People really love their Wendy's chicken nuggets, and Wendy's knows it, because it's been releasing variations on them recently, including a selection of brand new, spicy varieties earlier this year. One of the newer options in Wendy's nugget situation, however, involves a different kind of tweak, and that's the portion size. Because not only can you get a regular order of four, six, ten, or even twenty nuggets, but you can also get what's called a Party Pack, which contains, get this: 50 whole nuggets.

A party pack is right because 50 nuggets is actually a lot of nuggets, although I know a few people who could probably go down an entire bucket in a matter of minutes. But if you're hosting a football season party and want cheap finger food, a few buckets of 50 can easily feed a hungry group, especially if you throw in a couple of big portions of chips.
How much does Wendy's Nugget Party Pack cost
A Nugget Party Pack from Wendy's typically costs around $15 per order, but that price can vary from location to location (my Wendy's location in Chicago sells the bucket for $20). For about $0.30 per chicken nugget, that's a pretty good deal, especially if there are a lot of hungry people involved. Some Wendy's used to stock paper buckets for their Party Pack packaging, reminiscent of a bucket of bone-in fried chicken, but if you order one now, you'll get it in a plastic tray instead.

And yes, you can also order the spicy version of Wendy's Chicken Nuggets in the Party Pack, which is sure to please the spice-craving among us. Wendy's, as you know, has embraced the spicy food trend with open arms, so you can even get your nuggets with a peppery kick if you want. Combine that with Wendy's Ghost Pepper Ranch and you've got some serious heat (I have first-hand experience with this) that can be pretty fun for a group meal.
More likely, though, you'll be feeding a whole family with that many nuggets at once, and for about $15, that's not bad either. Next time you're feeding a crowd, you can skip the 20-piece portion and get a whole bucket of 50 nuggets from Wendy's, all for a pretty good price.
