WHERE TO EAT The best Buffalo Wings in the world (according to food experts)
1
Recommended by Gayot and 10 other food critics.
"As you've probably surmised, these are no ordinary wings. The key is to order them "dirt" style. When they’re fried, sauced, fried, then sauced again --- a technique invented here in the '90s --- they turn dark, sticky and extra-crispy. No need to apologize if you stick solely with wings and beer."

"There’s some sort of magic in their sauce, which is unbelievably flavorful, and even after a dousing the wings stay crispier than you’ll find just about anywhere else, while staying juicy and tender on the inside."

"Despite its tourist-attraction status, Anchor Bar is still worth a visit as well for any self-respecting wing aficionado out there—“medium” is the original, buttery variety; we also tried its super-peppery “suicidal” version."

"The wings served at Gabriel’s are bigger than you’ll usually find, and are fried and sauced to perfection."

"They were very good, immersed in quantities of a thick sauce, doubtless made with the same margarine and Frank’s, but here pureed into a thick slurry that the wings almost bobbed in."

"If you're in the general vicinity of Buff's Pub, get some wings. I'm still trying to convince myself that I cracked the code to the Buff's wings. After all, the classic version usually mixes the hot sauce with melted butter, so that's, like, a huge discovery."

"Who Makes the Best Chicken Wings in Ireland? Serving up chicken wings for twenty seven years, and over 200 tonnes of chicken wings a day, Elephant & Castle is Ireland’s top choice."

"Admittedly, we’re more accustomed to a drier, meatier wing, which is perhaps why we loved the ones at Bar Bill - the medium-hot wings were our favorite in Buffalo: crispy and flavorful with a pleasing, not overbearing spice."

"Old Town’s wings are the kind of bar wings with enough tangy/buttery Buffalo flavor and substantial meatiness that you can house several orders and never get tired of them."
