  • Boneless
  • Something Different

I find myself while on vacation trying to search out good wing places. We really don't have any great ones where we live. I prefer a breaded wing so the great sauce flavor is absorbed. Sauce usually runs off naked wings. My wife likes the boneless ones since they are easier to eat.

We found Hurricane Wings while in South Florida in May, while they were good, they were naked and sauced :(. I grew up in Southern Ontario where we had the Incredible Wing Ding (now WingsUp) and they were exactly what I like, coated and then dipped in sauce. KFC has coated and dipped wings that are just average but will do in a pinch.

I found myself having to coat my own and making them but finding a great sauce isn't always easy (Favorite so far is Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce). I find many BBQ sauces to be too thick and goopy to be good on wings.

I too prefer them breaded . . . lightly sauced however. I don't like them swimming in the goo.

Nickel City Cafe in Buffalo for the best (and probably "original" Buffalo wings).

Others I like . . . Ground Round used to have great wings but we don't have that chain here in Milwaukee any more . . . or BW3's (with literally a dozen or more sauce choices). WORST by far . . . Hooters!!!
 
I vote for naked and sauced. I want the meat and not all the extra bread. I also like them extra spicy.:)
 
other

I like mine baked for 3 to 4 hrs in sauce at low temperature. I usually use lawyry's and tabasco. Cover wings completely and let go. They fall off the bone and are so good. A few less calories than fried too.
 
make mine really naked

No skin,no bone,no fat.Chicken wings must be one of the worst things to eat.Can't see why chicken wings with all the waste sometimes cost as much as breast meat.Save my bad food for potato chips or steak. No chicken wings for me.
 
Bad Nutrition For Sure. Some Other Stuff Is Even Worse.

Try deep-fried turkey tails.

Those are popular on Guam, I hear.

Go figure.

A little tip for those that like to do their own, marinate them at least 24 hours in plain yogurt combined with your favourite seasonings and then bake or deep fry and finish to taste.
 
Naked and sauced.

Actually, I rub mine with cajun seasoning and grill them over a medium open flame until done. Then I brush on some bbq sauce mixed with sriracha (Asian chili sauce), almost a 50/50 mix. A little sweet and alot spicy. Just don't burn the sauce.

I'm also not into wings, I prefer to grill thighs. I have had chicken feet before. Once was enuf.
 
In Buffalo...

...the traditional place is The Anchor Bar, the supposed home of the Buffalo wings. Tourists from far and wide come to this spot in downtown Buffalo. But a lot of people in Buffalo says Duff's wings are the best.

BTW, deep fried and then "lathered" in butter and sauce.
 
Breaded...

Breaded, fried, salted and hot right out of the fryer!
 
Not at all.:hysterical:

My daughter and I only eat the white meat -- and we prefer it barbequed, not too spicy, and no skin.
 
I suspect there are as many places that claimed the "original" buffalo wings as there are places that Jimmy Buffett had his cheeseburger in paradise (he claims Tortola). When I had my restaurant we served a prepackaged product called "wing zings" from restaurant depot. Wings are generally a huge money maker when you buy them in volume raw and fry away and splash some hotsauce on them, we broke even on ours, but they were fantastic. Big, breaded and spiced wings, deep fried until crisp, finest kind.
 
Deep fried, naked, with Franks Red Hot -- just the regular, not the wing sauce, (and maybe some cayenne and white pepper added to the Franks).

Yeah! Duff's on Sheridan Drive near SUNY North Campus. Haven't been there for almost twenty years and have a huge craving for them.
 
One of my favorite foods. The hotter the better. Unfortunately most places use the standard sauce of butter and Red Hot and just add Tabasco to make it hotter. I like a sauce with more heat and more flavor. I like places that put a little more effort into the sauce.

I make all sorts of different sauces at home. One of my favorites is a Jalapeno-Chipotle I make with fresh jalapenos and three different types of ground chili's.

There is a place in the Poconos that makes one of the best wings I have had in a restaurant. The Big A Grillhouse makes a Raspberry-Habanero sauce that is unlike anything else I've had. It starts with a sweet flavor and then a blast of flavorfull heat. Its extemely hot, but very good.
 
I like the sauces hot but not too hot. The Franks Red Hot Buffalo sause is boardering on too hot. I have used the Pilgrim's Farms Blazin Wings (spicy coating, no sauce) from Walmart and then tossed them in the Franks Red Hot sauce. This is very very hot by my taste and my wife can eat maybe one before she has to quit.
 
Our whole family agrees--Hooters, drums only with medium sauce. Many times I get an order to go--at least a batch of 50 and reheat on my stone. Taste just like they came out of the hopper.

Don'cha know I like my Chicken Fried? Listen to the Zac Brown Band sing and I guarantee you'll be a believer too!
