Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings Menu Ranked: How Did We Order the List?
This frankies new york buffalo wings menu ranked list is an editorial ranking, not a hands-on review. We ordered the 15 listed flavors by how often write ups name them, how distinct each flavor is, and how well each one works as a shared order for a group, with crowd pleasing, bold flavors on top and quiet, one note flavors at the bottom.
Three things to know before you trust any ranking, including this one. First, Frankie’s listings split wing prices into Basic and Premium tiers, but no listing found gives a verified flavor by flavor tier list, so a flavor’s rank here says nothing about its tier or its price. Second, heat matters: Classic Buffalo comes with heat levels for different tastes, so it can suit a mild eater and a spice lover at the same table. Third, your own top three will differ, and that’s fine. Use this list to narrow 15 flavors down to two or three for your first order, then shuffle it to your taste.
Wing prices stay the same across flavors in the listings found. A half dozen Regular is listed at ₱319 Basic and ₱352 Premium, and a dozen Regular at ₱591 Basic and ₱669 Premium, while Junior runs lower at every step. That means ranking by flavor costs you nothing extra: pick the flavor you actually want, not the one you think is cheaper.
| Wing order | Basic | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Half dozen, Regular | ₱319 | ₱352 |
| Half dozen, Junior | ₱250 | ₱280 |
| One dozen, Regular | ₱591 | ₱669 |
| One dozen, Junior | ₱469 | ₱513 |
| Wings World, Regular, Premium only | ₱662 | |
| Wings World, Junior, Premium only | ₱504 |
Which Frankie’s Wings Rank Lowest on Our List?
Ranks 15 to 11 are the quiet end of the menu: flavors that taste fine but don’t give you a reason to pick them over the bolder names above them. If you like mild, dry, or simple seasoning, these are actually your safest picks, and there’s no shame in ordering from the bottom of a ranking.
| Rank (worst to best) | Flavor | Why it sits here |
|---|---|---|
| 15 | Salt and Pepper | Simple and dry, the plainest profile on the menu |
| 14 | Lemon Pepper | Bright but light, easily lost beside saucier flavors |
| 13 | Osaka Toriniku | Niche Japanese style pick, less familiar to most tables |
| 12 | Nagoya Tebasaki | Sweet and savoury, but a narrow, acquired taste |
| 11 | Cheesy Bacon | Rich and fun, but heavy fast and hard to eat in quantity |
The Bottom Three Flavors
Salt and Pepper lands last because it asks the chicken to do all the work with almost no sauce character, and Lemon Pepper sits just above it for the same reason: pleasant, citrusy, but thin next to a glazed or coated wing. Osaka Toriniku rounds out the bottom three as the wildcard. It’s worth one order if you like Japanese style flavors, but it won’t win over a mixed group the way the top flavors do. If you’re watching the budget while you browse, the Frankie’s cheapest items guide shows the lowest cost way to try any of these.
Which Frankie’s Wings Sit in the Middle of the Ranking?
Ranks 10 to 4 are the solid middle: flavors most people enjoy, none of them a bad order, and the right place to look if the top three feel too obvious. This is also where a group order gets interesting, since two middle ranked flavors side by side beat one safe pick on its own.
| Rank (worst to best) | Flavor | Why it sits here |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Hickory BBQ | Smoky and steady, a touch less punchy than Smokey BBQ |
| 9 | Honey Mustard | Sweet and tangy, a crowd pleaser that leans mild |
| 8 | Caribbean Jerk | Warm spice and tang, a write up favourite for variety |
| 7 | Honey Sriracha | Sweet heat with a kick, best for spice tolerant tables |
| 6 | Korean | Sticky, sweet, and savoury, a strong sharing pick |
| 5 | Honey Garlic | Sweet, garlicky, and easy to love at any table |
| 4 | Smokey BBQ | Smoky, sweet, and bold, just short of the top three |
The Flavors That Split the Table
Honey Garlic and Smokey BBQ are the middle’s safest bets: sweet enough for kids and cautious eaters, bold enough that wing lovers won’t get bored. Korean and Honey Sriracha split tables more sharply, since their sweetness and heat divide people fast, so order them as a second flavor, not the only one. Caribbean Jerk is the sleeper here, with warm spice that reviewers single out when they want something different from the usual buffalo and barbecue pair.
Which Frankie’s Wings Rank Highest on Our List?
Ranks 3 to 1 are the flavors write ups name again and again, and the ones we’d tell a first timer to order without hesitation. If you only ever try three Frankie’s flavors, make it these three, in this order.
| Rank (worst to best) | Flavor | Why it sits here |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Salted Egg | Rich, powder coated, and the regulars’ favourite |
| 2 | Garlic Parmesan | Savoury, cheesy, and the easiest crowd pleaser |
| 1 | Classic Buffalo | The house standard, with heat levels for every taste |
The Top Three Flavors
Classic Buffalo wins because it’s the flavor the whole chain is built around: tangy, hot, and adjustable, so it works as a solo order and as the anchor of a group box. Garlic Parmesan takes second as the no regret pick for mixed groups, since even people who avoid spice tend to like it. Salted Egg takes third for pure indulgence, a crisp, rich coating that regulars name first in write ups, though it’s heavier than the other two, so pair it with a lighter second flavor.
