Who doesn’t love some good chicken wings? America is known for having great spots to get chicken wings across the country. As it turns out, two Florida establishments have some of the best chicken wings in all of America. So, it turns out that America’s best chicken wings are in Florida.

Tasting Table has a new list out of the 30 best restaurants to get chicken wings in America. “The chicken wing has long since earned its place in American culinary lore, going from the oft-overlooked and rejected part of the bird (via Concord Monitor) to a celebrated treat that graces pub menus and five-star dining restaurants alike,” they state. They add that, “for many, it all starts with the Buffalo wing.” Yum. They also state that the Buffalo wing dates back to 1964. I had no idea it was that old.

America’s Best Chicken Wings

So, which are the two Florida spots with the best chicken wings in America? One is Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill, which has 23 locations across South Florida. “With a casual and welcoming vibe, good beer selection, and great menu, the chain brings the heat and flavor, especially when it comes to its wings which are some of the best in the Sunshine State,” Tasting Table state. The other pick is Miami, Florida’s House of Wings. “The restaurant offers more than 60 different flavors of its namesake, ranging from the super spicy to the wild and whimsical,” Tasting Table says. The publication also notes that here, the chicken wings are served with ranch dressing, not blue cheese, as their base. I’m a huge bleu cheese fan, so I’d probably miss it, but people apparently really love the unique ranch flavor. Find the full list of America’s best chicken wings via Tasting Table here. There are so many great options for tasty wings.
