Seasonal foods come and go, but chicken wings stay forever. And if you’re going to be about that wing life, you need to know some of the best places to get them. So here are eight places to get some bomb ass chicken wings in Chicago!
Bird’s Nest
2500 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
Heralded as arguably the best chicken wings in Chicago, Bird’s Nest sits just west of DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus and is a go-to neighborhood joint with wings that attract patrons from every neighborhood. You have to get them bone-in with their signature buffalo pepper sauce and an ice-cold pitcher of Miller Lite on NFL Sunday’s.
The Rambler Kitchen & Tap
4128 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
The Rambler has everything you’re looking for in the perfect neighborhood watering hole—friendly atmosphere, a dynamite beer garden, strong drinks, and a great menu. That menu is highlighted by their chicken wings with signature Rambler Sauce—a sweet and spicy, house-made barbecue sauce with a touch of cayenne and cumin to add a bit of a kick. The sauce itself is sticky and gets you craving more. Not to mention, every Monday they host Bachelorette/Bachelor Bingo if you need an excuse for a cold drink and some bomb-ass chicken wings to start your week.
Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap
41 East Superior Street Chicago, IL 60611
Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap is the go-to place for classic buffalo wings. With plenty of sauces to choose from, affordable prices, and large portions for sharing (although, who would want to do that?), this restaurant is a local favorite. If you’re feeling daring, try their XXX hot wings, the world’s hottest!
