Yuk. I've never had wings in a slow cooker or oven that I've liked. They need to be fried and have a crisp to 'em.

This. It is not possible to make a good wing unless you fry it -- and for god's sake don't put flour on them. The crispiness of the skin (as well as the sauce) is what makes the wing.

Bake wings in the oven or put them in a slow cooker and they are just 'chicken'.
 
Porky's in shelton or Archies but TKs has the best atmosphere during Uconn games.

Let me guess. You also make "awesome ribs" in a crock pot too?

Somewhat au-contraire. Baking wings AFTER frying them can help in a little extra crispyness. Try it.

You sure as hell don't fry them. And you want the meat to fall off the bone...which means slow cooking. Some wings need a little more of that.

You can only smoke ribs. Just like you can only fry wings. Yet, some fools think you can accomplish either with an oven or a crock pot.

If they are fried correctly, there is no need, and it would only dry out the interior.

Two ingredient chicken wings:

Roll them around in this stuff-

Cook them on your grill.

Enjoy!

You're welcome.
 
Had a chance to try Timothy's today and immediately knew I was bringing some home. Despite being stuck in the box and losing much of that great crispness it was appreciated by the family. Wow they were good right off the fryer with a good IPA. Glad I had a chance to stop by after catching some T&F in New Britain. Was alone but struck up a nice conversation with my server. Great experience overall.
 
How hard is it to get a friggen table at j Tim's? The parking lot is huge and loaded with cars. Most of them bmws and the like.
 
For what it's worth, I just read an article (print, not Internet) about smoking wings halfway fiaprat.....then frying them. I am determined to try this. Wow.

Who goes to a restaurant after getting food poisoning there twice?

Good point! Once, then maybe I go back. Twice, definitely not. Three times and I'm on the phone with the town's/city's health inspector!

Oh, natural selection, how we miss you so!

Is fire still hot or do you think you need to check it one more time?

Were the wings good? Yes.
Was it worth the sickness? Yes.
Would I do it again? Maybe.
 
This thread again? All wings are good as long as:

1. they are well done and very crispy on the outside. Always ask for your wings extra crispy.

2. The wings are on the smallish side. Whenever I see "giant wings" or "jumbo wings" on the menu I pass. Chickens shouldn't be that big. It either means the chicken is pumped full of fluid, which is disgusting or it is some freakish Walmart style, genetically modified chickenasaurus.

The sauce is hard to screw up, even store brand garbage wing sauce tastes great on a quality wing fried to a crispy crunch.

That's basically the truth.

Your favorite pizza, your favorite wings and your favorite burgers are never that unique. There are only so many ways to grill a ground up cow or deep-fry a chicken wing.

No, but wings aren't regional. Sorry.

Try using their full name and see how that statement holds up.
