I like em when their BBQ and slightly spicy...Pizza huts are the best imo. Btw, what the hell are the little chicken wings that look like clubs? They look more like a mini drumstick tbh....
I think they call that the Drumette, and the other part with the 2 bones is the flapper. Pizza hut does decent wings, I like their garlic parmasen wings. Surprised they don't give me chest pains, deep fried wings coated with alfredoy olive oil sauce...
There's a local pizza shop by me that makes some great wings, their sauces are all home made and they use big meaty fresh wings instead of the cheapy frozen kind.
Not a huge fan of the Pizza Hut/ Zaxby's / chain wings, they're not "bad"...just a bit meh.
There is a Chinese place around the corner from where I work that makes fantastic wings with dozens of various glazes and sauces.
I love me some wings. There's a bar where I used to live that makes these dynamite parmasean Guiness wings. So good.
And here there's a place called Hotwings Cafe that's quite excellent.
Semi-related I also love good fried chicken with hot sauce, and Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles is both delicious and probably the worst thing you can eat in terms of cardiovascular health.
Yeah I hate the frozen stuff too. I mean it's not like they're hard to make yourself. Every supermarket I've been to around here sells wings separately where they sell the other chicken. Buy a package, put some salt & pepper on em and bake em for like a half hour. Buy some generic wing sauce where they sell the bbq sauces and stuff, and there ya go. you just made your own buffalo wings.
I hate when places give you celery sticks and bleu cheese dressing with your wings. Just gets thrown out. Why would I want to dip a golden delicious drumette in a cup of mold sauce? yuck.
If I can ever get my lunch truck idea off the ground I'd prolly be doing grilled wings along with kabobs. Just gotta come up with lots of cool sauces besides the basics.
When in Western PA, try Quaker Steak and Lube. You might have seen the place on Man vs. Food.
Last time I was there, the wife and I had the 30,000 Scoville unit variety, their second hottest. They were very hot and definitely painful, but kinda fun. The hottest on the menu clock in at 150,000 Scoville units, which is what the guy on MvF ate. That would be a lot of pain and I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying those.
Yeah I don't get the point of the whole suicide nuclear hot thing.. I think it's just there for drunk guys that think they can do anything, and burning the flesh off the inside of their mouth makes them more of a man. I like the flavor of hot sauce, but not the heat. I guess I'm more a spicy fan than a hot fan. I just don't like the idea of burning the crap outta my mouth so that I can't taste anything for 2 days. That goes for any kinda food, not just wings.
But my bro in law is from Indoesia, he eats almost every meal with super hot chili sauce. Guess in some places you just get used to it over generations of taste bud abuse.
My wife is Korean...she has her limits (150,000 Scoville units comes to mind), but her heat tolerance is pretty high and higher than mine. Which is actually kind of a cool thing to have in a spouse. I can order/prepare my food as hot as I like it and at no point will it ever be too hot for her.
To be honest its hard to get them if you care at least a very little bit about the fate of the chickens, and dont want them to come from inhuman factory farming, but they can be the base for a lot of very tasty meals.
Second the Quaker Steak bump. By far my favorite wings, especially their arizona ranch (basically just ranch + buffalo sauce), but pretty much all their flavors or good, and they don't drown the wings in syrupy thick sauce like Buffalo Wild Wings normally does.
I've done their second hottest (might be third hottest now), and they're pretty darn hot, but not unimaginably so.
Ah wings, I've had quite a few good and bad ones but there's one experience that stands out among the others...
All that needs to be said about that is that no amount of money in the world is worth two dozen habanero laced wings and no amount of alka seltzer can ease the suffering that follows said consumption...
There is this place in Cleveland Called the Reddstone. They have 15cent wings on mondays, these are the best wings, they have a bunch on normal flavors and they have a sauce and also a rub of the month. Their flavors are great and the wings are good sized. Fabulous.
One place that has the best wings I've ever had is KC's Alley in Ambler, PA, just outside Philly.
I've only been there twice, but their wings were just hella good. They're real crispy, but not breaded or anything. The mild sauce they used was more yellow then red and I just can't describe the flavor but it was awesome. The sauce was also just drizzeled over them, instead of totally coated all over and messy. That's one recipe I wish I could steal.
Are buffalo wings the same as chicken wings?
If so, the best chicken wings place I've been to is Buffalo Wild Wings. They have the hottest sauces I've ever tasted and they have free wifi!
I made a hot sauce marinade using the $1.00 louisiana hot sauce from Dollar General...let the wings soak in that for about two hours, then apply it while the wings are on the grill...oh man, I've never heard my friends so quite. We were all too busy eating to talk
Proof that you don't need to buy the expensive stuff

wut
Buffalo Wild Wings are great - I like their second-to-last spiciest wings, the very hottest are just unedible.
Ok, this thread inspired me to grab dinner at bdubs for half-price wings night or whatever it is. Got 6 Wild (second spiciest, pretty tasty) and 6 asian zing (my favorite of theirs). Now I am too full to do all the packing I need to get done by the weekend. Worth it? Probably.

EDIT: spelling
Thats how I do em too! Baste your favorite hot sauce on your wings while they grill and the yummy flavor gets cooked right in.
I wanna make some wings but we're in the middle of a heat wave here an and that means I gotta hide inside like a hermit and order pizza till I can breathe outside again.

Good day fair sirs. And Melissia.
Be quiet, you animal loving hippie.
I'll have you know you spelled a word wrong.
Furthermore, you're an American and I'm going to stereotypicalize you as the uncaring, insensitive, McDonald-lover you are out of sheer boredom.

Vegetarians aren't too bad, vegans however... That's another story.

Wait...I love animals as well, particularly basted in a spicy sauce then grilled.
I do like Hooters wings, not that hot but a good taste if you like the butter based sauces.
I once worked at a sammich shop in Lauderdale and there was a wing place in the same strip mall (cannot recall the name). We used to trade them food. Once we ordered the HOT wings and then let their cook know they were so bland we had to eat them with jalepenos. Honestly they were a little spicy already, but it can be fun to take the wizz outta someone.
He sent over another batch that as soon as they entered our store my eyes started watering. They were almost unedible they were so frickin hot. We told him they were better, but could still use some work. He threatened to kill us at that point...
And as far as meat eating... Well, here is a picture of my smoker in action:
Yes, the is the famous Bacon Explosion in the middle!
A word on "spicy", I'm the first person to grab " Nuclear" heat items...I enjoy real spicy food, but even I met my match in Texas...they had a spot that smothered everything in habanero....habenero sauces, habanero peppers cooked into the meat...
Their "level 1","level 2" and " level 3" were pretty damn good ( though 3 started to get a bit hot)....their "Level 5"...holy hell...my tounge blistered on contact....and I'm used to eating spicy foods.
I'm gonna do up another Bacon Explosion next weekend since I have to drive my son back up to Dahlonega 2 Aug. Kind of a last meal thing. Probably put some chicken legs on too.

I lived with a vegetarian for 10 years though. It wasn't that bad, but she was understanding enough that she'd actually make the rest of us meat dishes all the time.
What are your takes on boneless wings? I myself consider them to be nancy little glorified chicken nuggets, but a number of my friends seem to prefer them for their ease. Strange, as I'm more prone to shoveling massive quantities of food into my gullet than they, but that's how it falls I guess. Wings just seem more fun when you have to work for them.

without the bone you dont know its a wing.it could be from the.......section.
I hate eating food off the bone and I really hate eating the skin on chicken as its always greasy, limp and chewy so boneless wings for me please. Though I suppose if they are fried it is irrelevant as I can't eat them without vomiting anyway
Its a hamburger drenched in wing sauce and blue cheese dressing.

It depends, are there attractive women that I'd like to lay in the room while I'm eating? If yes, then I prefer my wings boneless and as mess-free as possible... Its amazing how big a dealbreaker a ring of wing sauce around your mouth can be...

I've perfected this because, quite frankly, women come second to wings. Use only three fingers of one hand and wipe after every bite.
May as well go to McDonalds and get your fix there. You can even get a toy. And your choice of dipping sauce in nice neat little containers so you can keep your fingers clean.

Real women hand you a wet wipe or paper towel with sauce stained fingers as they enjoy a pile of real wings along with you.

Burger sounds pretty good, not what I was expecting though, haha.
As to the women, I get what you mean. It's nice when you can find a girl who likes the spicy stuff as much as you do, but make sure you avoid getting sauce or habanero/etc oils on each other's sensitive bits, or one of you is gonna have a bad time.

About that...
And national chicken wing day will be amazing, I've no doubt
