What to order

  • Bone-in wings – pick a classic buffalo sauce to compare places
  • Fried chicken – dark meat stays juicier
  • Chicken tenders – the safe choice for kids
  • Hot chicken – start at a lower heat level than you think

Good to know

  • Wing deals are common on weekdays; game days are the busiest.
  • Order sauce on the side for takeout to keep wings crisp.
  • Heat scales are not standardized – “hot” at one place can be “mild” at another.
