No, but I'll take one for the team and give them a try. I ain't skeered.

My favorite place for wings is the Bidwell Tavern in Coventry, CT. They've got a bunch of different kinds, wet and dry, and I've tried just about all of them. I started going there back when I was at UConn and then when I rented a cottage on Coventry Lake I was there every week. Now I take the family every few months and hit up the UConn Dairy Bar on the scenic way home.

Hooters wings aren't that good but I suppose the scenery is better.

I like it enough that even if the scenery was gone, I'd be there. First time I tried them was when someone brought them so there was no scenery.

Depends on what inks are used by the printer. Some are toxic.

As are the wings. It probably just takes a little longer... ;)

^Agreed, but probably more than a little longer.

McDonalds? Seriously?:confused:

Just had it again for a quick and dirty lunch on the go. Not Hooter's but acceptable in the fast food restaurant category.

The best held secret of good wings is to simply blanch the set of wings your cooking in boiling water first for 2 minutes, this softens the meat and starts the cooking process quicker once the wings hit the fryer ,youll need to drain the wings before frying since water and oil dont mix. Seasoning widley varies ,the best is a lawreys dusting ,fry cook for 15 minutes ,the sauce mix can be enhanced from a bottle mix with 2 tablespoons of real butter, larrys hot sauce seems to work well for the hot wing crowd.You can make 45 to 50 wings for a party for less than $13 . ,Tysons uncut wings,provided you have all the sauces and seasoning.If frying is not available you can cook these in the oven but flip every 15 minutes on 325 for 45 to an hr. Low and slow gives the wings a better crust.

I like breaded wings like Hooters or like KFC. Probably unhealthy but the taste is better IMO.

No way. Not going to go thru that trouble for a party crowd. For me, yes. For a party, catered if I had to or something. :D

I just tried a 5 pc. box of the wings and found them to be VERY GOOD and would eat them again. Very Tasty. :D

I wouldn't go that far. Besides they are too spicy for my liking. They are what they are for the price you pay. There is better but if you are eating on the run, WGAS? If I could sit down and have an hour at my lunch, I'd be at Hooters.

Well, I gave them a try this past weekend. Got a 3 piece and a Coke on the way from kid's soccer to kids' basketball. Not bad for what they are. They are on the spicier side (but not particularly hot), pretty meaty, crunchy coating (not in a sauce), not dried out. Not as good as from a good wing joint but I've had worse at bars. About on par with KFC for what that's worth.
