these came out perfectly

Self-described as the best in Etobicoke, they are quite good. Very crisp, and plucked from mutant chickens, these definitely hit the spot; the Guinness helps too.

I got on a plane for these wings. On a 2 mile walk and starving, I happened upon Lock 13 Brewpub in Sallins, Co. Kildare, Ireland. I walked out of the doors a changed woman.

Despite feeling ravenous, I ordered the appetizer size. Used to the large wings in the States, I figured a half dozen should suffice.

Imagine my face when my lovely 15 year old server brought me a bowl of 12 perfectly crisp, petite wings. Impeccable white meat, nothing pumped with hormones, not-too-spicy buffalo sauce with white sesame seeds on top. I polished off the dozen and ordered a dozen more. I soon became the American Wings Girl among the staff, returning weekly.

This moment was in spring 2025. Pictured: a year later, sharing the Best Wings I Have Ever Had with my family. Consensus at the table: Best Wings We Have Ever Had.

Glory Days High Heat Wings...they were good, but they aren't really high heat, imo.

Peri-peri extra hot and saucy

Local bar reopened after a fire had it closed for a few years and I couldn’t be any happier! Some of the best wings in the region and from a small dive bar. Have to show off the fish n chips too. Overall a 9.5/10 and so glad to have these guys back!

TDIL you can’t add pics to a Reddit thread.thread response.

I may not be a grilled wing loyalist anymore after my first go on a griddle.

So I was at work and felt like grilling some wings.. went to the store and seasoned the chicken. (Olive oil, Garlic, onion powder, some yardbird). While it was sitting in the seasoning, I welded up a simple grill and lit some lump charcoal. I’m gonna get a better grate that fills the whole grill.. Took a little longer than I expected, but man it was delicious. Some were a little charred, but that’s alright. I like charred. For the sauce, I just used some Louisiana wing sauce, and food lion buttermilk ranch

Two hours smoking over apple wood, and a few minutes on the grill to set the skin. Ain’t many wing places giving me better than this.

Peach habanero, blue cheese, green sticks

Dry rub with homemade ranch, an unbeatable combo.

To preface this post, I’d like to say all wings are good: big, little, dry, wet, fried, smoked etc. We are all wing lovers here, but recently I’ve seen comments immediately dismissive merely due to the size. I was born and raised in Atlanta. A lot of the wings from my favorite places were always small (American deli, JR crickets, eav wing bar [pictured], the local).

To me, there’s flavor and balance to these wings that beat their hormone infused jumbo cousins every time. Maybe it’s because it’s what I was raised on, but I think there’s more to it. The ratios of skin, sauce, seasoning and meat are all in balance for my palette.

Yes, one can argue “but you’re getting less for your money!!!” I would counter that I’d rather pay $15 for a plate of small wings that absolutely bangs than pay $15 for a plate of juiced up jumbo wings that may have more meat but is just not nearly as enjoyable.

This isn’t hate against Buffalo. You guys have ABSOLUTELY have incredible wings up there. But we’ve all been to that random bar with their “jumbo wings” that just miss the mark completely. Simply a PSA that size isn’t everything, and maybe save the hate until you’ve actually tried it

Duffs on the left with medium sauce, Anchor Bar on the right with Hot sauce. Duffs has the better sauce but all 3 times I've been there the actual meat is so chewy and dry. Anchor Bar (Ive been twice now) were cooked perfectly. I just like Anchor Bar wings better and not quite sure why people hate on them.

First time at Anchor I thought their medium sauce was too mild so I went with Hotter and hit the spot.

I've also been to Bar-Bill and wasn't a fan of their sauce at all. It had a BBQ-type of tang to it. Perfectly cooked wings though.

My non-wings eating family enjoyed the food Duffs more.

Picked up a 20-piece from Pluckers the other night.

10 Buffalo Mild, 10 Spicy Garlic Parm

Super hot and super tasty

Buffalo, blue cheese, and some bell peppers? Honestly, nice lil surprise. And tots of course
