r/Wings

I like the dip with the pickled corn best, still waiting to hear from my test subject neighbors

Had the buffalo wings with a side of blue cheese 10/10

Wing nights are Sunday and Thursday. I expected it to be special. It was not. They were meh. 3 varieties- mild which was just bland, garlic which was oily, bbq which was nothing special. I’d rather get from the Pinewood Deli or da’s.

Any guesses where ? $0.50 each. They were excellent. Kens surprised me though. Ha.

I tried Bar-Bill east aurora and it was too busy. Ha.

Then tried Nine-Eleven, but found a sign on the door, Closed until next week.

Then my my buddy took me here and saved the night. Ha.

This was this past June. How'd I do?? (2/3 were BBQ on the top and 1/3 were Buffalo on the bottom)

Ended up getting full after 9 wings.
My ego is bruised. I feel pathetic.
Of course I took the leftovers home.
Anyway, they were yummy. Next time I order 10 :3

Honey chipotle, garlic parm and lemon pepper wings.

OG Buffalo and plenty of Modelo to wash them down.

Serious contender for best wings in the GTA

7pc all flats 425°F 20min in oven, flipped, 20min more to finish, sauced with Melinda's Ghost Pepper and Kinder's Caramelized Onion Butter rub

I got annoyed seeing $19 for 8 wings at a local bar, so I went down a rabbit hole. No, I did not order them.

Wholesale wing prices have actually come way down from their 2022 peak, but menu prices haven't. I checked 13 bars around Westchester County, NY and found prices ranging from $1.11 to $2.38 per wing. Same county, same basic suppliers, more than a 2x difference between locations. AND some of the best wings I found were also among the cheapest.

I put together the numbers, including wholesale chicken costs, old vs. current menu prices, and what seems to actually drive the price of wings.

Curious what people are paying elsewhere. What's a reasonable price per restaurant wing where you live?

I was pleasantly surprised how good these are. They are very crispy and tender. Could use a little more of the buffalo seasoning and kinda pricy at $6 for 4 wings. But I would definitely get them again.

Ingredients:

* Two tbsps. melted butter

* 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot

* 1/4 cup Captain Clyde's Cannonball Crush hot sauce by Black Eyed Susan Spice Co.

Makes enough sauce for 2-3 lbs of wings.

Cook at 400°F for 40-50 minutes, turning halfway through.

I was immensely satisfied with how these turned out. The acidic tang of the buffalo was complimented nicely by the citrus-y tang of the Cannonball Crush, which also gave it a nice, light burn of ghost pepper afterwards. The wings themselves were very tender, yet crispy at the same time.

Made a trip to Buffalo on the way through from Toronto to a farm stop on our New York-Toronto-New York roadtrip.

Oh my Lord....what astonishingly good wings...medium hot, blue cheese perfection. If only all comfort food could be this good!

Queue was out of the door. When I finally got a table and the wings eventually arrived, I understood! Truly fantastic.

Which number are you guys? 7 is perfect for me! Not to mention I just had some bbq wings earlier!

I never thought of a chicken wing in relation to the human anatomy. Does anyone else have any weird facts or thoughts on wings?
