Texas Roadhouse boneless wings are listed on the appetizer menu as Boneless Buffalo Wings at $11.99: breaded, fried chicken pieces tossed in your choice of Mild or Hot buffalo sauce, roughly 760 calories per shareable order, served with dipping sauce.
What boneless wings at Texas Roadhouse actually are
Boneless wings are hand-breaded chunks of boneless chicken breast, fried, then tossed in buffalo sauce and served as a starter for the table. The menu calls them Boneless Buffalo Wings. They are an appetizer, not an entree, so no sides come with them.
Portion counts are not printed on the menu and they are not standardized the way a steak weight is. Expect somewhere around 10 to 14 pieces depending on how the pieces are cut that day, which is why we quote the price and calories rather than a piece count you can hold a server to.

Prices in higher-cost metros (coastal California, the New York area, Hawaii) tend to run above the figures above. Airport and casino locations, where they exist, price independently. The reliable way to check before you go is to pull up your specific store on the official site or app and look at that store’s menu, not a national one.
Calories and nutrition
A full order of boneless wings lands near 760 calories, which covers the whole basket rather than a single piece. Split three ways that’s about 250 calories each, before the dipping sauce. Sauce, sodium and fat figures are not printed on the in-store menu.
Two things push the real number around. First, buffalo sauce is salty, so this is a high-sodium starter no matter which heat level you choose. Second, breaded and fried means the calorie count is mostly crust and oil, not chicken. If you’re counting, the wings are still a better starting point than Cheese Fries at 1,240 or the Cactus Blossom at 2,250.
Anyone tracking macros closely should ask for the printed nutrition sheet at the host stand or check the nutrition PDF on the official site, since recipes and portion specs get revised without much announcement.
Mild vs Hot: picking your sauce
You choose Mild or Hot when you order, and the kitchen tosses the wings in that sauce before they leave the line. Mild is a standard buttery buffalo with almost no burn. Hot has real cayenne heat but is still tame next to a dedicated wing chain’s hottest tier.
If your table is mixed on heat, order Mild and ask for a side cup of the hot sauce. Servers will usually accommodate that, and it lets one person add heat without committing the whole basket. Going the other direction is harder, since you can’t unsauce a wing.
Ask for the sauce on the side entirely if you want the breading to stay crisp on the drive home. Tossed wings soften fast in a takeout container, and this single change makes more difference to a to-go order than anything else you can do.
How to order them so they arrive right
Order the wings when you order drinks, not with your entree. Appetizers fire immediately at Texas Roadhouse, so ordering them alongside a steak often means both hit the table at once and the wings sit while you cut into the beef.
A few requests that generally work:
- Extra crispy — the kitchen can leave them in the fryer slightly longer. Helpful if you find the breading soft.
- Sauce on the side — for takeout, for kids, or if someone at the table is heat-averse.
- Extra ranch or blue cheese — dipping sauces are usually free, though a few stores charge for extra cups.
- Split plates — ask for two small plates upfront; it’s a shared item and servers expect the request.
Remember that the free rolls and honey cinnamon butter come out regardless, and they arrive fast. If you’re pacing a meal, one basket of wings plus rolls is already a lot of bread and fried food before an entree lands.
Are they worth $11.99? Compared to Chicken Critters and the Combo
Boneless wings make sense for a table of two or three that wants something to share with drinks. As a solo appetizer before a steak they’re too much food, and at $11.99 they cost nearly as much as the cheapest chicken entree, which comes with two sides.
The closest comparison is Chicken Critters at $15.99, hand-breaded tenders with your choice of BBQ, honey mustard or ranch. Critters are an entree, so the price includes two free sides and gets you larger pieces of the same basic product without buffalo sauce. If you want the fried-chicken experience as your meal, Critters is the better dollar-per-plate decision. If you want a shareable that hits the table in ten minutes, the wings win.
Against the Combo Appetizer at $12.99 and 920 calories, the combo gives you variety across several starters for a dollar more. Order the combo when your table can’t agree; order the wings when everyone specifically wants buffalo.
The value argument against boneless wings is straightforward: you’re paying steakhouse appetizer pricing for breaded chicken breast pieces. The argument for them is that they show up hot, they’re easy to share, and buffalo sauce is not otherwise represented on this menu.
Boneless wings are not really wings
Boneless wings anywhere, including here, are cut from chicken breast, not from the wing. The name describes the sauce and format, not the anatomy. If you came looking for traditional bone-in buffalo wings, Texas Roadhouse does not carry them on the standard national menu.
That matters for two groups. People who want the bone-in texture won’t find a substitute here. People who dislike picking at bones will find these easier to eat than actual wings, which is most of why the format exists. Neither group is wrong; just know what’s arriving.
What we can’t confirm
This is an independent guide, not the restaurant. We publish what we can verify from location menus and label the rest honestly.
- Piece count is not printed anywhere official. Our ~10-14 range comes from customer reports and is not a promise.
- Availability varies. Some locations run a slightly different starter lineup, and a store can drop or rename an item without notice. Call ahead if the wings are the reason you’re going.
- Price is store-set within a corporate range. Regional variance of 10-15% is normal, and franchise and international locations can differ further.
- Full nutrition beyond the calorie figure is not on the in-store menu. Sodium in particular is worth asking about if it matters to you.
- Sauce heat levels are subjective and can differ batch to batch. Mild and Hot are the standard two options, but a few stores stock additional sauces.
To confirm anything on this page for your specific restaurant, look up your store on the official Texas Roadhouse site or app, or call the location directly. Menus change faster than any third-party guide can track.

How many boneless wings come in an order?
The piece count is not printed on the menu. Customer reports typically put a full order somewhere around 10 to 14 pieces, but sizes vary by how the chicken is portioned, so treat that as a rough expectation rather than a guarantee.
How many calories are in Texas Roadhouse boneless wings?

What sauces can you get boneless wings in?
Mild or Hot buffalo, chosen when you order and tossed on before serving. Ask for sauce on the side if you want crisper breading or a mixed-heat table. Ranch or blue cheese for dipping is normally included.
Do boneless wings come with sides?
No. They’re an appetizer, so the two free sides that come with entrees don’t apply. You do still get the free rolls and honey cinnamon butter that arrive at every dine-in table.
Are Texas Roadhouse boneless wings actually wings?
No. Like boneless wings everywhere, they’re cut from chicken breast and breaded, then sauced. Texas Roadhouse does not carry traditional bone-in buffalo wings on the standard national menu.
Are boneless wings or Chicken Critters the better order?
Chicken Critters at $15.99 is an entree and includes two sides, so it’s better value as a meal. Boneless wings at $11.99 are the better pick when you want something buffalo-sauced to share before dinner.
