How Many Calories Are in Chicken Wings?
Six plain fried wings run 430 to 540 calories depending on size and how long they sat in the fryer. The sauce matters less than people assume: buffalo sauce is mostly hot sauce and butter and adds 50 to 90 calories across six wings, while sweet BBQ or honey garlic can add 150 or more because it is largely sugar.

FAQs
Frequently asked
Are boneless wings lighter?
No, they are usually heavier. Boneless wings are breaded chicken pieces, so you get more breading and more actual meat per piece. Six boneless typically beat six bone-in by 100-200 calories.
