Wing Street Revisted: A Review

2009-10-24T09:43:00.000-07:00

The delivery guy sounded like he had swine flu, so I was very suspicious to start. The cardboard package that the wings came in were damp so two things crossed my mind:

1. They've been sitting under a heat lamp.

2. They were so piping hot when they were put in there that the steam dampened the box.

I think they were in a heat lamp, were piping hot, dipped in the wing sauce, then put in the box.

On to the wings. My experience with "fast food" wings have been very negative. Places like Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns etc usually do a half ass job. One main problem that they all have is that their wings are slimy. Now I'm not against sticky wings, the wing sauce should be thick enough to coat the wing. On the other hand, a molasses thick sauce is undesirable.

How do wings become slimy you ask? Well, the basic wing sauce starts out as a hot sauce mixed with melted butter. The sauce can be any type of hot sauce, Tabasco, Frank's Red Hot, Red Devil, you get my gist. The melted butter adds thickness that helps the sauce hold on the wings. I actually don't know why they become sticky, but whenever I see them, those wings scream "mass produced, artificially preserved wing sauce."

There is nothing wrong with flavors having a sticky factor, such as honey bbq. However I demand that my traditional hot wings with a cayenne pepper base not be overly sticky. These Buffalo Burnin' Hot Wings (14 of them) were just on the edge of being too sticky.

The spice was very good, I enjoyed the heat after I destroyed 14 wings. It was by no margin the hottest wings I've ever had, but they were a good hot and considering how wing deprived Fort Worth, Texas actually is, it is nice that decent wings can be delivered to your front door.

I would definitely recommend Buffalo Burnin' Hot from Pizza Hut/Wing Street. I just have a hard time thinking that the people putting the pizzas in the oven are also handy with a deep fryer for chicken wings.

Wing Street Part II

2009-10-23T17:03:00.000-07:00

I religiously listen to Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket here in DFW. Wing Street has been flooding their ad time with spots starring Drew Cerza. Who is this Drew Cerza? I think I remember his name somehow being tied to a Buffalo Wing festival up in Buffalo, NY> I'm not sure, nor do I know why he is considered the Wing King. I'll let him have that title of Wing King. I'll take Wing Dictator, or perhaps Wing God, those both sound more powerful anyways. I'll figure out who this guy is, and why he thinks he knows anything about wings and get back to you all.

Also I'm a sucker for repeated advertising and I just ordered 14 of Pizza Hut/Wing Street's hottest wings.

Pictures and thoughts coming soon.

Wing Stop

I'm getting wingstop today I think or maybe this other place called wing shack. I'll take pictures and eat them.

Bling Bling pre-planning

2009-04-22T13:30:00.000-07:00

I'm compiling a list of possible wing flavors for BBCW to sample for when it opens (in the next 4 years). Here are some wing flavors/sauces I'm going to experiment making over the next couple of months to perfect our base wing sauce. I'd like some ideas of ingredients/flavors for wings that would be unique to BBCW. Note I've already included a bacon flavored wing.

First, any recommendations on the pepper to be used? Moss wing sauces contain cayenne pepper, which is a very solid choice, however my brother suggested some crazy pepper he has growing in his man-garden right now called piquin.

These will be our base wing sauces that will only change spiciness with the addition of more chili peppers.
Mild
Medium (original)
Hot

Blood Wings (hottest of the hot, comparable to nuclear at wingzone, fire in the hole at pluckers, and atomic at wingstop, but better)

Lemon Pepper
Bacon Flavor (wrapped in bacon or covered in bacon salt & pepper)
Louisiana/Cajun (with a Louisiana hot sauce obviously, it must differentiate from the mild, medium and hot flavors)
Garlic
Teryiaki
Spicy asian (wasabi perhaps?)
The Cheddar Wing

Ribs

2009-04-09T08:53:00.000-07:00

I bought a new smoker, it's pretty sweet. I'm breaking it in this Friday with some racks of ribs. I'm also going to throw some chicken wings in there and have smoked chicken wings. Pictures and video's will soon follow.

Massey's Chicken Fried Steak

2009-03-11T09:24:00.000-07:00

I went to Massey's yesterday because I've heard claims they have the best CFS in Texas. I was supremely disappointed in what I had for lunch yesterday. The sign outside of the restaurant says "Massey's: Chicken Fried Steak"

There should be some sort of governing body that regulates outrageous claims of chicken fried steak. The meat was stretchy and the breading didn't hold on to the steak. The gravy tasted like instant gravy out of the grocery store.

Maybe my expectations were set too high, or maybe I know a good CFS from a bad CFS. Massey's CFS wasn't even the best on the street.

They didn't even have chicken wings.

It was a sad lunch day for me.

Best Chicken Fried Steak - Fort Worth

2009-03-10T09:32:00.001-07:00

I'm heading to Massey's today for lunch in Fort Worth. Some claim it has the best chicken fried steak in Texas. I'm skeptical, but I can't pass up a good CFS. While this is a chicken wing site, CFS is very much a brother in arms with the chicken wing.
I will provide pictures/details and some impressions of Massey's later today, and if they have chicken wings, bet that I will order them as well.

Superbowl Chicken Wing Extravaganza

2009-02-05T12:27:00.001-08:00

I said I was going to wait until Sunday to post this but I lied.

Superbowl XLIII was a great day for me and the chicken wing. I'll give you all a brief description of how my day went with pictures.

I’ve been dreaming about Superbowl wings for months. Here’s how we did them.

Batch 1 Sticky Guinness Chicken Wings: My friend Adam wanted to make sticky Guinness wings, using this recipe from Recipezaar.com.
• 1 kg chicken wings, trim off tip and cut through each wing at the joint
• 10 shallots, peeled and pounded to a fine paste in a pestle and mortar
• 2 tablespoons black peppercorns, finely crushed
• 4 tablespoons dark soy sauce (not the sweet variety)
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 4 teaspoons sugar
• 320 ml Guinness stout
Combine everything except for Guinness in a large bowl and mix well. Leave to marinate about 15 minutes. Drain off marinade and reserve.
Heat 4 tbs oil in a wok or deep pan till smoking hot. Add chicken and stir over high heat till browned. Pour in reserved marinade and continue stirring till sticky. Keep heat high.
Pour in Guinness and bring to the boil. Lower heat and simmer till liquid evaporates and chicken is cooked through and coated with thick and sticky gravy, but not falling off bones. Stir, scraping bottom and sides often to prevent sticking and scorching.
Results: These wings were tasty, and very sticky. I am more of a fan of spicy wings rather than flavorful wings however I recommend these wings as a unique alternative standard wings.

Batch 2 Bling Bling Chicken Wings.
For my batch of wings I split them up between Stubb’s Inferno Wing Sauce and good old Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I opted not to fry them, but to bake them. I really only like frying homemade wings if a deep fryer is readily available. Stir frying wings in a pan can be troublesome and annoying. Most likely you will not pay attention to them and burn them, or cook them unevenly. If you pay enough attention then it is perfectly fine to stir fry them, but remember, your not in a Chinese restaurant, your cooking chicken wings.

This recipe is simple, delicious, and has been passed down by wing enthusiasts for thousands of years.

1. Sprinkle salt and pepper on thawed chicken wings (you may put a small amount of olive oil to cover them if you please)
2. Preheat oven to 375 to 415.
3. Put the wings on a cookie sheet without the sauce and bake them till they start turning gold.
4. The Stubb's Inferno Wing Sauce is good to go, just pour in a bowl. For the Frank’s sauce, you need to melt some butter then mix in a bowl to get the right consistency.
5. Take the wings out after they begin turning gold and a little crispy.
6. Toss half the wings in Stubb’s Inferno sauce, the other in Frank's Red Hot Sauce.
7. Put the wings back on the cookie sheet and leave them in there for just a little longer. Until they are baked crispy.
8. Take them out and sauce those bad boys up and you’ve got some kickin’ chicken wings.

Mmmmmm, Tasty

Chicken Wing Black Friday

Bacon Stupidity Month

In the likes of Super Size Me. This guy is eating only bacon for one month. I can only imagine he'll gain some sort of superpower from accomplishing this.

Whoa...

2009-02-02T13:40:00.000-08:00

I found this gem on foxnews.com

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,485926,00.html

PHILADELPHIA — In a gut-busting display of championship eating, a man nicknamed Super Squibb has won Philadelphia's Wing Bowl by downing 203 chicken wings in about 20 minutes.

For his efforts, 23-year-old John Squibb of Berlin, N.J., gets a car, a $7,500 diamond ring and a crown of miniature chickens. And maybe a case of indigestion.

Thousands attend the early morning gorge-fest held every year on the Friday before the Super Bowl. The contest is sponsored by sports-talk station WIP-AM. It also features scantily clad "Wingettes" and a cast of sickened contestants.

Professional eaters were not allowed in this year's Wing Bowl, but organizers say they'll be back next year.

Richard "Not Rich" Razzi came in second by eating 180 wings.

Superbowl Chicken Wing Rundown

2009-01-30T09:07:00.000-08:00

Alright so you are going to have chicken wings during the Superbowl, that's a fact. What kind of chicken wings, from where, how to cook them? I'll give you a quick rundown of do's and don'ts when it comes to chicken wings for the superbowl.

1. DO take the time to make your own chicken wings. You will be surprised how delicious they will be, plus it gives you an excuse to drink Sunday morning while you fry/bake/grill up a couple of test batches with different sauces etc.

2. DO order wings from chicken wing establishments whose main dish is the chicken wing. Here are a few of places highly recommended by BBCW.

Pluckers Wing Factory (Only in Texas and the South East)
Wing Stop (Pretty much everywhere)
Wing Zone (Texas and the South East)

2. DO NOT order chicken wings from a pizza chain like Dominos, Pizza Hut, or Papa Johns. Not only will you be the target of insults and laughter from your friends, but those wings are horrible.

3. DO NOT get duped into the Wing Street concept Pizza Hut is pushing right now. I ordered 20 of them late last year and although I did eat all 20 of them, they were way too sugary and tasted like poop.

4. DO NOT order chicken wings from the local pizza/italian joint. Although "Joe's Pizza" or "Mario's Pizza" has good pizza, their wings are halfassed and usually have no sauce on them. They also might not be able to handle orders of 200 or more, but they have better wings than the pizza chains.

5. DO have more than one flavor of chicken wings, however the main flavor should be some sort of buffalo style. The ratio should be 50-60% buffalo to 40-50% other flavors. I myself will be using a ratio of 80% buffalo (including varying degrees of spiciness) to 20% other flavors, mainly lemon pepper.

6. DO NOT have mild wings or sauceless wings. You might as well wear a dress to your Superbowl party.

7. DO NOT bread your wings. This is a terrible mistake that Hooters has made popular. If you want breaded wings, go get Popeyes and order a bucket of fried chicken and douse them in Frank's Red Hot Sauce, now that's good.

8. DO NOT order boneless chicken wings. Even considering these abominations is blasphemy in the chicken wing world. Hey, wikipedia agrees with me. Now maybe I edited wikipedia and put those disparaging remarks about boneless wings in there, but maybe I didn't.

9. DO NOT think that drinking wine and champagne will complement your chicken wings. You will look like a sissy. The Boons Farm Exempt Rule applies here. Boons Farm, especially Strawberry Hill, mixed with chicken wings, creates a dangerous/awesome combination that will impress everyone and possibly lead to a blackout.

10. DO drink an enormous amount of beer on Sunday with your wings. If you are waking up to prepare and cook the wings, then you have a head start. In college we would drink at least 24 beers during the game itself, so if a beer isn't in your hand, then you have lost at life. Also, if you have a seasonal beer/micro brew/wussy beer, you deserve a swift kick in the nuts.

11. DO have an ample supply ranch or blue cheese for the wings at the party. Personally, I like both and I sometimes double dip depending on the type of wing I'm eating.

12. DO have pounds of freshly cut celery and carrots sticks.

13. DO stack all your chicken wing bones on a plate in front of you and try to get them as high as possible. Not only will this gain the respect of your peers as you have a giant tower of chicken bones, but any ladies around you will certainly be impressed.

14. DO NOT pace yourself or think about your health during this event. Chicken wing prices are on the rise, eat as much as possible.

15. DO order/make more than you think you and your friends will eat, there's nothing better than an early morning chicken wing to chew on.

16. And finally, DO NOT order chicken wings and then claim you made them, your guests will most likely attack you. See the video below to see what will happen to you. "Sir, do you realize you aren't eating homemade chicken wings but Wing Street chicken wings?"

If you all have any more dos and don'ts about chicken wings, please comment.

Eat chicken wings.

More superbowl notes

2009-01-30T09:02:00.000-08:00

The Superbowl is a sacred time for chicken wing enthusiast. Here is a snapshot from a deadspin article about Superbowl parties. http://deadspin.com/5141576/twenty-rules-for-your-super-bowl-party-jamboroo-xliii?skyline=true&s=x

It's a great read if you are throwing a party, and a little more than half way down you will read about chicken wings under "Super Bowl Snack Of The Week."

Wings. Always wings for the Super Bowl Jamboroo. Have you ever been to a Super Bowl party where they order wings, only they order wings that are just completely fucking wrong? “Well, we got teriyaki wings and zesty Cajun wings!” Excuse me? You WHAT? Those are not wings. Those are an abortion. Get the classic buffalo style wings or go sit on a railroad spike.

Well said.

Chili's Wings

2008-06-04T17:51:00.000-07:00

Everyone loves Chili's. Seriously I don't think there is one person in this great land of ours that can say they dislike everything on the Chili's menu. There's a reason it's so good, everything is soaked and cooked in butter. I'm not hating on Chili's in anyway because I do understand butter is the essence of good food.

Butter is like ranch or hot sauce, but instead of putting it on after the meal is cooked for an extra zest, you put it on before you cook so it is extra tasty.

Wait, I'd be lying if I said that I've never put butter on food before and after it's been cooked. So butter is pretty much the alpha male of food. The strong and hearty use it in some form or another on all food and the weak do the opposite. But this isn't about butter, this is about Chili's chicken wings.

Chili's has two types of wings, but only one flavor. They have boneless wings (people who don't use butter usually like boneless wings) and regular wings. The wings are listed in the appetizer section, this doesn't bother me as Chili's main dish is the baby back ribs, not the wings.

Since they are appetizers they come in small portions of six. If I were to go to Chili's and eat wings for a meal I would have to ask for three orders to make myself feel good.

The wings are crispy with a generic "hot" flavored wing sauce. They call it "tangy", I'm not sure what that's about but when I think of something being tangy I think of a food with a fruity or sour aftertaste. It's not a bad wing sauce, just not the greatest. I seem to be saying that a lot lately about wing sauces. I think it's because there is a giant, black, void of wing joints in Fort Worth, I literally have to hunt for chicken wings, a sport that I'm (not surprisingly) very good at.

So this review isn't so much a review of specific chicken wings at a certain restaurant, I think it's more of a shift of focus for Bling Bling. Unless I make road trips to wing joints, which will happen, my next several reviews will be of chain restaurants like Chili's.

Will this make Bling Bling better or worse? It will definitely be worse for me since I'm going to have to brave some absolutely horrible wings (I'm looking at you, Applebee's) in the name of the chicken wing. However on the other hand it should be pretty funny reading.

Would I eat Chili's wings again? Yes I would. In the land of the chicken wings, the man with the least crappy chicken wings is king.

Whoa, these guys must really love their chicken wings. I'm not sure how I would react, but I probably wouldn't beat the guy with a beer bottle, but then again, some people's love for chicken wings can go to extreme levels.

THE Chicken Wing Review: (These are no sauceless wings)

2008-03-18T16:04:00.000-07:00

The Bling Bling Chicken Wing Chicken Wing Review #1

When the idea of Bling Bling Chicken Wing came around more than five years ago, it was simply going to be a chicken wing joint. The idea of BBCW became stale. We wanted to achieve this goal, but how? I realized that for this dream to come true, me and my friends must take baby steps to obtain the ultimate goal. This blog is one of those baby steps. I'm not rating this on the standard review criteria because anything we cook is gold, and it wouldn't be fair to the wing joints I review.

Here’s a quick breakdown on the techniques we used for our wings.

We went to Albertsons and bought a pack of fifteen chicken wings. Then we separated the wing from the drumstick with shears, making thirty pieces of chicken wing delight. For fifteen of the wings we decided on Lemon Pepper, and the other fifteen wings Hot.

We used concentrated lemon juice, lemon pepper, and an egg to keep everything together. There are many ways one can cook chicken wings: grill them, deep fry them, pan fry them, bake them, or even microwave them. The lemon pepper must be pan fried.

Warning: pan frying wings means hot grease, and a lot of it. “Stick it in my wing” will forever be scarred because of the boiling grease. It literally went every where, on the floor, on the walls, on his hands and in his eyes. It was really funny.

The baked wings were surprisingly the best. We put a dash of pepper and garlic powder on them and threw them in the oven at 425 degrees for 45 minutes. I began salivating while watching them turn crispy golden brown. As you can see by the pictures, they look delicious.

Then we made the sauce. This part was very simple and very tasty: a stick of butter (which goes well with any dish) and a half cup of Frank’s Red Hot. After the timer for the oven beeped, we dipped the freshly baked chicken wings into the Frank’s wing sauce.

Once the wings touched my lips it was heaven. So many emotions ran through my body: happiness, sadness, excitement, depression, but mostly, love for the chicken wing.

Conclusion: You don’t realize how special chicken wings really are until you cook them yourself. These weren’t the hottest chicken wings I’ve ever tasted, but they tasted amazing because we did it ourselves.

As the blonde in the KFC Sauceless Wings commercial says, “Everything I knew about hot wings has changed. In this new wing world anything is possible.”

Indeed hot blonde lady, indeed.

The Great Debate: Ranch V. Blue Cheese

2008-03-10T19:18:00.000-07:00

The Great Debate of our Time: Ranch versus Blue Cheese

Yes, this is a ranch dressing fountain.

I’ve been pondering writing about Ranch and Blue Cheese for a while. This is a very controversial topic in the wing community that divides wing purists all over the US. Now it is time for Bling Bling to add its own opinion.

It seems that the battle between ranch and blue cheese divides the country geographically. Up north past the Mason-Dixon line blue cheese is more popular, while on the other hand ranch is more popular south of the MD line. So as you can see, this battle is as old as the civil war itself. Both ranch and blue cheese are older than the modern chicken wing by hundreds, if not thousands of years.

It is assumed that the modern chicken wing was created in Buffalo at the Anchor Bar. I don’t deny that they were perhaps the first people to claim the chicken wing as their invention, but I find it hard to believe that only one establishment in America figured out that chicken and hot sauce go together. That being said, Anchor Bar must be given their props for popularizing the “Buffalo Wing.”

Here’s a break down of the two powerhouses in the chicken wing condiment world.

Ranch: Made in America from an assortment of ingredients including buttermilk, mayo, garlic, sour cream and possibly gallons of butter if you know how to make it right. It goes good on pretty much anything: pizza, salad, burgers, chicken, I’ve even tried to deep fry ranch but I failed miserably.

Blue Cheese: First made in France. People put it on salads, crumble it on steaks and all sorts of things. It smells very bad.

So what do I think?

Generally I prefer the taste of Ranch over Blue Cheese. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate blue cheese, there are actually many times when I can’t even tell the difference b/c the restaurant I’m eating at waters down their ranch and blue cheese; and on a spicy chicken wing, they have the same effect by cooling the fire in your mouth.

I put ranch on pretty much everything in college and so I’m kind of burnt out on it. Any real wing enthusiast will tell you that a good chicken wing doesn’t need ranch, blue cheese, or any sort of condiment to dip in at all. If anything, a good chicken wing needs and extra side of the hot wing sauce to make sure every square centimeter is covered in delicious wing sauce.

So instead of arguing which one is better, I’m going to list situations of when it is ok to dip your wings in ranch or blue cheese. I’m beginning to think of ranch and blue cheese on the same level as A1 Steak Sauce: do you want to put A1 Steak Sauce on a $40 steak at a steak house? NO, you put A1 on crap that comes from Applebees (don’t get me started about Applebees). The same applies to wings. If you want to step up your wing eating a notch or just don’t want to be laughed at by wing purists, then take my advice seriously

It is okay to dip your wings in ranch or blue cheese if:

1. You are trying to accomplish some sort of personal goal. For example: breaking the amount of chicken wings (of the hottest flavor of course) you can eat. Perhaps you might win a prize or some recognition, like getting on the wall on Plucker’s or something. Exception: If the establishment prohibits you to use ranch or blue cheese to break a record.

2. If you think that no one around you is knowledgeable about wings, therefore you can get away with it.

3. If the wings are such poor quality, that you have to use ranch or blue cheese to cover up the taste.

4. If you are trying new a flavor of wings, but you are suspicious about how they might taste.

5. If you are French and spell blue cheese bleu cheese. I take this one back; it’s never ok to spell it bleu.

I will admit that when ever I go to a new chicken wing joint, or if I order chicken wings from a chain like Chilis or Hooter’s, I almost always order ranch because of number 3 and 4. There are some places where you just don’t know how the wings will turnout.

So in essence, ranch and blue cheese are considered back ups in my mind, please don’t spoil a good wing by smothering it in ranch or blue cheese.

Which do you prefer?

Home Style Chicken Wings

2008-03-05T07:39:00.000-08:00

In the next night or two I'll be cooking up a dish of my own chicken wings with various flavors. I'll be using the oven and I'll also be pan frying them. I don't know how to pan fry so I'm reading up on it right now.

The KFC Sauceless Hot Wings Review

2008-02-19T17:00:00.000-08:00

So I’m sure everyone has seen the KFC Sauceless Hot Wings commercial that has been airing for the past couple of months. “Crunchy on the out side, spicy on the inside” it claims, but does it hold up to my standards?

The commercial starts out with a bunch of hot ladies and two random guys around a table, then one lady bites into a wing and is surprised by the spiciness without the mess. This good looking blonde has an epiphany how, and I quote, “Everything I knew about hot wings has changed. In this new wing world anything is possible.” Immediately spare dude number one turns to her and says, “Will you go out with me?” and the lady says yes.

Trust me, if eating chicken wings got me more women, I would already have several blockbuster action movies devoted to chicken wings where the main character is Bling Bling, a chicken wing car, a chicken wing mattress (yes JC, it can become a reality), and a chicken wing dispenser to replace the ice dispenser that’s build into the front of my fridge, and of course a couple of Bling Bling Chicken Wing establishments in certain cities.

These aren’t chicken wings, buffalo wings, hot wings or any type of wings in the traditional sense. These are pretty much miniature pieces of spicy fried chicken one can find at most fried chicken places. That being said, these aren’t terrible tasting. I like fried chicken, most people do, but I’d rather have large pieces of spicy, fried chicken, than little pieces.

As you can tell, I am deep in thought at this moment.

So here’s how I rate it

Menu: KFC serves fried chicken

Service: It’s a fast food restaurant, so service sucks.

Atmosphere: If homeless people equals great atmosphere, then they score and A+

Chicken Wings: Do I need to say anymore? It’s fried chicken.

Overall Score: 0.0

If I were reviewing midget fried chicken then it would get a higher score, but these aren’t chicken wings.

I will not go back, I hate KFC anyways.

Update:

I searched for KFC Sauceless Wings on you tube and this came up, it's some overweight kid eating wings like a madman, it's pretty funny.

Wing Zone Delivery

2008-02-02T13:55:00.000-08:00

It's Saturday, and I'm glued to the couch watching movies that I normally would never watch (I have been quoting Major Payne). I decided the best pre-curser to Super Bowl Sunday where I will plan on eating a lot of wings and watch TV all day is to eat a lot off wings and watch TV all day. The first place that comes to mind is Wing Zone. I'm in the zone, and want some wings. Instinctively I call Wing Zone.

Judy was very helpful in notifying me of the daily special before I had to ask: 20 wings, one large appetizer, and a 2-Liter for $18.99. Sold.

Hot dammit! I asked for extra ranch! Beyond that, I am only given one packet the size of a shot glass for 20 wings. Included was an ample amount of celery sticks and a serving of cheese fries more than adequate for two men to share. Excited about my celery sticks and fries, I am once again reminded that I only have a teaspoon of ranch for all of these things and I am saddenned.

The wings, in all their glory, look beautiful.

Wait: They said it would take an hour, and it took 50 mintues. While I am pleased that it arrived before the ETA, 50 minutes is a long time to wait for wings.

6/10

Menu: There are 25 flavors to choose from ranging on a 1-5 scale in terms of heat index with 1 being mild and 5 being nuclear. They also have various appetizers, burgers, etc.--- basically items that all can be defined as 'bar food'.

8/10

Atmosphere: I'm at my house, watching football, drinking free beer (that I paid for), and not wearing shoes or a shirt.

10/10

Chicken Wings: Yum yum gimme sum. I don't speak when these wings are in front of me because it hinders me from eating them. These wings are the chicken's leap towards immortality. They are well sized, and the hot flavored wing sauce rocks my world. Once the wings are demolished, the remaining pool of wing sauce has plenty of utility and compensates for the pithy about of ranch supplied as a dipping substitute. 8.5/10

Overall score: 8.9999

There may be better wings out there, but for being a phone call away- Wing Zone is hard to beat. However, in order to attain a 9 or 10, a wing must be extremely special. Part of our goal at Bling Bling is to find such a wing. Wing Zone is just shy of that. In conclusion, Wing Zone is awesome. I love Wing Zone. And so do you.

Bling Wing Hall of Fame

2008-01-30T12:55:00.000-08:00

A new addition to Bling Bling Chicken Wing is the Bling Wing Hall of Fame. Each month, a new member will be inducted to honor individuals of noteworthy achievement involving chicken wings. Such members include Troy Aikman, Bill Swerski's Superfans, and our founder Michael McCown.

Bling Bling Chicken Wing is proud to announce this month's inductee: Byron Parker Chaddick.
Byron was born on August 11, 1985. Parker's esteem for the chicken wing started at a very young age when his mother ran out of baby food and milk. As a substitute, she pureed some chicken wings and filled young Parker's bottles with wing sauce. Throughout his life, Parker has carried on this tradition of pureeing chicken wings and drinking wing sauce. His celebration of the chicken wing is magnanimous. He is also a member of the Hot Pocket, Bagel Bite, Popcorn, and Widespread Panic Groupie Hall of Fame.

Case History: It was a late night in the town of Austin, when a Jesse Lind decided he could use some late night food. Everyone knows that the single greatest amenity that the city has to offer is Wing Zone's late night chicken wing delivery service, and Jesse is no exception. As he waited for his succulent chicken treasure to arrive, the night got the best of Jesse and he fell asleep. By the time the wings arrived, he was unable to muster up the energy to indulge. He did, however, place the bag of manna on his coffee table so that he enjoy the breakfast of champions in the morning. Unbeknown to Jesse, wing enthusiast Parker Chaddick was in the house. It took a few minutes for the aroma to reach the third floor, but as soon as it did those chicken wings were as good as poop. Parker's eyes abruptly opened as he was sleeping and he violently threw the covers off his naked body. He then proceeded down four flights of stairs on his hands and knees at light speed before he came to the box of wings. A lesser man would have been discouraged by the fact that Jesse was asleep on the couch less one foot away from his food. Not Parker. He had his golden ticket and would be damned if he didn't get to visit Jesse Lind's chicken wing factory. Parker sat right next to a sleeping Jesse and devoured twenty five wings in a matter of three minutes. Once feeding time was finished, Parker retreated back upstairs and immediately went to sleep.

The next morning Jesse awoke and saw a pool of wing sauce and bones scattered across his coffee table. "Wow, I don't remember eating that last night", he thought. "But surley", Jesse reasoned, "no one would walk into my room and eat all of my food in front of me while I was sleeping". Satisfied, Jesse went on with his normal life. It wasn't until two weeks later that Parker (accidentally) revealed the truth

The moral of the story is this: a true WingMan cannot and will not let a single chicken wing remain uneaten for more than five minutes. Much like an alcoholic cannot stop drinking, a WingMan cannot stopping eating*. Congratulations Parker Chaddick! Bling Bling Chicken Wing salutes you!

Buffalo Wild Wings

2008-01-29T17:27:00.000-08:00

Buffallo Wild Wings

1525 William D Tate Avenue

Grapevine, Tx

So a coworker and I were driving around crazy Denton County during lunch trying to find something to eat. Our first restaurant we wanted to eat at was a Bone Daddy’s that was about 15 minutes from where we were working that day.

Unfortunately the Bone Daddy’s location we went to had a 40 minute wait, which really surprised me because it’s not that great of a restaurant. It’s several notches below from Chili’s but better than the black hole that is Applebee’s. But not too far from Bone Daddy’s was a sign for Buffalo Wild Wings, our lunch choice had been made.

The establishment was empty, it was eerie, the plasmas and flat screens were extremely big and loud, but there were only about a dozen people in there. I was thinking this might be ok because then I could eat my wings in peace, but on the other hand, everyone would be critiquing my wing eating techniques since they obviously recognized who I was. Once we walked in the wait staff leapt at us like hyenas scavenging…… for business.

BWW has a good sized menu, with a wide variety of flavors; I opted for the “Wild” flavor and the “Garlic Hot” flavor.

Wild flavor is touted as their second hottest flavor on the menu, it was OK but nothing spectacular, but the Garlic Hot was out of this world. Beer was also part of my lunch on this particular Friday.

Menu: Large menu, I didn’t pay attention to anything other than the wings, maybe next time.

Service: Good service considering we were some of the only people in the restaurant. Our waitress was alright, but she didn’t have much of a personality and didn’t get my “lemon pepper” joke, not many people do.

Atmosphere: Tons of big screen TVs showing rodeo footage from the Fort Worth Rodeo, but no one was there so it was kind of sad.

Chicken wings: The wings were good, about medium sized with an even mix of drums and wings (I prefer wings). Also, you can choose how ever many sauces you want on your wings. I had 10 wings with two sauces, many places only allow one sauce per 10-15 wings. Props to them.

Overall score: 8.0

It takes one hell of a wing joint to get a 10 and I won’t give one out until I find the perfect wing. I have my favorite wings but nothing I consider a 10. BWW, for a new chain, is pretty good, I’m sure if Bone Daddy’s wasn’t handing them their ass every day during lunch then it could have been more festive.

Will I go back? Yes, if they have convenient locations. Out here in FW there aren’t any unless you want to drive to the mid cities.

New Format

2008-01-24T07:25:00.000-08:00

I changed the format of the BBCW to represent a more wingy atmosphere, I'm not completely convinced I like it, but I'll know after a few updates.

This is going to be a big chicken wing weekend so there will be plenty of fun stuff to read next week.

Review criteria

2008-01-22T18:47:00.000-08:00

I’ve had several people ask me to make a set criteria for my reviews of chicken wings so here they are, each with a small description.

Menu: Does the menu have anything else other than wings? Does it have good beer?

Service: Self explanatory

Atmosphere: Big screen TVs? Dancing ladies? Stuff like that.

Chicken wings: Are there many styles and varieties of wings? Also, this is where I will discuss the actual wings I ate or what my friends ate.

Overall score: A score based on a 1 to 10 scale for the overall experience had had with the wing establishment. A “would I ever go back” question is answered here as well.

Also I’d like to talk about a flavor-heat index. I’m still trying to figure out how to put this into numbers. It will probably be out of 100 total points for flavor and heat.

I’ll update when I figure out the flavor-heat index, if you all have any suggestions for more categories or for the flavor-heat index let me now.

"Snacking on a wing and a prayer"

2008-01-18T11:12:00.000-08:00

Here's a fun little story about chicken wings in Chicago a friend sent me today.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080104/od_nm/wings_dc

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A Chicago tavern said on Thursday it will begin selling chicken wings coated in one of the world's hottest peppers -- a dish so hot that patrons first have to sign a waiver agreeing not to sue for injuries.

Jake Melnick's Corner Tap said the wings made with Red Savina pepper will be served with an alarm bell for patrons to summon waiters with sour cream, milk sugar and white bread if things get out of hand.

Levy Restaurants, which owns the tavern, said its chef d'Cuisine Robin Rosenberg had been working on the concept for years but was never sure he'd be able to serve it.

"This isn't the right sauce for everyone, but for someone out there, this is going to be absolute heaven. Of course, for a handful of people, it's going to be hell," he said.

Cowboys

2008-01-14T07:18:00.000-08:00

I almost cried last night after the Cowboys game. Where did everything go wrong? Was I not eating enough chicken wings? Or was I eating too many chicken wings?

I'm not sure I'll be able to figure out an answer to these epic questions, but I'll try.

KFC's Sauceless Wings

2008-01-10T11:40:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I saw a commercial for "sauceless" wings by KFC. First thing I thought was blasphemy. Seriously, I look down on people who eat boneless wings, but sauceless wings? Its my duty to discuss and review chicken wings so I'll be eating some of these "things" in the next couple of days.

I'm not going to say I'll enjoy it, but I have to do it. You see the sacrifices I make for my fellow wing enthusiasts?

Feel free to discuss these monstrosities in the comments section.

Until then, keep wingin' it

Buffalo Bros. Pizza, Wings & Subs.

3015 S. University Drive

Fort Worth, Texas

817-386-9601

A couple of days some of my coworkers went to Dutches and they noticed a new establishment called Buffalo Bros. Pizza, Wings, & Subs. When they told me of this new joint I was intrigued. I thought to myself, “Wings?....... Chicken?.......... Buffalo?” I immediately put the pieces together and opened up my calendar to mark down a date to visit Buffalo Bros. Here are my thoughts.

As my friend and I sat down the waitress came up and did the usual, I ordered a beer and then began looking at the menu. I then understood what a mistake I made ordering my $3 schooner of Miller Lite. No, it wasn’t the fact that I ordered a Miller Lite, because I very much love beer and everything that it implies, but I saw in the menu I could order 10 wings, fries, & a small pitcher of beer for $12. Now that’s a deal on chicken wings if I’ve ever seen one! I frantically left the table to find Shirley and cancel my order to make way for my 10 wings, pitcher and fries. She said I couldn’t cancel the order so I ended up with a pitcher and a very large beer, which I guess is fine by me. The largest amount of wings you can order is 100 for $50, a good deal.

There are six flavors to choose from: Hot, Medium, BBQ, Cajun, and plain. Plain? Yeah I cringed when I read that. What kind of man actually orders plain? Seriously, that’s just like eating a hamburger dry, lame.

I order wings following the rule of thumb that chicken wings at a restaurant are only as good as the hot flavor is. It doesn’t necessarily have to be their atomic flavor, but just a good flavor of hot. I ordered Hot and my friend ordered Medium.

The food came out promptly and I was pleasantly surprised because I knew exactly what kind of wing joint this place was and I knew exactly how these wings were going to taste. It reminded me of watching the Mavs lose against the Heat in the NBA Championships while watching it at Rhino Bar in Washington, D.C. While I think that bar sucks, they had some good wings.

These wings were great. I’ll give the wings a 45/55 heat/flavor score. They were juicy, tasted great, had great heat and flavor, and were very messy- everything I love. While their wings aren’t as specialized as many other wing joints, they taste great and Buffalo Bros is just a good place to eat wings and watch the game.

Menu: Very big menu with lots on it other than wings, mostly pizza and subs.

Service: Shirley was a nice lady just trying to pay her way through college. I wish she would’ve told me about the wing/beer combo deal before I ordered but what’s in the past is in the past

Food: Very good, solid wings. Nothing to get too excited over, but still very good.

Extras: It comes with bleu cheese, celery and carrot sticks which if fine. I opted not to use the bleu cheese because the flavor of the chicken wings was THAT good.

Will I eat at Buffalo Bros. again? Yes, oh yes I will.

A Little Thing About Hot Sauce

2007-12-18T07:25:00.001-08:00

I’d like to offer up a couple of tips about a very important ingredient in chicken wings: the hot sauce. If you are ever in Austin, Texas go to Tears of Joy (www.tearsofjoysauces.com) on sixth street, it will fulfill all of your hot sauce needs.

There are three standard categories of hot sauces.

1. Asian

2. Louisiana/Cajun

3. Mexican

Asian hot sauces are a little scary, varying from mild to the most intense heat you’ll ever experience. I tend to stay away from these hot sauces because they defiantly take me out of my comfort zone and I never know how well they translate to food that’s not asian. I don’t even really know how they make them or what they are made of so I’ll stop talking about them.

Mexican hot sauces (not to be confused with salsa) are staples to any Tex-Mex dish. These sauces are very tasty and are close cousins to the Louisiana/Cajun sauces I’ll describe later. The standard Mexican hot sauce is vinegar based and some sort of pepper. They are mostly red or green depending on the pepper used. The pepper can be one of several species: ancho, habanero, jalapeno, tabasco, and the tried and true cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper produces the most stable hot sauce with a good balance of heat, flavor, application (the amount you can put on the food). It won’t knock your pants off but it’ll add some good flavor and heat. Personally I use Cholula or Valentina as they are the most readily available at restaurants and the grocery store. They make great wing sauce.

The Louisiana/Cajun style is very popular in the US, like many Mexican hot sauces it is usually made from cayenne peppers. These have the best all around flavor and there are hundreds of them on the market with their own distinct taste.

These go well on pretty much anything, especially wings. A half stick of butter mixed in a bowl with these sauces produces a heavenly bath for a freshly fried or baked chicken wing.

These hot sauces are used mostly for home cooked chicken wings as most chicken wing joints or restaurants make their own or order them from places like Ben E. Keith and Sysco foods; however I recently saw an ad on TV promoting KFC wings with Texas Pete hot sauce. Texas Pete is a very mild hot sauce with the motto “Texas Pete Hot Sauce is all about the flavor, not the burn!” I am a big fan of the heat/flavor balance in chicken wings, but to make wings with Texas Pete hot sauce and call it “hot” is an insult. Call it mild or call it a different flavor, but don’t call it hot. I’d rather have wings too hot and less flavor, or just another flavor like lemon pepper or teriyaki.

And quickly: Frank's Red Hot Sauce, Schlotzky’s, Cajun Chef, and Tabasco are my favorite Louisiana Hot Sauces.

What are your favorite hot sauces?

FIRE IN THE HOLE: THE SAGA OF "JOHN CARTER"

2007-12-14T08:44:00.000-08:00

Here's a guest narrative by fellow wing connoisseur Bill Pyle about the rise and fall of a wing eating champion. From what I've heard, this story is decades old and is passed on only by word of mouth

This story is about chicken wings and a young man who, for the sake of anonymity, we will call "John Carter". While at The University of Texas, "John Carter" set out one fateful evening, his birthday of all days, to accomplish a personal goal. That goal was to successfully ingest 25 of Plucker's hottest chicken wings and earn a coveted spot on the "wall of flame". With a small audience of friends, some Asians and some beers, the stage was set. Tensions rose and "John Carter" immediately began to show signs of fear. This wasn't his first rodeo.

Beads of sweat began forming on his brow while the color drained from his face leaving him a shade of "buckshot green". Memories of past wing failures flooded his head as he quivered like a little schoolgirl in his chair. The air was thick with irony as James Taylor sang "Sweet Caroline" over the radio. The wings had been ordered and the wait was nearly unbearable for "John Carter". His fogged glasses were cast aside and the roll of paper towels was placed within reach as he knew they would be crucial to his success. Then, from the depths of the kitchen, his opponent was carried to the table. The wait was over. Nearly incapacitated with fear, "John Carter" made one last futile attempt to back out, but the Asians had the exits covered. What happened next was nothing short of amazing. "John Carter" tore into the wings like a starving child to a bowl of rice. The culmination of sweat, wing sauce and ranch dressing was like a symphony of pain in his mouth and down to the depths of his belly. In less than two minutes, "John Carter" had powered through eight wings, maybe nine. But even for a former high school star athlete, the pain was becoming unbearable. His pace slowed as the fire overtook his senses. By this point, he was chewing on paper towels and drinking ranch dressing. The indiscernible chants from the Asians began to fade and an eerie feeling swept over the restaurant.

All of a sudden and without warning, he stopped. Like mighty Casey striking out, "John Carter" had fallen short. The crowd dispersed, the waiter shook his head and "John Carter" writhed in pain. He was not to make the "wall of flame" that night. In the years to follow, "John Carter" would continue his love affair with chicken wings and would even occasionally order some "hot". But, alas, his days of challenging the "fire-in-the-hole" were over.

Chicken Wing Link Roundup

2007-12-14T08:21:00.000-08:00

A Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant offered the first 100 customers free wings for life when it opened. That's pretty awesome. I've never had BWW but I plan on eating it soon.
Fans Pull All-Nighter For Free Wings

Here's a little tidbit from Derrick Perkins and Tim McCall from the Daily Collegian about the link between beer and food. The full article can be found here . They effectively point out why beer goes so well with wings but I would recommend one of the big three American light beers or Shiner Bock with chicken wings instead of India Pale Ale or Guinness.

Chicken Wings

Let's face it, soda does not mix well with chicken wings. Too much carbonation and little flavor can ruin your meal. Being over 21 brings the best solution to this problem: beer. For honey BBQ wings, go with an India Pale Ale. IPAs typically have a hoppy light taste, perfect for the mellow sauce choice. Or if you are in the mood for something spicy, go for a stout beer. The spicier the better for a good stout like Guinness. Guinness will coat your mouth as you bite down on your fiery wing. The hops and barley combination inside the Guinness will absorb the spicy and make each bite taste like a brand new wing. Our choices: the Guinness Stout or Long Trail India Pale Ale.

Wing Stop Review

2007-12-13T09:18:00.003-08:00

The Wing Stop Review

2723 8TH AVE
FORT WORTH, TX 76110

Wing Stop has always been a strange animal to me. While growing up, there never seemed to be locations close enough to me to eat at regularly, as a result I rarely ventured into Wing Stop. So while I have some friends who swear by Wing Stop, I don’t have much of an opinion of it. Here is my unbiased review.

Pre Service: Once I entered through the door I waited in line for about two minutes; I didn’t mind the wait because it let me look over the different flavors on their menu. They pride themselves over nine flavors that supposedly help them sell one billion wings since the wing establishment first opened in 1994. That’s a lot of chicken. These flavors are Atomic, Cajun, Original Hot, Mild, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parmesan, Hickory Smoked BBQ, Hawaiian, and Teriyaki.

I decided on an order of twenty wings (ten Atomic ten Lemon Pepper), a side of ranch, and a Miller Lite (I’ll talk about the debate between Ranch and Bleu Cheese in a later article). When I ordered the Atomic the cashier asked me, “Have you ever had Atomic here before?” Once these words came out of his mouth I knew he was challenging my manhood. Of course I replied, “Yes I have,” Even though I have never eaten at Wing Stop before. I was not going to let the cashier have the upper hand and use intimidation to make me change my mind. The tense relationship between the wing cashier/waiter and the experienced wing connoisseur will be written about in perspective piece in the coming weeks.

The twenty wings, ranch, and a beer set me back at about twelve bucks, which is actually a pretty good deal. I would’ve ordered celery and carrot sticks but they charge 69 cents for an order. I used my MasterCard with a “WingBack” option, which racks up reward points for eating at wing establishments, and eventually gives me more wings; it’s a win-win deal. After he swiped the credit card, he told me it would be ready in fourteen minutes. Uh.. ok. He looked at me as if he expected me to ask him why he said fourteen minutes. I just let him hanging and promptly went to my table to sip on my beer.

Food: About fourteen minutes later the cashier called my name and I returned to my table with twenty medium sized wings. There are several different strategies to eating wings, much of which is described in video at Cluck Bucket. I decided to eat the wings going back and forth from Atomic to Lemon Pepper using either The Finger Method or the Bad-Lands Spin Move (made famous by competitive eater and all around bad ass Bad Lands Booker.

The Atomic was pretty hot but it has some disadvantages. The first wing I brought up to my mouth I immediately smelled something foul. While the atomic had the signature dark red sauce and habanero/jalapeno seeds on it, there was a smell to it that was off putting. I’ve come to the conclusion that Wing Stop simply tried to make a really hot wing but that’s it. They left the flavor completely out of it so the balance of heat and flavor was very much in favor of the heat. I believe this to be a big no-no in the wing business; a talented wing chef will blend the ingredients in the sauce to reward the manly man who just dared to eat the hottest wing.

While I was disappointed with the Atomic, the Lemon Pepper was something magical. After taking down the first Atomic I knew I was in for a long night because I had to eat nine more wings in a mediocre flavor, but once the Lemon Pepper wing touched my lips, I was in heaven. The crispiness of the wing was so perfect that while my atomic lost its frying heat fairly quickly, the crispy shell of the lemon pepper wing insulated the heat so it was piping hot to the last wing. The LP wing needed no dips of ranch to enjoy it.

Notice in this picture I'm using the Double Drumstix technique perfected by me. Put a chicken wing in your mouth on the side (wing satchel) like a chipmunk and let it sit there while you eat another wing. When you are done with your first wing the meat on the wing in your wing satchel should be falling off the bone and ready to eat. If you want to be very brave, mix up the flavors and put a more spicy flavor in your wing satchel.

The Rundown:

MENU: Nine flavors, just wings and sides. I approve
SERVICE: Good and fast, 14 minutes to be exact, although that was kind of creepy.
FOOD: The atomic was disappointing, but the lemon pepper will have me coming back time and time again.
Extras: They charge for celery and carrots, that's weak, but the beer was good and complemented the wings very well.

SCORE: 7 OUT OF 10

ANOTHER TAKE: "Flavorful, just not enough spice"- Chase Conway on Wing Stop's Original Hot flavor.

Introducing Bling Bling Chicken Wing. This is a blog about everything chicken wings. Here you’ll find reviews, news, and the state of chicken wings in our society. I’ll have my first review up later this week.

I’ve always had a deep love for chicken wings. I can remember as a small boy devouring chicken wings by the pound. This love developed over the years and peaked while I attended the University of Texas at Austin, where I was spoiled with dozens of fine establishments serving up the delectable dish.

However, after graduating from college I moved out to Fort Worth and was immediately disappointed by the lack of chicken wing establishments that served chicken wings as their main course.

This blog will focus on my adventures with chicken wings in Fort Worth as well as the rest of Texas, the United States, and one day, the world.
