I am a wing snob. There, I admit it. Most are just OK rising to the level of good on a few occasions. However, there is a seafood place on Amelia Island FL called Sliders that tops them all! They have the seasoning fried into the batter and are not drowned in sauce. Where do you go for wings?

drowned in sauce is much better, there is a bar local to us, called sportsman's tavern...when the right cook is in, they can't be beat. the problem is the last few years have been hit and miss as business is dropping. their location, about 5 miles from the nearest town and 10 in the other direction, is the problem.

we have wings from a bar at least once week...depending on what flavor we want decides what bar.
 
There is a restaurant chain called Zebb's Grill & Bar here in Upstate NY.
Their "Zebb's Original" wings are the BEST wings on the planet - ever. :D
 
Lots of good wing places around here. Fat Jacks is one that comes to mind.
 
If you can get Texas Pete Hot Sauce (large bottle), they have a recipe on the label.Just follow directions.Delicious.
 
Sit-in Bull painted post ny. They without doubt are the best wings in the country. I have had wings all over this land and nothing comes close to the bulls!!!!
 
A new 'Buffalo Brothers' restaurant is close to opening about 8 miles from me. I've been to one of their restaurants before and their wings were great.
Will not do my diet ANY good!
 
Local bar about 10 miles from home has great wings, about 13 different varieties. Thursday nite is wing nite. Might have to go this week.
 
In central Florida I like Beef O'Brady's nuclears, (but I like them very hot.) In upstate NY the Fairport Village Inn in Fairport, NY has very good wings.
 
Duh!

Here of course:

True story: Whilst attending NCAA hoops first round games with the Terrapins a few years ago, friends and I were approached by a local teevee crew that wanted to follow us on the "off" day. The obligatory stops (e.g. Niagara Falls) were followed by a pitstop at the Anchor. Whilst eating the reporter asked one of our number what he thought about the food. He replied: "I love these Buffalo Wings." The reporter interjected: "Ahhhhhhh, we call them wings." :D

Very tasty, indeed, except for the "Suicidal" version; it defys description.

Oh, yes; they were washed down with multiple bottles of "Blue."

Be safe.
 
You may safely predict that the best wings (they are called wings, because only those who are not from the motherland need to note the geography) are going to be north of I90, east of Lake Erie, and west of I87. The temperature of the oil is critical - if it is not hot enough, the wings are greasy. Bad stuff. The dressing has to be Blue Cheese; the filth who inflict Ranch on wing eaters should be beaten, and should those who batter the wings. You want fried chicken, go to a place that does fried chicken, which is probably well south of I70 and east of the Mississippi.

Well said.
 
I am not a wing snob. I like good chicken wings any way you can fix them. Batter or not, fine, hot or not, fine, BBQ sauce or ranch, fine, Lemon pepper or garlic, fine. Just don't give me a pile of breast pieces and tell me they're "boneless wings". I'm not stupid and obviously a lot of folks are.

done that...it'll do in a pinch...a good wing sauce does not include texas pete. it is made from scratch.

Beef O Brady's wings are so small and overpriced.

There is a local joint near me called "the stadium" that has great wings. Big, not over battered, good buffalo sauce flavor, hot, but not ridiculously hot.

As far as "chain" places, this Florida chain called Callico Jacks has a pretty good wing too.

Hooters - blah, too greasy
Buffalo Wild Wings - ok, but overpriced
Wing House - dont like the sauce, inconsistent quality
 
Around Central Texas there is a small chain called Pluckers! Multiple sauces and rubs to pick from, nice sized wings, and very reasonably priced. Local AHL hockey team hands out 5 free wing coupons every time the first power play goal is scored in a game so we go all of the time. I highly recommend Pluckers if you ever visit the Austin / Dallas area. I think they even have a couple of locations in Louisiana now as well.
 
I take a ride at least once a week for hot wings at the Wagon Wheel in Quakertown , PA.


I did get a nice deep fryer for home so I can make my own. Use fresh wings. Season them before frying , fry till skin crisp , dip in sauce , remove and allow to cool slightly , then eat. Make my own sauce. Simply mix 1/2 Sweet Baby Rays Original and 1/2 Franks or Cholula hot sauce.
