While not your classically flavored chicken wings, the Jidori chicken wings at Koreatown's Beer Belly easily make our list as some of the best chicken wings around. Chef Wes Lieberher serves up these tasty appetizers with your choice of Buffalo Blue, Honey Dijon or Volcano Chipotle. The latter, which happens to be the spiciest sauce is one to hold in fear though. Whatever sauce you choose, these hot wings are the perfect compliment for a sports game or if you just have the craving. The Koreatown pub also offer local craft beers which are great to wash down the crispy and tasty wings.
