Like chicken wings? Check out aWingThing.com!

[exitspeed]

I made a brand new site dedicated to all things chicken wings. I lo'me some chicken wings. My buddies and I will get together and fry up a giant vat and we're constantly going out to a few local places so we decided we were going to start making trips to wing places locally and maybe across the country.

So check it out. Bookmark it. Comment. Keep watching.

The site is only a week old so there's probably some technical issues here and there. And I'm not a professional writer, just a dude that loves wings, so there's bound to be some grammatical errors.

aWingThing.Com (http://www.awingthing.com/)

When I was in Detroit last month my friend and I went to a place downtown called Sweetwater and had their wings. This is really what inspired me to make a site all about wings. We couldn't stop talking about how awesome these wings were.

My friends and I are planning a trip to Detroit in the summer probably so they can all try'em too.

you should have asked about wings when you were coming to STL... Syberg's has the baddest wings on earth.

Hey Mel, if you check out more Wisconsin/Milwaukee area places let me know. i'll tag along.

I didn't make it to STL last year. If there's a wing place though that is the bomb I can set up a little strip. STL isn't that far from me.

Will do man. The more the marriererer.

Some of the places we're planning on in the near future is Magoo's (even though we always go there), and Major Goolsby's downtown.

There aren't any other big wing places in Sheboygan that I know of and I don't know about Madison as I just moved here.

Quaker Steak's got some pretty good wings, nice variety of flavors and IMO, their Atomic wings are pretty hot, Id say they are hotter than Legend Larrys.

You should put a wing database (restaurants) on there that guests can update.

Shitty cell phone pic spread of food would have been better than nothing. I have never eaten hooters wings. Seems I am not missing anything. There is no place here that has really good wings. All the wings here are bar wings. The hot flavor has no spice. One place sells "Atomic" wings. They are all spice and no flavor.

I am liking the idea of this site. Will users be able to submit things as well or is it just going to be you guys?

So the site has been up for a almost two months now and things are going well. The gang has been able to get to a lot of places around the SE WI area and we've had some damn good wings. We still have a ton of places to go to, but we're working on it.

Today I received a pretty cool email from the owner of Legend Larry's, Legend Larry himself regarding our visit to them in Jan. If you don't know Legend Larry's they won First Place Extra Hot, First Place Hot, Second Place Medium, and 2009 Over-all Fan Favorite at the National Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo NY and they are right here in WI. That's some pretty impressive stuff considering how many entries are submitted. Anyway I thought it was pretty cool that the site is getting some recognition however small at this point.

there is only one place WORTH bragging about. WINGNUTS. There is one in pomona and coasta mesa that I know about. All they do is wings, and a very limited other selection. Beer is wonderful there too!

I think they have 30 different sauces too...maybe more!

[axiomatik]

Mel, if you come down to Atlanta I'll have to take you to Taco Mac. Local chain with great wings and really good ranch dressing and a huge beer selection.

Another cool place down here is a Korean fried chicken place. I had Korean chicken when I was in Seoul a few years ago. It is cooked just like wings, though they use the whole chicken (legs/breast/wings), and they can have different style sauces, like garlic or sweet. Really good stuff, and there is a large Korean population here, so luckily there's a korean chicken place called Love Letter out in Gwinett County.

If you want to make that recipe even better, take an egg yoke and a tbl spoon of cornstarch. Mix the yolk and corn starch together to create a slurry. Once the other ingredients get up to temp vigorously stir in the slurry. The sauce will start to thicken up right away and then it'll stay combined. If you don't do this (you probably noticed) you'll see that the oil (from the butter) and the hot sauce will start to separate if you don't keep stirring. The slurry will keep it combined like a sauce you'd get at BW3's. It'll coat the wings better thins way.

They have a firesteak sandwich and waffle fries that are badass too. Shoot me a pm if you do come through, Ill meet you there, I love the place.

Try Pistol Petes in Brookfield. Good wings with a full menu of other great foods. It has 2 sides to it, a sitdown bar with music, tvs, and games, and a quiet dining room.

Demarinis has the best no sauce wings i have had. It is an italian restaurant with only mild or hot and they are huge, but they are very good as well as the rest of there food. They also have the best pizza imo.

Fry'em. That's the best way. If you have the time, fry'em, then through them on the grill for a min, then toss in sauce.



Fried up some using the "beer built in" recipe on the site. very tasty even without sauce.

Alondra Hot Wings Restaurant & Grill (http://www.alondrawings.com/food-menu/index.html)

Scroll down to Hot Wings and look up "Atomic." Notice it says "waiver" beside it because they're so hot you have to sign a frickkin waiver before you can order them.

I think they pack that shit with Ghost Chili Peppers google it it's the world's hottest pepper

[theicecreamdan]

so what's the best way to do wings?

1)season/marinade
2)fry
3)sauce
4)grill
5)sauce

[exitspeed]

I think it's personal preference. I used to just like a fried then sauced wing. Then I had a couple places locally that marinade, sauce, then grill and this became my favorite. But the best wing I've ever had at Sweet Water in Detroit are marinaded, fried and then sauced.

I think it just comes down to cooking them right. Because I'd had really good wings that are just fried and really really bad wings that are just fried.

When we do a big wing night at one of our cribs we usually just fry them and then sauce'em.

[Wake]

We have smokeeaters here in san jose and for some reason the buffalo bell in santa cruz puts wingstop to shame.

[exitspeed]

We don't have Wingstops here. :/

[Wake]

well wingstop is crap lately, I dunno if its the chefs or the location i went to bu t i was not impressed.

Smokeeaters has the hellfire challenge, you may have seen it on Man Vs Food. Looks pretty intense, Im not into spicy shit like that but Im thinking of taking my dad over there to see if he can pass.
Hellfire Challenge | Smoke Eaters (http://smoke-eaters.com/about/hellfire-challenge/)

[WanganRunner]

We don't have Wingstops here. :/

Wingstop is great for their original flavor, IMO. Some of the others are just kind of average.

I never thought about trying to get creative with wings, but this thread is getting my brain working. Now I want to try the following:

-Five Spice
-Singapore Chili (i.e. chili crab)
-Misoyaki

Up until now I've been boring about it, I just do them one way. It isn't a real "hot wing", just grilled.

-Brine overnight in ziploc with water and salt, sage, cumin, and Cholula.
-Grill, spritzing with spray bottle of Tequila & lime juice.


I've never fried them, but all the best wings I've ever had have been fried. I own a deep fryer, I just hate using it because it's a pain in the ass and I have to use like $15 in peanut oil to even fire it up. Not worth it for small batches.

[exitspeed]

Pretty soon we are going to allow reader reviews and recipes. So if you guys do any, take, pics, and write about it I'll put it up on the site with your name.

I went to ASU for 5 years, and never made it over to the Vine. You want to know what else is crazy? After ASU I moved to Iowa City for 4 years, which apparently is their only other location outside of Tempe, and still never went. I guess I just never ate much wings back then. Love them now.

If you guys make it back to SE Michigan anytime soon there is a place here in Monroe that is billed as a pizza joint, but everyone goes there for the coal fired herb wings. I'm from Charlotte NC and I'd like to say we have a lot of great wing places down there, and the wings at this place are by far the best I've had. You should try it out. If you get up with me when you're here it will be my treat.

Yeah, we will be back in Detroit. Probably next year. We wanted to get back there this Summer but I'm not sure it'll happen with so much going on.

BTW, I just added a section that has wing specials for Milwaukee and SE WI. Only Monday is done so far. Obviously it won't help people on here unless you are visiting, but I figured I'd bring it up.

Oh, and we're shooting our next video tomorrow. Gonna do it real big.

[Purestock240]

what kind of prices do most places charge for wings in the states? up here most places are 75 cents to a dollar, local place is 25 cents a wing tuesday nights though

[exitspeed]

On nights where there are specials, they are usually $.25-$.50. Otherwise typcial prices are like $5-$7 half dozen roughly.

We just covered the First Annual Brew City Wingfest here in Milwaukee. We sponsored the event and did the official video, gave away t-shirts, and stickers and had seriously awesome time. The event was killer. Keep an eye out for a teaser vid soon and the full vid down the road.

Also, I installed a new commenting system so commenting on the site is really easy. you can log in with FB, Google, etc etc.

Finally got a DD and went to B3W. Did their "blazin challenge." Least the waitress going to get the stopwatch gave some time for them to cool off. The temperature of them was worse(hotter) than the sauce. Did finished them in 3/6 minutes. The no wiping thing kind of pissed me off because about 15mins after I finished them my lips were on fire like they had been pepper sprayed. Other challenges I have done let you wipe but you had to leave the wipe open to show you weren't hiding food.

I wasn't impressed with the sauce. It was more chemical than natural heat. Have gone back and have enjoyed their other sauces. But, there are a lot better quality "extreme" sauces out there, even from chains.
Quaker State's for example was a much more enjoyable sauce. You can taste the different peppers in it. Not washed out by the overpowering extracts.

One local place I go to has always grilled their wings after saucing them. Now some other places have started doing it and claiming they have always had them. Is this popular all over?

[exitspeed]

Yeah Blazin sauce is terrible. Lile you said, you can taste the chemicals, which I assume is pure capsaicin extract. The color of the sauce makes it less then enjoyable too.

Saucing then grilling has been around for a while around here. There's quite a few places that have been doing it like that forever. I used to be a really saucy, wet kinda wing guy until a couple places around here that sauce then grill have changed my mind. I actually prefer it that way now. Something about it makes the flavor more complex and less one note.

Mmmmm, I need some wings. Haven't had any in a couple weeks.

The grilling will bring out more flavors in the natural sauces. Sort of like grilling/roasting whole Peppers and Chillies.
