Pickles are moving beyond the side of the plate at Buffalo Wild Wings. Starting November 10, the chain is putting the flavor on wings, in a fried appetizer and even in a margarita.
The limited-time lineup includes a new Pickle Sauce, hand-battered Pickle Chips, and a $6 Pickle Margarita. A separate $17.99 online-exclusive bundle pairs pickle-sauced wings with fries and dips.
Announced November 9, the promotion arrives ahead of National Pickle Day on November 14. It will be available at participating locations, with menu items subject to local availability.
For diners, the choices come down to where they want the pickle flavor: coating the wings, beneath a fried batter, or mixed into a cocktail. The bundle adds another option, though it doesn’t include the entire new lineup.
Pickle Becomes the Wing Sauce
In its official announcement, Buffalo Wild Wings describes the new sauce as a glaze featuring classic dill pickle flavor.
That puts pickle at the center of the wing order rather than alongside it as a garnish. Customers choosing the new sauce are changing the wings’ flavor, not simply adding a side.
The company is introducing the sauce as part of a temporary promotion. It has not announced a specific end date, so the November 10 launch should not be mistaken for a permanent menu addition.
The new sauce also anchors the online bundle. For anyone drawn primarily to the wings, that package is the part of the promotion to examine before deciding whether to add an appetizer or drink.
The distinction matters because the launch combines several individual offerings under one pickle theme. They share an ingredient, but they are not automatically sold together.
The Pickle Chips Get a Smoky Finish
The Pickle Chips take a different route. Buffalo Wild Wings says the pickle slices are hand-battered, fried, and dusted with smoky chipotle BBQ seasoning.
Here, “chips” refers to the fried pickle slices, not pickle-flavored potato chips. The seasoning is part of their preparation, giving the appetizer a separate identity from the dill-forward wing sauce.
For a table considering both, the difference is straightforward: one order delivers pickle through a glaze, while the other uses pickle slices as the food being battered and fried.
The chips are a separate offering, rather than an included side in the advertised wing bundle. Customers who want them alongside the package should check their selected restaurant’s menu and ordering options.
The appetizer also lets diners try the promotion without changing their wing sauce. That makes it a distinct choice rather than a necessary companion to the new wings.
A $6 Margarita Joins the Lineup.
The pickle theme extends to the bar with a $6 cocktail.
According to the company, the Pickle Margarita combines Lunazul Blanco Tequila, triple sec, pickle juice, and lime sour. It is topped with pickles and served with a Tajín rim.
Pickle juice is therefore part of the drink itself, not just a garnish detail. The cocktail brings the same central ingredient into a different format from either the wings or the fried appetizer.
The $6 figure applies to the margarita alone. It is not the price of a meal or a combination that includes food.
The cocktail is available at participating locations, and menu items may vary. The company notes that advertised prices exclude tax and applicable fees.
What the $17.99 Bundle Actually Includes
The Pickle Menu bundle contains 20 bone-in or boneless wings tossed in Pickle Sauce, a large order of French fries, and four dips.
Those contents and the online ordering restriction are also detailed in Allrecipes’ launch coverage.
The package is available exclusively through Buffalo Wild Wings’ app and website. It should not be presented as a dine-in special available on the same terms through a server.
Despite its name, the bundle is not a sampler of every pickle-themed addition. The company lists wings, fries, and dips as its contents; Pickle Chips and the margarita are not listed as included.
Advertised prices exclude tax and applicable fees, including service fees. Customers should review the final total before completing an order.
That leaves two separate decisions: whether the wing package fits the meal and whether any additional pickle-themed items belong alongside it.
Check the Location Before Ordering
Buffalo Wild Wings’ official menu notes that availability and pricing vary by location.
Selecting the right restaurant matters, especially for the online-exclusive bundle. Check the selected restaurant’s menu before ordering.
The launch gives pickle enthusiasts several ways to enjoy the same flavor without ordering the entire collection. Wings make it the sauce, the chips make it the appetizer, and the margarita takes it into the glass.
If pickle moved from the edge of your plate to the center of your next wing order, which version would you be most curious to try?
