ISO the best buffalo wings in the LA area...

[sunnygordy]

My boyfriend & I both are craving top-notch buffalo wings like mad. I'm so often disappointed in what I find...flabby skin, tough or undercooked (!) meat & inferior pre-made dipping sauce are just a few of the injustices I've encountered. Is there anywhere (save for Hooters. Nothing feminist in my stance, just had an ex that "cooked" there so I know the real goings-on of the kitchen, & ummm, eeeewwww.) that we should check out? I'd prefer something in the SFV area, but if they're truly epic wings, we're willing to make a day of it.

ye rustic inn does have good wings, the hot ones are scrumptious. if you want a place that has comparable wings check out alondra"s hot wings in montebello, and they have a nice set of sauce choices to choose from too, the chile lime and the spicy bbq are really really..really good, this place gets packed on a regular basis so beware

Ye Rustic is the best. Big Wangs is weak.

Big Wangs in Hollywood. Best Wings anywhere. Tues nights they are 25 cents each and do not decrease in quality.

The atmosphere is meh, just forewarning you.

Johnny Reb's in Long Beach and other places. They're smoked first, then they add hot or BBQ sauce, Best I've had anywhere, Don't argue. Go and report back.

Any other suggestions for places with smoked wings?

I'm from Buffalo and I have the same problem! I usually just end up making wings myself. You can order Anchor Bar Wing Sauce online. Wings are actually really easy to make. All you have to do is bake and then toss them in the sauce.

Baked? As good as frying in peanut oil? Will have to try some day. Have ordered from Anchor Bar and find Franks, at most supermarkets, is a decent wing sauce too.

As above, previous threads are a good source for wing joints.
