Chicken Wings

Nothing calls for chicken wings like parties and game day. This staple made its claim to fame in the 1980s when American bar owners saw the newly inexpensive meat as an opportunity to salt up and promote beer sales.

There’s a reason why wings are still wildly popular today. Whether you dress them up or keep it simple, they’re utterly delicious. Try them with a homestyle Buffalo or BBQ sauce or even a dry rub—it’ll be hard to go wrong.
