Buffalo’s best wings

Today, every neighborhood has a bar or pizzeria that serves chicken wings. Ask any local for a recommendation and you’ll get a different answer each time. While chicken wings in Buffalo can start some heated arguments between friends, there are some universal rules: Never bake or bread a chicken wing, they should be served with blue cheese (never ranch) and Frank’s Hot Sauce is typically part of the sauce recipe.

The following seven spots have, in my opinion, the best and sometimes most unique chicken wings in the greater Buffalo area. Whether the restaurant has historical significance, puts a slight twist on the classic recipe or changes up the cooking method, these seven restaurants deserve a special trip.
