Anchor Bar is good. I like Duff's chicken wings better. However, in this area (Western New York), a lot of places without the "name" of those two restaurants serve great chicken wings. It's a matter of preference and almost a must to be competitive.

In my recipe, I'm proposing a very light breading, in a classic attempt to retain all possible moisture within the thin layer of meat on any wing, a dryness not redeemed by any amount of dipping in sauce, be it fiery or tame. Then there's the crispy, spicy exterior, about the best reasson for frying chicken, anyway.

Ike's Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings (world's best)^^^^^
Fresh natural chicken wings marinated in fish sauce, garlic and sugar, deep fried, tossed in caramelized Phu Quoc fish sauce and garlic and served with Vietnamese table salad. Our daytime grill cook Ich Truong’s recipe from his home in Vietnam.

In the Phoenix Area I like Long Wongs. They have locations in Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale etc. and are very hole-in-the-wall style:

In Cleveland I went here once and really liked it. The one downtown had a 45 cent wing night that was quite fun to expense:

as a guy born in buffalo, wings are only good in buffalo. anyone who says that the best is somewhere other than duffs or anchor bar, has not had them at duffs or anchor bar.
also, if you end up in buffalo's airport, and have the wings at the anchorbar in the airport, please note those wings are not representative of the area.
Shangri-la, thanks for representing WNY in your earlier post. :-)
