KFC wings don't count in a serious discussion about chicken wings.

QFT

basically anywhere that isn't a bar and/or pride themselves on their wings cannot be included in a true wing discussion. those "wings" you get at most pizza places are a joke.

i think it depends... if u get some reasonably fresh wings breaded and fried with bbq it can be great. i've also had some really nasty wings though.

They are cheap, delicious and go hand in hand with beer. Who could seriously ask for more?

the main reason is texture. breast meat is great to tear into with a knife and fork, but the tastiest part of the chicken imo is the wings. i love wings coz the meat is so tender. i dont care abt spices, etc, i love the texture of the meat. im also durnk. butim seriosssss!

Just chiming in to say that I tend to prefer the smaller wings.

For those in the downtown NYC area (below Canal St.)...

1. Mudville 9 (chambers street/west broadway)
2. John Street bar and Grill (John off Broadway)

You should try the wings at Old Glory in Georgetown. They are the big ones but sooooooooo good.

I didn't read a lot of the replies so sorry this is a repeat.

The high ratio of surface area to volume in a chicken wing is largely responsible for their deliciousness and popularity.

I love chicken wings as much as the next guy, but the tastiest part of the chicken is the thighs, no contest.
