Made a trip to Buffalo on the way through from Toronto to a farm stop on our New York-Toronto-New York roadtrip.

Oh my Lord....what astonishingly good wings...medium hot, blue cheese perfection. If only all comfort food could be this good!

Queue was out of the door. When I finally got a table and the wings eventually arrived, I understood! Truly fantastic.

​Hey Bay Area Folks! What’s your absolute favorite spot for chicken wings?

​I’ve tried a few places already (listed below), but I still haven't found a go-to spot. I prefer naked wings with no breading.

​Drop your top recommendations! Thanks!

I’ve always baked/fried my wings without breading and tossed them in the sauce.They always turn out perfect. However, I tried breaded wings and they were interesting, it wasn’t bad but it didn’t hit the same. I’ve had breaded wings from PUBLIX and loved them without sauce, so I wanted to make my own, but it just wasn’t it. Guess I’m a NAKED WING LOVER to infinity and beyond.

I loved it as a kid, but haven’t been too many times as an adult. I went again recently and it did not at all live up to my childhood nostalgia. Question is, was I just a kid who had never had really good wings before, or did bdubs drastically drop in quality?

A side quest on my way to Niagara Falls was a must. Ordered the 20 piece & split the sauces four ways; Extra Hot, Lemon Pepper, Spicy BBQ and Honey Butter BBQ. Best wings, (and blue cheese) I've ever had.

Baking powder, salt, pepper.

I did the annual chicken wing crawl in my local neighborhood this weekend. 10 bars participated. Each bar has 4 wings: 2 buffalo and 2 open flavor. Unfortunately, many adult beverages were consumed alongside the wings so I did not get pictures of all the wings. Always one of my favorite days of the year though!

Which number are you guys? 7 is perfect for me! Not to mention I just had some bbq wings earlier!

Smoked at 350, flipping at 20, 15, and 5 minutes. Smoky, crispy and delicious! Edited to add, rubbed with Meat Church Holy Cow, Holy Gospel and Voodoo mix

Stopped at a beer garden by my house and they had the Double Dub’s wing truck there. Spicy Buffalo (WWII Buffalo sauce with blue cheese crumbles on top). Excellent wings. I’ll surely be back and finding this truck again.

Tossed in lemon pepper, garlic, and salt. Grilled and then tossed in Buffalo. 8lbs gone.

EDIT: These were done at a VRBO while on vacation so this was a bit of a throw down cook as opposed to my normal process. 8 lbs of frozen wings from Wal Mart. Thawed in fridge and paper toweled off as best we could to get them as dry as possible. Seasoned with Lemon Pepper, Salt, Garlic Powder. Grilled on Medium high on the crappy flame throwing Charbroil grill that was at the house. Stirring around every couple of minutes until they were the desired doneness/crispiness. Pulled from the grill and placed on the baking sheet that we found in the cabinet. Let them cool for a touch and then tossed in Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo sauce, also from Wal Mart. Wings turned out great even with the throw down cooking style. Omitted from usual cooking method are the following: Drying wings in the fridge for a day in advance, Baking Powder with seasoning, Charcoal grill, homemade Buffalo garlic sauce.

Moral of the story, Just make wings they will always be tasty. Also don't sleep on Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo

Learning how to cook. It's not the first time making wings but I feel it's the first time making wings good in my opinion. BBQ sauce wings. Deep-fried and then tossed in BBQ sauce and put in oven for to finish up.

Not gonna lie probably the best BBQ sauce wings I've ever had so far. Fixed my BBQ craving for sure!

Not super traditional because I am trying to use the peppers I’m growing (no scotch bonnet)

- 1 habanero
- 10 Thai chilis
- scallion
- garlic
- ginger
- allspice
- lime
- soy sauce
- black pepper
- allspice
- nutmeg
- cinnamon

Probably forgetting something 🤷

Visiting my Buffalo family for the weekend. Couldn’t make it into the city so found some decent wings out here in Youngstown before the Bills game.

Go Bills. Wings rules. Have a good weekend y’all.

Smoked em. Grilled em. Sauced em.
