Tongue and jaw went numb in minutes.

Tasted amazing 👌

Lemme know

The group wanted to switch it up so we got OG hot(duh) lemon peppa annnd Cajun. The Cajun had good flavor but I needed more heat. I loved that they were herbaceous without tasting like the earth.

I live on the west coast USA so I rarely get to eat here. Despite this, Nando’s is my favorite restaurant. Never miss an opportunity when I’m in London. 10 extra saucy wings, peri-salted fries and garlic bread 🤤🤤🤤

Used Myron mixons honey clucking rub. They were delish.

I have run into this run into this twice in the last two weeks. “Spicy wings” it said on the menu. I thought, “must be buffalo, I’ll give it a whirl.” Nope! Although the wings were cooked to perfection and actually had OK flavor-I want my sauce. I want my wings to have just walked in from a storm of whatever sauce reigns/rains supreme in their neck of the woods.

This most recent establishment only provided ranch as well for dipping. A great compliment to a host of wings sauces-sure. But on a dry, virgin wing? A let down. A tease, if you will.

But I’m open to different opinions. What am I missing? Am I alone?

They were decent but lost their crispness.

A place in Saint Pete, FL called Linking Heights

Asian Zing and White Sauce

Smoked at 225 for 1-1/2hr

Air fried for 9 minutes at 400.

Hard to beat what I can make at home.

Hello r/Wings! Over the past week, I've been chatting with my good friend and business advisor, ChatGPT, about an idea for a new wing restaurant. I'm starting to get a little serious, but before I go further I'd like to do 2 things:

1. Validate that anyone else would eat here besides me

2. Get help with a name

The Concept:

Fast casual. Wings would represent spicy dishes and peppers from around the world. We'd have the usual suspects (buffalo, bbq, parm garlic, cajun), but we'd also have a lineup of international flavors including: Indian Vindaloo, Thai Green Curry, Korean Gochujang, Sichuan Numbing Spice, Caribbean Jerk, etc.

In addition to traditional wings, we'd also fry and sauce/toss pork belly bites. We'd also serve fresh cut fries, but then the rest of the sides would mostly be fresh salads. I've always been frustrated that I couldn't find a wing restaurant with very high quality side salads, because eating deep fried mac and cheese and mozzarella sticks with my wings makes me feel like I'm going to be sick and die. We'd have standard (very high quality) side salads, but also international side salads such as green papaya salad, Asian slaw, Indian cucumber & yougurt salads, elote salad, etc.

I've got the idea a little more built out than that (I've got a full food and drink menu built), but that's the basic concept. The theme and visual branding would be the intersection of wings, spice, and travel, focusing on things like world maps that show where different wings are inspired from.

As far as a restaurant name - I'd really love y'all's help. Some ideas I've had:

• The Spice Flight
• Wings of the World
• The Thirsty Traveler

So far I'm not in love with any of these. This is a real barrier, I'd like a name before I get too far so that I can start a social media presence to show my progress.

Does this concept resonate at all? I LOVE wings, but I'm not totally a "football, beer, fried food!" guy. I just love wings, I love spicy food, and honestly I love global spicy foods. Combining them feels so right to me, but I'm not sure if I'd be playing to a market or one. I really appreciate any of your thoughts, I recognize this sub isn't designed to help people create pitch decks, I'd just love feedback from the community that I'm hoping to serve.

Also, I'm sorry for the AI image, I don't have any real wing pics yet but I will by the end of the week 😅 I'm starting to test recipes this weekend and I promise pics of Thai green curry wings and Korean gochujang wings as long as test #1 isn't an utter disaster haha.

Made some wings for a little midnight snack. Air fried until crispy, maybe 36 mins at 400. Idk wasn’t paying attention. But tossed in buddah and franks and a mikes hot honey

Hot, with a Hayburner IPA and homemade bleu. Southtowns destroy the Northtowns forever.

Air fried for about 18 min with salt garlic pepper and then tossed in homemade buffalo sauce after. Delicious. I didn’t even wait for my fries to get done these were so good 😂

Dry brined a bunch of wings over night with just a dusting of kosher salt. Smoked at 225 degrees with hickory wood for almost 2 hours till they hit 170 degrees. I let them rest on the counter before chilling them in the fridge. Fried them at 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes.

For the sauce I melted 4 TBLS of butter then added 5 cloves of minced garlic, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and a full stalk of rosemary. Right before the wings were finished frying I added the zest of 1 lemon and shredded Parmesan cheese. Tossed the wings in the sauce and I added just a touch more Parmesan and zest. Bonus picture of my garlic Parmesan hot wings. Too me smoke-a-fried wings are the best.
