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.

99c wing nights Tuesday and Thursdays. The wings were super crispy and very saucy, and the buffalo sauce was done right

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

Out of the air fryer.

Hit the East Aurora location on the way back from an upstate NY road trip, easily the best meal on the trip and best wings I’ve ever had. 20 hot and spicy barbecue flats with extra blue cheese and garlic cheese curds. They were perfectly juicy, crispy, and the sauce was so flavorful with just enough heat. 11/10

Had a cheeky kilo of wings burning a hole in the fridge earlier, so would have been rude not to whip up these little beauties. Rubbed with the Whiskey Bent "Bird" and a splash of olive oil, then air fried at 210c for just over 30 mins.

I made a different sauce this time. 40% butter, 40% Crystal, 10% El Yucateco Habanero Salsa, 5% Encona Exxxxxtra hot and 5% Tropical Sun, Scotch Bonnet. Lovely 😍

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

At my off grid cabin for last week and a half. Air dryer wings compliments of my generator while watching the blue jays take on Tampa. Perfect!

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 highly recommend trying Suicide Digger sauce if you like the sweet/spicy taste, it's hot after a few wings and not overpoweringly sweet, overall it's delicious and made wings my favourite food!

I believe it is a mostly available at Canadian/Ontario wing places that usually have 100+ flavors. Some say it is Honey Garlic + Suicide, my wing place (Wing House Express) says it is Knockout + Homicide + Honey Garlic. Very broad flavors imo.

I would love to know how to make this sauce if anyone has any insight? Tried making them at home a few times and have been disappointed.

Tasting the extra sauce I think the base may be Tabasco habanero but not positive on the rest. The Honey Garlic always seems very over-powering when mixing and sticky which the actual sauce is not, it's more vinegary.

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.
