Iwritecode Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Am I an oddball because I don't eat wings? If I'm eating chicken I'd much rather have leg or a thigh. Or even popcorn chicken or strips. Edited February 18, 2009 by Iwritecode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) love wings.....hooters are great...if anyone is ever in Nashville WingBasket - Kentucky Bourbon wings are certainly the best non-hot sauce wing ive ever had...they make a good garlic parmesan as well....I am going to have to try some of those places you guys recommended...but like many before here have said...hot, mild, breaded, not breaded, sweet, savory...all are pretty good for homemade wings...I wrote about this in the superbowl food thread, but I made some of the wings that Alton Brown did on Good Eats...they were kind of a pain to make as you cook them twice (steam then bake) but definitely healthier than deep frying (and if you don't have a deep fryer like most, probably just as easy as heating some oil on the stove) and they came out just as crispy. EDIT: oh and though I said i am a fan of all types of wings...i actually didnt fall in love with the asian orange glaze sauce Alton made...id stick to his hot sauce instead Edited February 19, 2009 by daa84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, especially when it comes to wings, although I'm fine with bones when it comes to a nice big juicy chicken breast. I'm a big fan of plain boneless wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. I always get a cup of ranch and a cup of Honey BBQ sauce on the side. The reason why I get them plain is because they turn out too soggy for my taste if I order them cooked with a sauce. I perfer having my boneless wings crispy and plain and just dipping them in the ranch or sauce. Also, when it comes to wings with bones in it, I love Hooters' mild wings. They're much more meatier than typical wings you'd get anywhere else, and I also ask for only flappers when I go to Hooters because I'm not a big fan of wings that look like drumsticks. Where else can I go to find big flapper wings similar to Hooters'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 On the menu at Hooters, the Buffalo chicken sandwich with hot or 911 is good. As far as wings go, Wingstop is becoming a quick favorite. They opened up one in Downers and I hit it at least once a week lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people are the opposite, and would rather have all drumettes if the could. I sure make a bead for the drumettes when a big mess of communal wings comes to the table! Rock made me start realy craving wings with this thread, so we went to a new sports bar tonight and I gave their wings a spin. Had 3 different flavors (sesame Asian, garlic honey, and atomic). All were tasty but one were world class. And I laughed at the 'atomic' moniker when I bit into them. Sheesh. . . if you're going to advertise an extreme hot wing, then at least put some effort into it and make it a meal that fights back. Time to mail order some Anchor Bar Suicide Sauce and make some manly hot wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm going for lunch today at my local Pub. They're also our softball sponsor. They do a damn good job with their wings. I was going to be good and get something small, but after reading this thread I'm leaning toward pigging out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was surprised that they were up there. Their wings are good, but they are small. And their hot is not hot. At all. Their cajun wings are pretty good.

Buehrle>Wood Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Friday's have very underrated boneless wings. Well actually they have an all around awesome, underrated menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 anyone in the south suburbs, give mitch's a try on cicero and 140th(around). They are fried wings (which i prefer) and just absolutely nail them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) For wings at home I recommend.... 1. Add a little seasoning before cooking. I use a meat seasoning from a local butchershop, but any seasoning that will add some pepper type spice will work. The seasoning can actually accentuate the sauce and make the sauce better than without. 2. Grill em, fairly slowly. No sauce yet. Rotate for evenness. 3. When the wings are about 75-80% cooked on all sides, add sauce. I recommend tossing them into a bowl of sauce to get complete coverage initially. 4. Continue to grill them. The sauce will likely carmelize some, adding some charring/blackness to the wings. That's good flavor. Don't go pulling them off yet. 5. As you continue to turn them, paint more sauce on them using a basting brush. Allow the sauce to grill into the skin. 6. When the wings are done, they should be fairly crispy and not soaking wet. You will see a little black on them from the carmelization, but they will not taste burnt. Lastly, I highly recomment Ott's Wing Sauce. It has an excellent flavor and isn't too hot, but has a kick. Especially if you baste the wings heavily per above. The seasoning seems to activate a little of the kick as well. Every friend I have made wings for has liked this sauce better than others. A few others I have tried and like, but not as much as Ott's: Franks Red Hot, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce. There are others, but none compared to the flavor of Ott's. Ott's Wing Sauce Time to fire up the grill right now! Edited February 21, 2009 by Rex Hudler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
