What the difference means for an order

The spread between Cajun and Mild is 30 calories per wing. Across 10 wings that is 300 calories, or roughly a small side order of fries.

For most people the order size, the fries and the dips change a meal's calories far more than the flavor does.

Why small calorie gaps rarely matter

The calorie difference between flavors is small per wing, so portion size and sides matter far more than flavor for your total. Choose the flavor you will enjoy and control the rest of the order.
