Best Wings For Sunday Night Football
Do you have any friends that get more excited for the food being served during Sunday night football than the actual games themselves? We think chicken wings are to blame for being one of game-days most anticipated staples. Read on to find out the five best spots in NYC for both unique and classic wings that are guaranteed to satisfy, no matter the score. By Margeau Barnes
International Wings Factory
New York, NY 10128
International Wings Factory sets the bar awfully high for a variety of reasons. First of all, there are 13 sauces to choose from, half of which you cannot find anywhere else. Our favorites were the Vietnamese Chile Mango, Mexy-Q, and Garlic Parmesan Buerre Blanc. Beyond the wing sauces, we were particularly blown away by the unique dipping sauces: jalopeno ranch, creamy cilantro, chipotle mayo, and blue cheese. Their creativity doesn't stop there, they even have a variety of dusted fries including spicy garlic, pepper parmesan, southwestern and sweet potato!
Croxley's had us at their famous wing nights, which offer classic wings at 20 cents each and boneless wings for only 10 cents each. Can you get a better deal than that? They also offer unique wings flavors such as Thai Peanut, The Fighting Irish, Cry Like a Baby, Red Hot Chili Powder, and Korean BBQ. If you're in the mood for a burger, check out their Mac Daddy Burger which is topped with mac and cheese.
Wogies Bar & Grill
New York, NY 10014
We love Wogies because they not only excel in the wings department, but in authentic Philly style cheesesteaks. Those two factors have made it one of the most happening small bars for major NYC or Philadelphia sporting events. We recommend the classic hot wings or honey mustard wings, with a side of their popular waffle fries. If you're not in the mood to try a full cheesesteak, make sure to try the cheesesteak spring rolls as an appetizer.
Mighty Quinns BBQ
New York, NY 10003
The line for Mighty Quinns BBQ at Smorgasburg is always the longest, so we already had an idea this place was going to be good. They are typically known for their brisket and pulled pork, but surprised us with their delicious spin on a super spicy wing, by adding sesame seeds and scallions. We paired them with the pommes frites, which were extremely on point. But the most popular dish seemed to be the burnt ends, so be sure to include them in your order.
Atomic Wings is a great place to put on your radar because it has several locations in the city, so no matter where you go you will be able to find your fix. They take hot wings to a whole new level by including "abusive," "nuclear" and "suicidal" as the hottest sauce options on the menu. We love it here for a quick pick-up or delivery before a game or even just as a simple dinner on the go.
