Best Wings

[4thQtrGlory]

What are you favorite places to get wings, and what are your favorite sauce flavors?

Quaker Steak and Lube---Arizona Ranch
Louisiana Lickers

BW3---spicy garlic

Zeppes(for a quick fix)---spicy garlic

Nothing beats homemade

[peeker643]

Wright Place by far.

Any flavor but the garlic parmesan and the cajun are tremendous.

[4thQtrGlory]

Wing Stop's Hot wings and their hot parm garlic and really good too.

The Rush Inn, hands down.

The fries are the absolute best. That sugary coat over the fries is heaven.

[idoctribefan]

Cleats - Lake Erie Smoke and Kentucky Bourbon
McCarthy's Ale House in Strongsville - Mesquite
BW3 - Parmesan Garlic

Wright Place by far.

21 yrs and counting....

Best wings I've ever had were at the old Tap House in Euclid. Wright Place ... also excellent. As is Wing Stop. Had one of those right by me when I lived in Mentor, but not any longer. Agreed on the fries.

No good wings out by where I live now. I've actually switched over to the boneless wings when I order them now.

[FUDU]

Woody's on the west side, not the largest selection of flavors but the flavors they have coupled with the size makes them tough to beat. Lots of places today have very good wings. Wings are now something that have defied the laws of economics as we know them. They should be like $2.50 a dozen.

Totally agree with the outrageous prices of wings these days. I like Roman's wings in Madison but taking out a mortgage payment to ingest the wholesome goodness just doesn't seem fair. Peeker, where in Madison do y ou get them from??????????

Used to love Roman's and taste wise they are excellent, but my problem is with their size consistency...sometimes you order them and they are like embryos

[Guest]

99% of the time I make mine at home and use BW3 spicy garlic and also the Quaker Steak sauces, BBQ and Ranch mostly.
Wright Place is solid, garlic parm are out of this world.
I prefer to make my own so when they aren't as crispy as I like I have nobody to blame but myself.
Now I'm f-ing hungry.

Romans has gotten worse since I moved in in '99. I make my own or head toward fairgrounds road and Painesville.

No. My tetanus is out of date. I ain't going in there. It's the joint just east of Giant Eagle on Rt20 before you cross over 44. I think it's actually called 'Wings'. Not bad. Not Wright Place but not bad.

Oh yeah, just saw that place last month while at GE...I didn't even know they tore down the old Pizza Hut? Hafta try it sometime

QSL - Arizona Ranch

BW3 - Hot

The Pickle in Brecksville - any of them.

[CohibaTC]

My favorite wings are Quaker Steak & Lube Louisiana Lickers or the Buckeye BBQ.

From my experience, the Winking Lizard wings are tough to beat for their meaty-ness and the consistency, and the Carribbean and Spicy Garlic are pretty darn good.

I have to agree with wabo on the wings at the Wright Place.

It seems that there are a few of you guys that make your own wings. Do you have any suggestions on making them? Where do you usually get the wings? How do you cook them? Do you fry them? Bake them? Both? Whenever I fry them, they always come out a little too crispy and actually fall apart when I "spin" them in a container.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I am hankering for some wings now.....

TC!!!!! Good afternoon, you must have smelled the wings

[Larvell Blanks]

I miss the wings from here...


seriously, when Hoosters was open in the Flats we used to golf and have lunch down there every Monday. I became addicted to them.


Not that I complained about the scenery

I'm sure everybody makes their's differently, but this always works for us:

1. Make sure wings are defrosted....wipe dry with paper towels and keep them coated in Sea or Kosher salt overnight in the fridge (it draws out the water)

2. Get that fryer up to 375-400 degrees and use peanut oil

3. don't overcrowd the basket with the wings and fry for 10 minutes

4. toss in the sauce and enjoy

C'mon over for the tourney and I'll make ya some

Mr Blanks. Is that really the best waitress picture you could find of that joint?

[Larvell Blanks]

Mr Blanks. Is that really the best waitress picture you could find of that joint?

best one I could find, here at work, that included both waitress AND wings.

Sadly she was a reflection of the first shift waitresses they had in the Flats. They took a literal interpretation of the word FLATs

[4thQtrGlory]

Any of you guys mind sharing your homemade chicken wing recipes? Of course there is the franks red hot, vinegar garlic, and butter which NEVER dissapoints. I make my own version of Louisana Lickers with Devil Chayenne hot sauce, ketchup, vinegar, cajun seasoning, pepper, butter, salt, and minced garlic.

[osucrazy18]

Elyria convenient hot wings baby, like 7 cents a pop....best deal for game day

Other than that, Bw3 Par. Garlic, and honey BBQ WOW IM HUNGRY

Not exactly the greatest cook in the world, but when I do wings at home I first boil them with some of the Tony Chachere's spice/salt in the water. After I take them out, I put them onto a cookie sheet and then bake them. I take the wings out of the oven, put them into a homemade sauce (crystal's hot sauce, honey, sugar, and butter) and then back into the oven for a few more minutes.

[Tymaster]

Let wings defrost over night in salt water.
Make a medley of flour, eggs, and buttermilk.
Throw in the basket. Not too many at a time though.
Use peanut oil.
Fry for about 10 minutes.
Dip in sauce of your choice or the Tymaster Special
Franks Red Hot.
Old Bay.
BUTTER, real butter.
Honey!
Some garlic and some vinegar.

Serve with bleu cheese.

Any wings out of a turkey fryer in Muni at 10 am.

If you are posting a non-chain, how bout a lil clue as to where.

Some people do progressive (small "p" ) ballpark vacations, others...

Salt, Pepper, Paprika.

Insanely hot grill. Grill watching for excess flame ups drinking beer the whole time.

Eat, throw bones in backyard for coyotes to enjoy.

No drunkenly shooting the coyotes later on with a spotlight?

Your way doesn't seem like nearly as much fun.

I hate coyotes.

1 mile south of the 90 spur on 271S. Tuesday of last week. Coyote standing right on the side of the road. I mean, right there at Wilson Mills nearly. Unheard of even a couple years ago. Now those mangy fucking game killers are everywhere.

Never a bad time to shoot one of those in the head.

I like wings.

Back on track.

Hey guys, need some help. Im planning on making wings this weekend, but i dont have a grill until next week so im going to just bake them. i want them to be tender and juicy (fall off the bone) but with a little bit of a crisp. Im going to use a Louisana Licker sauce, and want the outside of the skin to have a little bit of a crisp but not burnt. I just dont want the skin to be really chewy to where it looks raw. I know i can broil them, but i didnt know what the best method would be. Pan searing in vegetable oil sounds ok too, but i would need a breading. I dont want the breading being too thick.. Basically, i want the texture to be like BW3/Quaker Steak wings. Can you guys help a brother out?

I saw an episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown did them with out frying. I have used a lot of his recipes and while a lot of things are overly complex and time consuming they usually produce superb results.

Wings are deep fried.

That is all.

my wife bakes them and i do not complain. but she also breads them.

I know the picture of Corky will come out after this post, but baking them isn't all that bad. I boil them prior to putting them in the oven and they end up just fine.

First of all, for wings, right next to the burger place I posted in the burger thread, is http://www.wingwarehouse.com/index.php?section=1 They even have a NASCAR simulator.

Secondly, Alton Brown's recipe is one I'm going to try. First you steam the wings, then you bake them. Supposedly the skin is crisp without the fat smoking up the kitchen.

U want no part of wings then broham. Chicken fat is gnarley saturated.

No worries eating like Bill Phillipps. But no wings will get you there.

jd , Spin agrees becasue it is in Akron.

I'm partial to the fried twinkees when I go there.

I also like Quaker Steak and some of the flavors at Cleats, but nothing compares to the Rush.

[OldDawg]

I see a lot of guys liking the Parmesian Garlic wings. I was at an all-you-can-eat wing dinner at a local wingery a while back. I musta had 24 BBQ wings and a dozen mild buffalo wings. In the middle of all that, I asked the waitress for her recommendation for something a little different. She said Parm Garlic. So I tried a half dozen. I thought they were good, but I preferred my traditional wings.

However, later that evening, they kept sneaking back up on me. I mean, even a closed-mouthed tiny-mini-burp cleared out a room. Pretty potent stuff. That evening, it was a blizzard in the dead of winter and I had my car windows cracked open.

And speaking of after-effects. When you get the 5-alarm fire wings, I'll be darned if they don't burn just as bad (or worse) coming out as they did going down. Ugh.

No matter the flavor, I like them very meaty. A little crisp on the outside (many are not). Juicy on the inside. And dripping in sauce.

The bump of this thread just inspired a hankering for wings at Rush Inn that will not ebb until fully satisfied. Thanks a lot.

Rush Inn is on Detroit Rd. in Lakewood- across from Beck Center, but I do believe I spotted a new Rush Inn out there in Avon neer Petitti's nursary. Does that make it a ... chain, or just a satellite office?
