I refer to the flats as split bone.  They are by far the superior wing under any name.  Taking the kids for wings tonight.

Before we got a fryer I heated oil in a pot on stovetop. Use a thermometer to make sure oil right temp. Similar result but more of a pain in the ###.

 
Drums have my favorite single bite-- that knob of deep fried goodness hanging off the end of the bone. But overall flats are superior. 

 
Grabbed some wings on the way home tonight to enjoy while watching my Sens beat the dastardly Pens!  :thumbup:

Boneless, #####es!  :excited:

I was going to like this until I read this part.

We are christening my SIL's pool tonight so we got pizza and wings.  The place delivered them and there was only ranch cups for the wings.  :no:

I find it odd, but sometimes I can just soak the ####er in blazin' and no big deal.  Other times, I can barely touch it.   I don't know if the sauce changes, or somehow/someway my body reacts differently on different days.

I do know it hurts the next day, regardless.  But that tingle on the lips....yeah baby WHOOOO!
Peppers are hotter certain times of the year.  I play softball with a guy who used to own a couple BWW restaurants.  He also told me the wings are bigger certain times of the year as well.  Also wings are bigger now than they were 10-12 years ago that's why the went to sizes instead of # of wings.

my time in BWW has dropped since my 13 year old has determined (correctly or incorrectly) that everytime he eats there, he gets the runs. :lmao:   I can't drag him along when that's his stance.
Did he eat boneless wings?  Their is something in the breading that does that as that happened to my son when he was younger.  Happened a few times and refused to go there.  He's 15 now and has no issues with the regular wings.

While on the subject of size, bigger is not better. Hate the giant ones.

I'm gonna mention this.  Thank you.

My son loves BWs now that he's on traditional wings. But seriously he had intestinal issues for a couple of years.  He wanted to give it another shot after a year or so hiatus because his buddies love that place.  No issues in the few times we've been there since he switched to traditional wings.

Btw their fries with salt and vinager season is fantastic.

No, not necessary.  Just got a mental image of you being the protagonist in that pie eating contest in "Stand By Me"...NTTAWWT.
My new goal for the summer is to get a local restaurant to run a wing-eating contest.  Need to go work my contact list.

I separate the wing parts and brine them for an hour or two. Dry and set them on a rack in the fridge for a while to really dry them out - overnight is good if you have the time and foresight, which I usually don't.  The brining gives you some leeway so you can blast them on the grill without drying them out. The goal is crispy skin but moist cooked meat inside.  Before grilling, I add a little pepper or other spice, but no more salt.

You can do this on a webber or gas grill. I grill on pretty high heat - probably 350-400 - indirect, flipping frequently for about 15-20 minutes. Lots of wood smoke.  I want all the skins pretty well browned and even a little black doesn't hurt. Then toss them in a large bowl of the sauce, which for me is a half bottle of Franks, half stick of butter and a good squirt of sriracha, heated on the stove.  When the wings are all completely coated in the sauce, I put them back on the grill directly over the coals for another 5 minutes or so. My method is a slight variation of Meathead's: http://amazingribs.com/recipes/chicken_turkey_duck/buffalo_wings_on_the_grill.html.

 
Got BWW tonight (spicy garlic,  Thai Curry and Hot).  Forgot to request well done.    Still good but I like them a tad more crispy.  Swimming in sauce too

 
:lmao: I'd know that bartop anywhere.  

ETA - I've never actually had their wings.  Friend of mine swears by em.  I usually just go there to drink.  Great beer list and bartenders.  Beer Club 2nd Wednesday of every month, come on down.
They do have a great beer list. And I've been there during beer club, just never participated. Might have to one month.
