Wing Week: Part I
The National Chicken Council (real thing) predicts Americans will eat more than 1.25 billion chicken wings this weekend. So, each day in the week leading up to the Super Bowl, we'll show you one of our favorite spots that does Buffalo Chicken Wings right. They aren't broiled or roasted. They're not grilled or smoked, and they're definitely never, ever breaded. Buffalo Wings are deep fried and tossed in a simple, vinegar-based hot sauce/butter combo. Some places go the extra mile and brine their wings and/or give them a a double fry, but at their root, Buffalo Wings are a simple food. We love the barbecue renditions found about town at the likes of Dinosaur BBQ (Wango Tango) and The Smoke Joint, but this week, we're sticking to the classics. There aren't any Duff's in New York City, but that doesn't mean there are no good wings. First up? The Wing Bar.
