Thinking of having them for dinner. I am looking at their atomic tenders.

For lovers
Get the boneless thighs. Dark meat popcorn chicken is as great as it sounds. Rubs only- their sauces kinda suck. I always go Louisiana/Lemon Pepper.

Also make sure to get some ranch.

The Cajun corn has grown on me if that suits your fancy. That stuff is legit spicy, not mass market spicy. If you get fries get them well done.

Or yeah, listen to everyone else and go local.

The atomic sauce isn't the greatest. Good heat but kind of a dull flavor. I like their mango habanero.

The fries might be the best in fast food.

My go-to is Cajun (bone-in), ordered wet. Instead of ranch, I get the garlic sauce for dipping. Do that if you're cool.

Big thing of mango habanero wings with a side of blue cheese and some parmesan fries.

Don't go boneless. Get half Garlic Parm, half Mango Habanero.

Don't sleep on the fries. They are the best fast food fries in the world.

I pretty much always get the Louisiana Rub. I also take advantage of the option to pay another $0.10/wing to get all flats.

I found their lemon pepper anything to taste like Pledge cleaner so I wouldn't recommend those.

I would suggest the classic bone-in over the tenders. And if you're sticking with Atomic make sure you get Ranch for dipping or some other flavor to combine the Atomic with. Atomic isn't terribly hot but it doesn't really have much flavor outside of the heat. I went with Spicy Q and Atomic when I lived somewhere where Wingstop was one of the only good food options.

The ranch, somehow. I don't know what it is, I don't really like ranch anywhere else, they just have oddly really good ranch. Maybe it just pairs really well with their fries. I definitely don't look at wingstop for heat at all though. Just get some Korean Q or Lemon Pepper and call it.

Are the bone in thighs any good? I don't really know the difference in dark and white meat, but deciding between this and crab legs for dinner lol.

I don't like bone in wings because the effort to reward sucks

Dark meat has more flavor but for me at least they're less convenient to eat than wings.

I don't judge, your money, get what you like. I generally prefer boneless too, more meat per unit. If you're dumping a bunch of sauce on it then the extra meat flavor isn't going to be that big a difference. That said, still getting flats tonight because it's been a bit since I've had a tray full of just flats.

End up getting atomic and original hot just to compare
