Frequently Asked Questions

Austin Wing Catering, Answered

Everything offices, realtors, and event hosts ask before booking Sabalicious for party-proof wings, dry rub, and frozen packs across Austin, TX.

How many people can Sabalicious cater for?

Sabalicious handles events from small office gatherings under 25 people up to major events of 250+ guests. Standard catering orders come in 150-piece trays with mac & cheese, and larger headcounts can be built out from there — just flag your group size when you request a quote.

How far in advance do I need to book catering?

Orders above 200 wings require at least 48 hours' notice. Smaller orders can often be accommodated closer to your event date, but booking a few days ahead is recommended for weekend events, recurring office catering, or anything with a fixed start time.

Are Sabalicious wings fried?

No — Sabalicious wings are never fried and made with no added oils. The wings are cooked using a method designed to lock in flavor without the grease, and they're finished with the signature Sabalicious 22 Seasoning dry rub or sauced, depending on your order.

What kind of chicken does Sabalicious use?

Sabalicious uses organic chicken for every order. The wings are prepared without frying or added oils, making them a cleaner option for corporate lunches, open houses, and events where guests are paying attention to what they're eating.

Is the dry rub gluten-free?

Yes. The Sabalicious 22 Seasoning dry rub shakers are gluten-free, non-GMO, and contain no MSG. The blend was developed over roughly two decades, combining founder Joe Sabatello's Italian heritage with flavors picked up through his travels, and it's sold separately for home use beyond catering orders.

What's included in a Party-Proof Pack?

The Party-Proof Pack includes wings, sauces, reheating instructions, and a per-person quantity guide so hosts know exactly how much to order. It's built around the Sabalicious Wing Protocol — pick your headcount, pick your heat and flavor, and get a pack sized correctly so no one leaves hungry.

Do the wings still taste good hours after delivery?

Yes — Sabalicious applies what it calls "Flavor Armor," an extra seasoning layer engineered specifically for long hold-time events. This is designed to keep the wings tasting bold hours after delivery, which matters for all-day office events, open houses, or gatherings where food sits out for a while.

Does Sabalicious do recurring office catering, like a weekly "Wing Wednesday"?

Yes. Sabalicious caters recurring team meals for offices and corporate teams, including weekly setups like Wing Wednesday, as well as monthly or quarterly recurring events for businesses, barbershops, salons, and community groups. Frequency options range from one-time events to weekly, monthly, or as-needed quarterly bookings.

Can Sabalicious cater a real estate open house?

Yes. Sabalicious regularly caters realtor open houses in Austin, providing hot, party-proof wings designed to keep buyers browsing a listing longer instead of leaving to grab food elsewhere.

Can I customize a wing order, like all flats or all drumettes?

Standard orders come as a 50/50 mix of flats and drumettes rather than all one or the other, and orders don't include separate side dishes or sauce served on the side by default — Sabalicious specializes in wings, not a full buffet line. By-the-pound orders and other special requests can be accommodated with advance notice through the special order inquiry form.

Does Sabalicious sell frozen wings for home use?

Yes. Sabalicious offers frozen wing packs in bundles of three 20-wing packs (60 wings total), along with a chicken thigh option sold in bundles of three 4-piece packs, so customers can keep Sabalicious flavor stocked in their freezer between catering orders.

Where does Sabalicious deliver or cater in Austin?

Sabalicious is based in Austin, TX and serves catering clients throughout the Austin area, including corporate offices, real estate events, community groups, and private parties. Delivery availability for a specific address is confirmed at booking.

Who is behind Sabalicious Wings?

Sabalicious was founded by Joe Sabatello, a veteran and self-described culinary artist who developed the brand's signature seasoning blend over about two decades. Sabalicious is a veteran-owned business and a member of the West Austin Chamber of Commerce.

How do I get a catering quote?

The fastest way is the 4-question quick qualifier on the Sabalicious site — it asks about your group type, headcount, how often you need catering, and your timeline, then builds a Party-Proof Pack recommendation from your answers. You can also request a special order or check availability directly for orders that fall outside the standard menu.
