Hot n Ready isn't just for pizza anymore. Little Caesar's now offers wings in eight different varieties. And they're available just as easily as walking in, forking over $5 (Now $6) and walking out. Just like their pizza. I personally like Little Caesar's Pizza. It's not just convenient...it's actually good. And what a value at $5 each. You can't beat that. Good, Fast AND Cheap is an unbelievably rare thing in this world...particularly in food service. The question becomes...can Caesar Wings maintain the triad set forth by the pizza????
The wings at Little Caesar's are, in fact, hot and ready. They're prepared ahead of time and kept hot right along side the pizzas in little plastic bowls with lids. When you order you'll get your choice of at least 8 different varieties. There are eight options listed...but when I asked for "Buffalo" I was asked if I wanted that buffalo hot or regular. So, it looks like there are two varieties of Buffalo Sauce available. Either that, or there was a serious possibility that the girl simply had no idea what she was talking about. I opted for the "hot" buffalo. 
The wings are then removed from the glass heating case, your choice of sauce is added to the plastic bowl and then tossed in sauce. I also learned from my quick interaction at the counter that all of the wings start out as "Oven Roasted," one of the eight varieties. Looks like oven roasted is a mixture of simple spices. And that also points out another very important point. Caesar Wings are baked...not fried. Like so many other pizza places that add wings to the menu...Little Caesar's is baking the wings in the same oven as their pizzas. A money saving measure for the restaurant...but not the ideal way to cook up crispy wings!
The wings were small. The wings were soggy...but thankfully not slimy. The "hot" buffalo sauce was not spicy at all. The sauce was also pretty thin and runny. It didn't cling well to the wings and puddled in the bottom of the container.
The upside is limited. The meat was tender and juicy, there's just not much of it. And, of course, the convenience factor.
Still...five bucks for eight really small wings just doesn't cut it. Ten wings for five bucks would make more sense.
UPDATE: Little Caesar's is now (as of March 2013) charging 6 bucks per 8 wings. Terrible idea.

Bottom Line: I may try different flavors in the future. But only because of the convenience factor. I'm already there getting a pizza and wings are right there...hot n ready...calling to me. But generally speaking...unless you really need a wing fix...skip the Caesar Wings.
I love Little Caesars wings because they are small. Large wings are from older birds are usually tough and dry. I don't like deep fryed wings because 99 percent of the time they are overcooked and dryed out. I order Little Caesars plain. I love the simple tastey seasoning and the fact that they are tender and moist. Often I get 8 drummets all. typically you get 4 drums and 4 second joint wing. Very filling with a couple of slices of pizza. And the other conmplaint I have with deep fried is most often the old is old and not hot enough and it makes the wings taste terrible. By fast baking you don't have that problem. The wings taste like chicken not rancid grease.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY AGREE! More often than not, fried wings taste horrible! Baked is better hands down. Great job Little Caesars. Do agree there should be 10 per serving though.
ReplyDeleteYou're out of your fucking mind. Stop ordering wings, idiot. You have no idea what you're doing.
Deleteya just had there wings today and love them so much better then bdubs!! and that's saying something lol
ReplyDeleteWell...to each his own. And with all due respect...i think you guys are crazy. Baked is never(rarely) better than fried. And certainly not in the case of Caesars Wings. On top of that, they just upped the price to 6 bucks per order. Not worth it at all!
ReplyDeleteI've been eating these wings for years. I am a wing guy and have tried many. The oven roasted wings are seasoned with garlic and other Greek and Italian spices along with cayenne hot sauce. Dipped in blue cheese, they are incredible. I have met people who don't particularly care for them, but whatever. I also care about my health and i don't eat fried food of any kind unless i fry it myself in extra virgin olive oil.
DeleteTotally agree with "The Wing Review" , fried is ALWAYS better than baked. If you go to Buffalo NY and ask for an order of hot wings they are coming out fried and crisp not soft and baked. These people saying baked is better are out of their minds and have no clue what a good wing actually tastes like.
DeleteIf you want your baked wings to be crispy, ask them to run it through the pizza oven twice. Since we are talking about the Hot and Ready Caesar Wings here, I am not sure if Little Caesars will run them through the oven again for you. But if you go to a pizza place that is also serving wings ask them to run the wings through the oven twice. I do that at Lampost Pizza (Southern Calif).
Deletethey are so small at times i dont even think they are wings. over priced and fried is always better. It detains the natural flavor of the chicken.
DeleteI love the crispiness of fried wings and a lot of people would agree. you can make them better by baking them longer and you should! these wings are way too soft.
ReplyDeleteTHE WINGS AT MY LOCAL CEASERS ARE DISGUSTING ,THE WORST THING IVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE,IT TASTE LIKE FEET MIXED WITH FECIES ,THEY EVEN SMELL DISGUSTING
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is wrong with the Feet and Feces (see spelling) Combo, that is one of the greatest combos EVER man!!! It's almost as good as Pizza and Beer!!!!
DeleteLittle ceasers wings are awesome and the best. Sincerely GOD. Now you wouldn't go against god now would you Mr. pessimistic wing hater reviewer
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try a very spicy chicken wings recipe but I can't really make one. Probably the chili that I've been using or the marinade must have some missing ingredients. I wish pizza apex NC have this chicken wings, I've been dying to test how much spicy food I can eat.
ReplyDeleteOk dude if u want some spicy hot wings here you go. First you buy the wingettes/ drumettes all ingredients in this are found at walmart. When u get home get a gallon ziploc bag out and sprinkle some baking powder in it enough to very mighty coat the amount of wings u r making. While u r doing this start heating the oil to fry them in. Ok after they are lightly coated set them in the freezer for ten minutes laying in a single flat layer. The sauce is made of three different sauces mixed together. In a bowl mix 'Moore's buffalo wing sauce' one full 16oz bottle,"Trappey's Red Devil Cayenne Pepper sauce" 2 tbsp, then "Zaaschla Habanero Extra Hot Salad" 2tbsp of it. If u can't find the cayenne pepper sauce then u can substitute 2tbsp of powdered red cayenne pepper. mix all three ingredients in a skillet on low heat. Fry or bake your wings til thoroughly done. You want them to have a nice crisp to them. If fried, plate them on a paper towel and blot off any excess oil. After that take the wings and put them in the sauce skillet. Toss them around in the sauce til the wings are generously coated. Remove the wings from the skillet and put them on a plate. Serve with celery and carrot sticks, ranch dip, and or blue cheese dressing! If your looking for heat then this is your go to wing recipe! Enjoy!
DeleteLittle Caesars wings are awesome especially the garlic parmesan. mmm good my mouth is watering just thinking about them
ReplyDeletegeez, i hope you're kidding.
Deletei love little caesars wings as well...not a very big fan of fried food. I wish they would bake in spicyness though.
ReplyDeleteI prefer pizza hut or dominos pizza and also papa Johns I rather save my money and cook my own
ReplyDeleteHead to Columbus and have Barley's Smokehouse wings. They're smoked & grilled.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between "hot" and "regular" is either 1 or 2 times the sauce. That's all there is to it, and probably why you had it pooled at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteThese Caesar wings are a hit! I always try to imitate it but I think they really have this secret magic ingredient that makes it different from other wings sold in the market. The oven roasted ones are my family's favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love the Supreme Pizza for $8. I then go to Publix and get their 20 piece naked wings and make my own sauce. Yumo!
ReplyDeleteLittle ceasar's has some of the best wings ever i'm on my way up there on my bike!
ReplyDeleteI tried my first batch of Caesar wings today. I haven't actually eaten a LC pizza in nearly twenty years. For the past few days I'm been pushing away a major craving for wings and pizza, and finally I craved. LC's sounded like a good deal. Hot'n'Ready pizza AND wings? Way to sync things up, random cravings! The pizza was pretty good. For five bucks it certainly fits the bill. However... everything the original reviewer said about LC wings is absolutely correct and I am in total agreement. Worst wings, even considering frozen "store brand" wings, I have ever had with the worst excuse for sauce imaginable. I would have been better off using a ketchup packet. I may order a LC pizza again when the craving and need for convenience arises, but I will never pay for their wings again. *Chris, in Maryland.*
ReplyDeleteHi there—we can see your love for wings and would like to send you some free wings to try! I’d only ask that you share your honest feedback in return, both directly and across your traditional and social media platforms. If that sounds like something you’d be down for, feel free to shoot me an email at jazmine.reed@zenogroup.com.
ReplyDeleteFor people who are wanting 10 wings instead, some restaurants offer a 10 piece for only 99 cents more making them $6.99. =)
ReplyDeleteYou people saying LC wings are the best wings you've ever had, are you smoking crack?? There is no way that these are the best anything, not wings, not value, not taste, nothing!
ReplyDeleteI really wonder what you people like to eat if this slop is considered good food to you. Seriously you need to step your wing game up, this stuff is bottom of the barrel

ReplyDeleteJust tried some bbq ones for the first time tonight and can't even eat more then one the first one tasted like nasty sausage...
ReplyDeleteI love Little Caesar's Garlic Parmesan wings. They started it for me and now I make my own. Thanks Little Caesar. I agree, the price is a bit much for 6 little wings.
ReplyDeleteDo the wings have bones in them
ReplyDeleteYes. This review is for bone-in wings. Some locations may have boneless nuggets...I'm not sure. But here, we only review traditional bone-in wings.
DeleteSo a lc opened by me last year and I do get the 5 buck carry out pizza, but my store charges 6. I am in new york but not manhattan its the bronx. So I tried the bbq wings today,and gross. First off over priced, for such tiny wings , they were six sumething. Meanwhile the chicken place near me sells four wings(full wings not cut) with fries an a soda for four bucks. The Lc wings were soggy(i asked for extra crispy), they were mad tiny and I didnt care for the bbq sauce they used at all. I will still get the pizza bc its a great value but never again with those wings. And I pissed about that bc I was eager to try all the flavors.
ReplyDeleteLIttle Caesars is a total disappointment in its reinvention as they have removed the subs which I used to love. So, the local NY/NJ pizza jockeys get my business.
ReplyDeleteThey're still $5, as advertised on their commercials and website. Maybe your franchisees are just greedy and overcharging.
ReplyDelete$6 is a little pricey for the wings but it is very hard to pass up on the spicy hot wings. I love them.
ReplyDeleteThe BBQ wings should say "Spicy BBQ" not just BBQ. I knew the buffalo wings came in mild and hot but I was expecting sweet BBQ. I hate spicy food and so does my digestive system. I thought I got the wrong item the first time, now, the 2nd time I stated I think they accidentally gave me spicy buffalo last time and no one said by the BBQ is a spicy BBQ. Little Ceasar'
ReplyDeletes website is very misleading too with "sweet with just the right amount of bite" THat's not a bite, that's outright spicy and lots of peppercorns.
They obviously do not have a sweet BBQ wings recipe. Sad, because I like the size and softness of the wings but I have never had a BBQ sauce that spicy which did not state Spicy.
now I am further upset, wondering if my local Little Caesars is applying the wrong sauce I attempted to find their customer service info - I click on it and nothing happens, further I click their survey and it's not a secure survey so both Google and Bing have warnings. Looks like they do not want to hear from customers at all.
