is rather small, but I'm trying to limit my fat/calorie intake so it's big enough for me. I try to limit how frequently I eat them though, because they have a ridiculous amount of sodium.

To anybody that's had these:

Know of any brands/flavors of sauce that taste like the sauce Wendy's uses?

With a combination of being hungry and watching their newest promo commercials (which in the end, left me deeply dissappointed because they looked so good on tv), I decided to try the buffalo wings about a week ago. They were mediocre at best, mostly due to the fact that they are pretty much chicken nuggets that get the sauce added and shook up right before you eat them. Given that, the buffalo sauce was pretty good and I might try the asian sweet and spicy sometime this week.

These things really don't deserve to be called "boneless wings"... all they really are is chicken nuggets with some fancy dipping sauce.

Yeah, that's exactly what they taste like. I had them a couple months ago, and I wasn't impressed for the price.

It's not that close a match, but I've come to the conclusion that for sweet and spicy sauce you can't beat Blair's Sweet Death. I spent hundreds of dollars looking for a better sauce, and nothing can match it.

Imagine how great it will taste when you actually try REAL food.

Noted. I'll see if I can grab that anywhere.

As somebody mentioned above, they're pretty much just chicken nuggets douced in sweet & spicy sauce.

And I'm pretty sure they're fried.

You won't have much luck finding it in stores. You'll need to find a specialty store or order it on the interwebs. I live in central NJ, and the closest places I've found it are NYC and PA. I usually buy it by the case (12 bottles) on the Internet.

It's $6-8 for a ~10 oz bottle, but I don't drench my chicken in the stuff - a bottle lasts me quite a few meals.

They are fried and the "sauce" is basically a heavy corn syrup-based mess that tastes great ... but is great for you, of course.

A great way to start your quest towards the legions of the obese.

I've lost 25 pounds since I started eating Wendy's boneless wings. Moderation...

They're not nuggets. Nuggets are usually compressed meat. They're all white meat, and not compressed/compiled. That's why they cost a lot more than the nuggets do.

The sauce is fantastic. It's very similar to Buffalo Wild Wings (BW3)'s Asian Zing sauce. I have recipes for it and for Chili's Honey Chipotle, though they're both terrible for you. Moderation.
