Just Wingin' it: Batch 4

These were an imitation of Garlic Parmesan Wings that we had in Sacramento (see post titled Sacramento). Our wings were baked in the oven while rubbed in cayenne powder. After done in the oven they were fry ed in secret hot sauce and topped with minced garlic and Parmesan.

Spicy - 7 (good heat, needed a little water)

Flavor- 6 (good, but was a bit overpowering)

Crunch- 3 (needed more frying time)

Moist- 6 (better than some, but meat was overdone :( )

Size- 8 (Good size perfect for heat)

These were not as good as the ones in Sacramento, but they weren't a bad imitation.

Just Wingin' It: Batch 3

These were a risk and in my opinion, we lost. We took wings and put a rather complicated BBQ rub and then sauced with honey and hot sauce.

Spicy - 7 (hot but not that hot)

Flavor - 5 (lots of it, but not concentrated, way to much going on)

Crunch - 7 (good but kind of flacky)

Moist - 5 (moist at first then they dried)

Size - 4 (they needed to be bigger)

Not the best success.. But you win some you loose some.

Mad Dash: Pizza and Wings

3 levels: Mild, Hot and 100% pain (when they say pain they mean it). With each level comes five or six different flavors. We asked for the hottest ones they had (100% pain, flavor: habenero and honey) they were coated with honey, so you could eat them, and then came the heat un believable heat.

100% Pain: Habenero & Honey:

Spicy: 11 out of 10 (killer)

Flavor: 5 (was killed (See above))

Crunch: 2 (none, but at least it was moist (see below))

Moist: 8

Size: 7 (kind of small)


Hot: Habenero & Honey:

Spicy: 8 (really tolerable good)

Flavor: 7 (good)

Crunch: 2

Moist: 9

Size: 7


Overall they were good, unique... But if your going to try them have a half a gallon of milk on hand... You'll need it.

End Zone

Previously my favorite wings in town... Until Bella's. These wings can stand for themselves especially with the ' Good Luck' hot sauce.

Spicy - 9 (Just about perfect, much hotter than most)

Flavor - 7 (Some of the best in town for a reason)

Crunch - 6 (Not quite as crunchy as we like)

Moist - 9 (Your not going to find any more moist)

Size - 8 (Small, but packed a wallop!)

Pretty much amazing, the heats are one down (so medium = mild, hot = medium, good luck = HOT!).

Sierra Nevada

These were really good, not as good as Bella's, (see previous) but great!

Spicy - 7 (Good heat, not balanced)

Flavor - 8 (Even, balanced etc.)

Crunch - 9 (Great deep fry batter, oh so good, light... perfect)

Moist - 7

Size - 6 (average, nothing special)

Ever in Chico check these out!

Denny's

These were surprisingly good! I was expecting throw in the microwave wings, but they were okay.

Spicy - 5 (Not super hot but ok)

Flavor - 5 (Okay, but a little lacking)

Crunch - 4 (Good, but no breading)

Moist - 3.5 (Dry Meat)

Size - 6 (Good not unusual)

There not bad! Not great either, but I was surprised.

Woodstock's Pizza

These wings are alot like most pizza places hot with little texture.

Spicy - 7 (good, not killer)

Flavor - 5 (little bit)

Crunch - 0 (NO crunch, maybe just a different style or something)

Moist - 7 (really moist, one plus :)

Size - 6.5 (Good size, but not enough flavor to judge)

Here are some steriotypical wings that could use some improvements.

Just Wingin' it: Batch 2

Wow! These used the same ingrediant as batch 1 plus a flour, chipotle, cayane powder and salt mix and they were AMAZINGER than batch 1!!!!!!
Here ya are:

Spicy - 9 (GREAT but not hot enough)

Flavor - 8 (tender flavorful, the breaing stole some of it)

Crunch - 9 (Crispy, crunchy a little too thick)

Moist - 7 (The breading stole alot of the moistness, but some was left)

Size - 7.5 (a little too big)

REALLY good I'd sell 'em to ya but I'm not sure if we can get them again :).

Just Wingin' it: Batch 1

We decided with all our wing tastin' we better come up with some great ones of our own.
Batch 1 has no breading and is coated with butter and Louisiana: the perfect hot suace. It's SUPER HOT incase your looking at getting some.
Here's the rating for Batch 1:

Spice - 9.99999 (AMAZING but almost to hot)

Flavor - 6 (good, but kinda killed by the flavor)

Crunch - 7 (Crispy, but it wasn't cruchy :( )

Moist - 6.5 (Inside was juicy and tender, outside was a little dry)

Size - 6 (Just about right)

I think it was good for a first attempt! And for all you hot sauce fans out there I definately recomend Loiusiana (for full title see above).

Madison Bear Garden

Wow! A unique wing; not only did we get a WHOLE wing but alao a sauceless wing.

Spice - 3 (spicy, but not hot :( )

Flavor - 4 (meat very flavorful, no outside flavor)

Crunch - 8 (VERY crunchy just about perfect)

Moist - 4.5 (meat moist, outside like a desert)

Size - 9 (great! I had to sepparate my own wing (that's great)

If you want a one of a kind wing try this one.

Celestino's Pizza (Chico, CA)

A small new york pizza place thats got some great wings. :)

Bella's Sports Pub (Chico, CA)

Last night we went to this really small sports bar in downtown Chico, CA. When we got there and asked about their wings, they said 'we have the best in Chico!' In short they lived up to their claim; rating is below.

Spice - 7 (They could've been hotter)

Flavor - 8 (It was good, better than the spice)

Crunch - 9 (AMAZING, not thick, but crunchy)

Moist - 9 (Super moist, all sauced over)

Size - 7 (They were a little too big for the flavor)

Our Requirements

SPICE - Is it hot enough???

FLAVOR - Does the spice kill the flavor or the meat? Does it still have flavor???

CRUNCH - Is it crispy???

MOIST - Is the meat still moist? Does the crunch absorb the moisture???

SIZE - Is it big enough :)? Does the size accommodate the flavor???


When we review them I'll give 10 points for each catagory. We'll see how it works!!

Our Quest!

Me and my dad have always been hot wing fanatics, and my mom and I have always been travel bugs... So we decided to bring them together! No matter where we go, whether a new restuant, new state, or new country, we try the hot wings.

I started my first blog a month ago, and I decided to tell you about the hot wings my family and I get to try, which ones are the best and the hottest! Hopefully we'll try them in enough places for you to be able to try them no matter where you are.
