OT Best Wings in CT

A little curve ball here. The smoked wings from the Wiremill in Georgetown are awesome, especially when they are right out of the smoker. They have a really nice tangy horseradish based white sauce to go with it, as well.

Where in Georgetown is that? I live close by there.

I can't believe people like TK's. Pippa's is so much better

Agreed. I used to really like Tks, but its just not as good as the first time I had it. Pippas is definitely better.

Nothing against the Tendies either. In fact, I love them - Wings Over is amazing.

That said, not a wing.

There is even regulations against supermarkets from calling the boneless wings. They can’t be labeled that, that’s why you see the “wyngz” and other designations in your freezer section.

Shady restaraunts can get away with it though.

It’s a miscarriage of justice
 
Never been a wing guy, and don't see what all the fuss is about. I'll eat 'em, but wouldn't go out of my way for them. Not even when I go to Buffalo. Much prefer Beef on a Weck.
 
Black Duck in Westport. Way underrated. Vinny's in Fairfield. 50 cents on Tuesday. Don't short sell us downstaters.

Boneless wings became a thing about ten years ago when the wholesale price of chicken wings became higher than the whole cost of chicken breasts.

The market is endlessly creative.
 
Just had the crispy tenders at Gus’ in New London. Super.
You can gamble there too, always a plus for degenerates.
 
Tipping Chair in Milldale (Southington) is excellent. Try the parmesan garlic wings. Their hottest wings are insanely hot, took me about 15 minutes to recover enough to torture myself by eating another one. I can attest to how good the boneless wings are at Wing It On. They're tenders essentially, I recommend the dry rub and the lemon buffalo ones.

Smoked then fried? Might have to fire up the weber and the fry daddy soon.

Great little place to catch some live music, food and drinks. I’m looking forward to going again soon.

A buddy of mines was raving about it recently. Bonus being its just down the hill from me. Rumor has it they had two juicy in a can too.

Good to know. I live in Middletown, so this is perfect.

It's in the Ace Hardware plaza on Route 17. You probably thought it was a smoke shop when you passed it because they have a Native American themed sign that looks like a cigar store Indian. It doesn't look like much but the food is excellent and fresh. They make everything fresh every day and sell out of everything they make. They added outdoor seating a couple years ago, which helps with the crowds in the nicer weather. A few decent beers usually too.

After reading this thread yesterday, it dawned on me that I have never been to J Timothy's before. I changed that. I owe the BY a debt of gratitude. I got 10 honey bbq wings, and 6 buffalo "dirt-style." It was a borderline religious experience.
 
They aren’t the best wings in the world but if you like gorganzola (best cheese ever) get the kitchen sink wings at Beachland Tavern in West Hartford.

Taino Smokehouse in Middletown has great wings. Marinated, smoked and then deep fried. Great flavor and texture.

I've been twice and liked it but felt like I still don't' know what's best to order. This is a help. What else do you recommend? Pretty sure they were sold out last time of what sounded best.

Donahues does theirs the same way. Smoked then fried. Might be the best wings on the shoreline

In addition to the wings: all of their sides are excellent. For their mains, I like the ribs and brisket the best. I'm picky about both and they do both very well; not surprisingly they are also the things they usually run out of first. Their pulled pork is a family favorite and the chicken is always solid, but imo the wings, brisket and sides are the most special. Even their french fries are excellent.

Went their for dinner with the family yesterday and we had a 10-15 minute wait for a table so I grabbed a beer to watch the Eagles-Falcons game from the doorway; was stunned to see that they had Heady Topper cans for sale and ordered one purely on impulse even though I rarely drink beer any more. Was even more stunned when I was charged $10 for one can. Tasted tremendous though.

Yes the old Vicky’s.

Always thought that was Clinton but as I remember Ichabods was in Madison back in the day so it only makes sense. Will have to try those there when on the shoreline thanks.
