Chicken Wings in SF

When J's Pots of Soul closed its door, I lost my chicken wing connection. Where are you dining when chicken wing fever peaks?

The Spicy Chicken Wings at To Hyang are uber-spicy and good.

    SO is very good, but I prefer Nombe's version. If you're looking for traditional American style wings, Kezar is decent.

      Johnson's BBQ on San Bruno has very good fried wings (whole). Unfortunatly nothing else there is worth ordering.

        Little Star Pizza has surprisingly good wings.

        I haven't had the wings at Mission Chinese Food yet but have heard good things.

          First time I had them at Mission Chinese Food, they were amazing. Second time, I thought the spice mix was too aggressive. I love spicy food and can eat Thailand's hottest, but I couldn't taste the chicken last time. I'm due for another visit.

            I was not excited about Mission Chinese Food's wings. I thought the spice was uni-dimensional. Although they are supposed to be a riff on Chongqing chicken (fried chicken joint pieces with chilies, spices, and oil) like that at Z&Y, I much prefer Z&Y's more flavorful and nuanced chicken.

              Not sure if I've had them at Z&Y, but I prefer Spices' version to Mission Chinese Food.

                I've had them at all three places and prefer Spices'.

          My nomination is #53 Chef Special Chicken Wings at the newest version of Beijing Restaurant, 3925 Irving St. between 40th and 41st Ave.

          Hot crispy deep fried wing sections glazed with savory and sweet caramel... yum!

              Capital's salt and pepper wings. No sauce, but so plump and juicy they don't need any!

                The wings at Kezar used to be really good. I haven't been for a couple of years now.
