How do you guys make them at home? I expect Mackus has this perfected.
Oven wings are great when seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic & herb seasoning. Coated with olive oil first.
I've also done wings in the smoker which are ridiculously good, same seasoning.
I can't quite get the old bay wings right in either though. As above, I sauce with bbq/frank's buffalo in equal parts.
I have a deep fryer. I like breaded so I do that. If I'm planning ahead I soak in buttermilk seasoned with salt pepper paprika over night. Dredge in flour mixed with the same, then back in the buttermilk, back in the flour. Place in the fryer while the basket is down and try not to shake the basket so your breading doesn't come off. Toss in sauce. Enjoy.
I don't have a good recipe for baking them and still getting a crisp outside, although it's healthier for you.

I did it for Super Bowl. The key is dredging them in whatever flour mixture you've made and then setting them in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
I then dipped them in a hot buffalo sauce with some ghost pepper hot sauce and liquid smoke and baked them for like...an hour IIRC.
They were AMAZING.

I love mostly all wings. Crispier the better, though.
Best deal is here in Johnson City at the Wild Wing Cafe M-F at lunch: Six flavors on a buffet for $10.99. Awesome wings.
My favorite wing dive is in Clemons, NC, at Ronni's.

Grill and oven. Pretty easy to make crispy wings in the oven.
Haven’t smoked wings yet.

I’ve only had the boneless ones. They are big too(especially for boneless)
Get them extra crispy. Very very solid.

Boneless is the way to go right?

Only if you're trying to meet girls. Because no girl is walking up to the guy at the bar wrist deep in wing sauce and eating like a caveman.

I didn't know this was the chicken nuggets thread.
Side note. I'd put McDonalds sweet and sour sauce on everything if I could. I'm trying really hard to avoid fast food these days. But I would get a double quarter pounder meal and ask for sweet and sour sauce. They're like "you didn't get chicken nuggets". I'm like, "I know. Can I have sweet and sour sauce please?" Dip my burger, dip my fries in it, everything.

That annoys me. Its not like its gold and worth shit tons of money. Its a mass produced sauce. Stop bitching and give me what I ask for.

Agreed - Delicious. I'm fairly certain that while normal people consist of about 60% water, I am about 45% water, and 15% sweet and sour sauce, from my youth.

That's my gripe with wing places that charge for blue cheese or ranch. I don't mind paying for something when it is "extra". But some places will charge you a dollar or so if you want ranch or blue cheese. Or give you enough to dip like 2 wings in, and you need extra.
Just make the wings an extra $1 and give an ample side of dip and I'll be happy. Hate feeling nickel and dimed.
Edit: I think McDs only charges like .15 for a sauce if its not with the nuggets. So I don't get the questioning. Just ring it up.

Kislings is great. Couple other places that haven't been mentioned by these county folk:
1. iBar is fantastic http://www.ibarbaltimore.com/
2. Flight American Fusion http://www.flightbal....com/home.html They do something different that I can't quite put my finger on, but their wings are amazingly crispy. This is a must try for wing heads.

JD's in Canton has good wings that are smoked prior to frying. Definitely makes a difference.
