The Best Wings Place?

I have just started going to a place called wildwings and omg they have some of the best hot wings I have ever had. I would like to know what is your favorite wings place?

WildWings is in Colorado near Fort Carson they are branching out but I think they are mainly just for colorado at the moment.

If anyone that enjoys wings makes it to NYC with some time to kill, shoot to Westchester. There is a little hole in the wall place called Candlelight Inn, in Scarsdale on Central Ave, 10 or so tables, a bar, no CC's only cash. Amazing wings, best I've ever personally had.

Yup. Great place. Can be a little "rough-around-the-edges", so don't go expecting much. Bikers welcome.

And WildWings - is that akin to the chain "Buffalo WildWings"? If so, it's okay. I wouldn't put it up there next to Anchor Bar or even Candlelight.

I think the OP is talking about a different chain, called Wild Wings n' Things. I've never actually had their wings but their sandwiches are pretty good and they have some very good fries.

At home....

Disjoint segments, discarding tips.
Brine in salt water overnight (in ref)
Drop in a marinade of butter milk and cheap hot sauce for at least two hours.
Put a mixture of flour, garlic powder and Caceres Cajun Seasoning in a brown paper bag.
Drop in a few wings, shake then...
Fry in a cast iron skillet in 1" of good vegetable oil at 350F, turning often until golden brown.
Better'n store-boughts.
(And works well for drum sticks which are cheaper and meatier, and chicken tender "strips" which fry very quickly)

The standard blue cheese dressings OK, but we prefer a thick Raeta made with finely chopped cucumber.

There Is No "Best" Wings Place

It's a subjective judgment. Different people like different things. That's why there's a "YMMV" acronym.

There is no "best" wings place any more than there's a single "best" for any food or drink.

What you want to ask or answer is "who do you think makes good/great wings?"

You had me until the part about the flour. No wing should ever have a flour coating. But, clearly, YMMV.

We recently (finally!) went to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. The wings were fantastic.
