Chicken Wings
As football comes to a close and all the locals breathe in heavy sighs from the Seahawks falling short, what better way eat your feelings than America’s REAL favorite past-time: Chicken Wings. Sometimes writing Food Roulette takes a special kind of epicurean athlete. I might not have a great 40 time, but I can get every morsel of meat off a drumette. There is technique that only a 15 year old working his first job at KFC retains. A certain poultry polished process. So grab your bib; all the best foods require a roll of paper towels. Don’t worry, I’ve trained hard for this.
Flamin’ Joe’s
Code 3 Buffalo
You can make a million fancy sauces but Buffalo sauce is a religion. Luckily, in this religion you pray with your mouth. With up to seven heat codes, Joe gives you the option of mild to I instantly regret eating that. I stuck it out with their most popular Code 3. Fried and tossed in simple heat with a nice vinegar tang. Real hot sauce fiends might want to up the anti and get something Code 5 and up.
Morty’s Tap & Grill
Sweet Chili Thai
Sweet Chili sauce is one of my go-to condiments when I’m cooking at home. Morty’s must agree because for a lesser known neighborhood bar, they can cook up some serious Thai chicken wings. A perfect mix of Thai red chili sweetened up with a little sugar and vinegar and sprinkled with sesame seeds. The last thing you need for this plate is any dipping sauce.
Spike’s Phillys and More
Caribbean Jerk
When you’re coming to the end of a long winter, the only real comfort is thinking about being on a remote Caribbean island. Since we all can’t take off at our leisure, Spike’s is bringing the flavor right to you. Allspice, scotch bonnet pepper, cinnamon all mixed up the way a real jerk recipe should be. Now if they could make a flavor called Sun and Beach.
The Ref
Peanut Butter and Jelly
Dip a wing in thick creamy peanut butter and then drizzle it with a thinned down jelly glaze? It’s just one of those flavor combinations you’d never think would work. If you’ve read my previous articles you’d know that when I see something strange on a menu, I have no choice but to partake. That’s why I have a basket full and “you’re over there being peanut butter and jealous.”
Wingstop—Winner
Hickory Smoked BBQ
BBQing chicken wings has become a bit of a past-time for me. So when I’m impressed by a restaurant’s version, don’t take it lightly. I first went to Wingstop in a limo I rented for my sister’s birthday. I’ve since proclaimed them the best wings in town. I’m holding my ground. The deep hickory smoke flavor of these oversized wings will have you ordering out for your next party.
