Red Robin Party Wings Basket: Flavors, Price, Calories and Copycat Recipe
By Red Robin Menu USA | Updated September 2026
Got a crowd to feed? A big basket of wings and a pile of hot chips is hard to beat. Here is how to build the Red Robin party wings basket, what it costs, how it tastes, and how to make it at home.
What Is the Red Robin Party Wings Basket?
Red Robin does not sell wings in tiny portions. Every order comes on a bed of crisp Yukon Chips with a side of dipping sauce. That makes wings a natural pick for game night, birthdays, and family dinners.
When people say "party wings basket," they mean a shareable wing spread. You can build one in three ways at Red Robin:
- Saucy Bone-In Wings: eight meaty wings tossed in your choice of sauce. Order two or three baskets for a table.
- Boneless Chicken Bites: fourteen white-meat bites, tossed in the same sauces.
- Gourmet Wing & Sauce Bar: about 5 pounds of bone-in wings with a sauce bar. Red Robin offers it through its family meal and catering menu.
I will cover all three below. You can also see every option on our Red Robin chicken wings menu.
Wing Flavors You Can Choose
Flavors change by location, so check your local Red Robin before you order. Here is the current lineup I found on the official wings menu:
- Mike's Hot Honey: sweet heat, topped with red pepper flakes. This one is new.
- Scorpion Saucy: fiery heat with a sweet, fruity finish. It is the hottest wing on the menu.
- Scorpion Dry Rub: sweet heat with a spicy kick and no wet sauce.
- Garlic Parmesan: melted garlic spread and grated Parmesan. A mild, cheesy pick.
- Sea Salt & Pepper: plain, crisp, and simple.
- Buzz: the famous Buffalo-style sauce with tangy heat.
- Whiskey River® BBQ: smoky, sweet, and sticky.
- Teriyaki: savory and sweet, and easy for kids and picky eaters.
- Heat Meets Sweet: a balanced sauce with a little kick.
Feeding a mixed group? Pick one hot flavor, one mild flavor, and one sweet flavor. Everyone finds something they like.
Red Robin Party Wings Basket Price
Prices depend on your city and how you order. Delivery prices are often higher than in-store prices. As of mid-2026, one Columbus, Ohio delivery menu listed Boneless Chicken Bites from $17.09. The wing category there topped out at $71.99 for the largest group item.
You can also add wings to a bundle. The Red Robin family menu lets you add family-sized wings, drinks, or cookies to burger and pizza bundles.
Taste Review: How Do the Wings Really Taste?
I judge wings on four things: crunch, meat, sauce, and the sides. Here is how the Red Robin basket scores.
Crunch
The wings are fried and made to order. The skin comes out golden and crisp, and the inside stays juicy. Wet sauces soften the skin a little if the basket sits for a while, so eat fast.
Meat
The wings are meaty. You get both flats and drumettes, and the meat pulls off the bone with no fuss. The boneless bites use white meat, so they taste milder and a bit drier than bone-in wings.
Sauce
Buzz is tangy with a steady burn. Whiskey River BBQ is thick and sweet with a smoky finish. Garlic Parmesan is rich and buttery. Scorpion Saucy is the real deal. The heat hits first, then a fruity sweetness rolls in. Grab a drink if you order it.
Chips
The Yukon Chips are thick, wavy, and dusted with Red Robin Seasoning. They soak up sauce well, and they work as a cool-down between hot wings.
What we like
- Big portions for sharing
- Many flavors for every heat level
- Crisp, meaty wings
- Free-refill chips on the side
What we don't
- Wet sauces can soften the skin
- Scorpion is very hot
- High sodium
- Flavors vary by location
Best Extras to Add to Your Basket
Wings are better with the right sidekicks. These add-ons make the basket feel like a full party.
- Dips: Ranch cools the heat. Bleu cheese suits Buzz wings. Smoke & Pepper Ketchup and Honey Mustard Poppyseed are good for chips.
- Malt vinegar: a splash on the Yukon Chips adds a sharp tang.
- Appetizers: Pretzel Bites, onion rings, and more are on the Red Robin appetizer menu.
- A burger for the table: Wings and a burger make a full meal. Browse the Red Robin gourmet burgers to find one.
- Bottomless drinks: Lemonades, Gold Peak Tea, and Raspberry Cream Soda help calm spicy sauces. See the drinks menu for all choices.
- A shake for dessert: A thick shake ends the night well. Try one from the milkshakes menu.

Calories and Nutrition
Calories change with the sauce, the wing count, and the sides. Red Robin does not publish one number for a "party basket," so the best way to know is to use the official nutrition calculator on the Red Robin website.
Here is what I can say with confidence:
- Fried wings and chips are a heavy meal. The chips add calories on their own, and refills add more.
- Wet sauces add sugar and sodium. Dry rubs and Sea Salt & Pepper add less.
- One third-party listing put a saucy wing order at about 3,300 mg of sodium. That is around 143% of the daily limit. Treat that as a rough guide, not an official number.
- The wings contain wheat, gluten, and soy. They are not gluten-free, and cross-contact with other allergens is possible.
- For scale, the highest-calorie item tracked on the menu is the Two For You Combo at 1,740 calories.
Want to lighten the meal? Share one basket between more people, skip the extra chip refills, and pair the wings with a salad. You can ask for sauce on the side too. If you have a food allergy, always confirm with your server.
Is the Party Wings Basket Worth Ordering?
Yes, for groups. The wings are meaty, the flavors are wide, and the chips keep the table busy. You get more value when you share, and you can please heat lovers and mild eaters in one order.
Maybe not, for one person. A single basket with chips is a big, salty meal. If you eat alone, a burger or wrap may fit better.
My advice: order two flavors, one hot and one mild, add a dip, and get bottomless drinks. That mix gets the most from your money.
Copycat Red Robin Party Wings Basket Recipe
You can make a close version at home. This recipe gives you crisp wings, three sauces, and seasoned chips. It is not the official Red Robin recipe. It is my home version, built to match the taste.
Ingredients for the wings
- 3 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Vegetable oil for frying (about 6 cups)
Ingredients for Buzz-style sauce
- 1/2 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Ingredients for BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup smoky BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Ingredients for Garlic Parmesan sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Ingredients for the chips
- 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Step-by-step instructions
- Dry the wings. Pat every wing dry with paper towels. Dry skin gets crisp. Wet skin steams.
- Season them. Mix the cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large bowl. Add the wings and toss until coated.
- Rest the wings. Place them on a rack and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps the coating stick.
- Heat the oil. Fill a heavy pot with 3 inches of oil. Heat it to 375°F. Use a thermometer.
- Fry the wings. Fry in small batches for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn them once. They are done when golden and the meat reaches at least 165°F inside.
- Drain. Move the wings to a wire rack. Do not use paper towels, because they trap steam.
- Make the sauces. Whisk each sauce in its own bowl. Warm the butter-based ones for 20 seconds in the microwave if needed.
- Toss the wings. Put a third of the wings in each sauce and toss until coated. Serve right away.
- Fry the chips. Rinse the potato slices, then dry them well. Fry at 350°F for 4 to 5 minutes until golden.
- Season and serve. Mix the seasoning and sprinkle it on hot chips. Pile them in a basket and set the wings on top.
Tips for the best result
- Do not crowd the pot. Too many wings drop the oil temperature.
- Sauce the wings last. Wet sauce softens the crust fast.
- Serve with ranch, bleu cheese, celery, and carrot sticks.
- Wings keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in an air fryer at 375°F for 6 minutes.
Tips for Ordering Like a Pro
- Order Scorpion sauce on the side if you are unsure about the heat.
- Eat wings within 15 minutes for the best crunch, especially takeout.
- Ask about flavors at your location, since they can differ.
- Use the Red Robin app to check deals before you pay.
- Tell your server about any allergy before you order.
