Wendy's Chicken Nuggets & Tenders: Sizes, Prices & Party Pack (2026)

How much are Wendy's chicken nuggets?

Wendy's chicken nuggets cost about $2.19 to $2.40 for 4 pieces, $2.99 to $3.49 for 6 and $5.19 to $5.40 for 10. Spicy nuggets cost about the same as crispy ones.

Those ranges are the middle half of Wendy's own pickup prices at the U.S. stores we checked in late October 2026. A 10-piece nugget combo, with small fries and a small drink, cost about $8.69 to $9.29.

Per nugget, the 10-piece is the best regular order at a little over 50 cents each. The 4-piece is better value inside a bundle: it is part of the $6 Biggie Bag and one of the picks in the $4 Biggie Bites. See our Wendy's deals page for how those work, or the main Wendy's menu for everything else.

How many nuggets are in a Wendy's Nuggs Party Pack?

A Wendy's Nuggs Party Pack has about 50 nuggets. Wendy's counts it by weight rather than by piece, so your box may hold a few more or a few less.

You can order it crispy or spicy. In our October 2026 check, 13 of the 23 stores we looked at listed it, at about $17.99 to $21.99, with a median of $19.99. That works out to roughly 36 to 44 cents a nugget, cheaper than five 10-piece orders.

The whole pack has 2,260 calories crispy or 2,340 spicy, and about 123 to 128 grams of protein, so it is meant for sharing. If a store does not list the Party Pack, search for it in the app at a nearby location; it is not sold everywhere. People often call it the Wendy's bucket of nuggets or the 50-piece, but its menu name is Nuggs Party Pack.

What is the difference between Wendy's crispy and spicy nuggets?

Both are all-white-meat chicken nuggets; the spicy version is marinated and breaded with a blend of peppers and spices. That adds a little heat, a few calories and a lot of sodium.

Ten crispy nuggets have 430 calories, 23 grams of protein and 900 mg of sodium. Ten spicy nuggets have 470 calories, 26 grams of protein and 1,190 mg of sodium. Both list wheat as their only major allergen in Wendy's data.

Every order comes with your choice of dipping sauce: Wendy's Signature, Scorchin' Hot, Honey BBQ, Sweet Chili, Creamy Ranch or Honey Mustard, or ketchup. Extra sauces can be added in the app. For kids, the Wendy's Kids' Meal offers 4-piece nuggets, crispy or spicy, or 2-piece tenders.

How much are Wendy's chicken tenders?

Wendy's chicken tenders cost about $5.39 to $5.49 for 3 pieces and $7.19 to $7.29 for 4 pieces. As combos, they cost about $8.89 to $9.59 and $10.79 to $11.29.

Tenders are larger strips of white-meat chicken than nuggets, and they carry far more protein. Three tenders have 420 calories and 33 grams of protein; four have 560 calories and 44 grams. Compare that with 10 nuggets at 430 calories and 23 grams, and tenders are the better pick if protein matters to you.

They use the same dipping sauces as the nuggets. Wendy's ingredient statement notes that tenders are cooked in the same oil as items containing wheat, milk and fish.

Does Wendy's still have Saucy Nuggs?

No. Saucy Nuggs, which Wendy's launched in June 2024 in flavors such as Garlic Parm, Buffalo and Spicy Ghost Pepper, were not on any of the 23 Wendy's menus we checked in October 2026.

You can still get close by ordering regular or spicy nuggets with extra dipping sauces, though they come on the side rather than tossed. Wendy's Rewards can make that cheaper: 4-piece nuggets cost 200 points, 6-piece 350 and 10-piece 600, and new members get an app offer for 10-piece nuggets with a purchase.
