Actually, just counting cost (not labor), homemade wings are probably cheaper.

I pay between $15 and $19 for the bags of frozen wings, and there are around 60+ wings in those bags. The sauce ingredients are at most $4 to $5. So, rounding up, I pay at most $25 for 60+ wings. That's 41 cents per wing, and it's probably a little cheaper than that.

But, BWW is convenient and fast.
