Are WhataWings Bone-In or Boneless? Flavors and Calories
WhataWings are boneless: Whataburger launched them as boneless wings in January 2024. They come in Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Honey Butter, Sweet & Spicy and plain; the 9-piece is $9.19 and 810 calories with buffalo sauce and ranch.
Bone-in or boneless?
WhataWings are boneless. When they arrived, the launch was reported as "Whataburger releases new boneless wings to menu" (a Reddit post dated January 8, 2024), and the online menu sells them by the piece in 9, 18, 36 and 72 counts.
So expect boneless chicken pieces in a sauce, not traditional bone-in wings. A Reddit thread asking how good the wings are drew 44 comments, so opinions vary. Sizes and prices are on WhataWings.
Flavors and calories
Whataburger lists the 18-wing bundle's calories by flavor: Buffalo 1,140, Honey BBQ 1,260, Honey Butter 1,520, Sweet & Spicy 1,280, Plain 1,080. These are for the wings only, not the fries and dips.
Plain is the lightest and Honey Butter the heaviest. Per wing, that is about 60 to 84 calories. The 9-piece with buffalo sauce and ranch is 810 calories.
Prices
The 9-piece is $9.19 (or $12.69 as a Whatameal), the 18 bundle $22.79, the 36 bundle $45.49 and the 72 Party Pack $83.99, at Store #608 (Dallas Pkwy & Frankford, Dallas, TX) on Nov 3, 2026.
Bundles add fries and dipping sauces; see WhataWings bundles and Party Pack.
Wings vs strips
Boneless wings and Whatachick'n Strips are both breaded chicken, so the choice comes down to sauce and price. Three strips (#13) are $6.19 and 550 calories; nine wings (#14) are $9.19 and 810 calories with sauce and ranch.
Wings are sold by flavor, from plain to Honey Butter. Strips are on the Whatachick'n Strips page.
Which size to buy
Per wing, the 9-piece is about $1.02, the 18 bundle $1.27 and the 72 Party Pack $1.17 (our math). The 9-piece is the cheapest per wing. The bundles cost more per wing because they include fries and dipping sauces, so they make sense when you want the sides too.
Boneless wings and allergens
Boneless wings are usually breaded, so expect wheat in the coating, as with the strips. Allergen lines for the wings were not in our data; the closest item, the Whatachick'n Strips, lists gluten, milk, soy, wheat. Check the allergen menu.
