That's because it's cheaper, plus the rest of the chicken wing eating world eats fried chicken wings not BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS.

Wacka Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I go to Mister's, the bar/bowling alley at that intersection once a month for a meeting for my hobby. Never had their, or the other place's wings but had Bar Bill's once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preds Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I'm one of the few WNY'ers who actually really dislikes Bar Bills "wings". I think they suck and hate their sauces. Give me Gabriel's Gate or Duff's in Orchard Park or on Sheridan, and maybe Dick Road (the other Duff's locations suck) any day over Bar Bill. However, I do love Bar Bill for their Beef on Weck which is by far the best I've had and a pretty consistent sandwich every time we stop in. Has anyone tried the Beef on Weck at Main & Hamlin yet? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist_to_open Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Speaking of wings? Anyone living in Cheektowaga? Is Johnny's on Union and Cleveland still open? And how is their wings/ pizza these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Here's a nice write up. https://stepoutbuffalo.com/new-the-bar-at-main-hamlin-has-its-roots-in-an-iconic-east-aurora-restaurant/ Wish them a lot of luck in their venture and trying to keep with their vision, which was supposed to not include wings.

Dissenting opinion: Duff's on Sheridan is too saucy. Even when you order crispy, you get a soggy wing. Duff's at Eastern Hills Mall knows how to make a wing, and their menu has more options.

Utah John Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 5 hours ago, Pine Barrens Mafia said: Because they're all ignorant A couple of weeks ago I had a guy stop me in the parking lot of a grocery store here in Memphis. I was wearing a Bills cap as usual, and he said he'd been a Bills/Josh Allen fan for years though he'd never been to Buffalo. Then he asked me whether it was OK to use ranch dressing. I just smiled and shook my head, making him laugh. (What I SHOULD have said is that that's like putting ketchup on ribs -- something a Memphian would understand.) But he also made a comment that maybe the blue cheese dressing in Buffalo is different than elsewhere, and I'm not sure about that. I just said that it makes the wings taste better and we left it at that. But maybe there actually is a difference in blue cheese dressing in different parts of the country. Any ideas whether that's true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 4 hours ago, BadboyBills said: Air fryer wings all day. Will die on this hill. I grill mine. I put Frank's Red Hot (original) on them before grilling. After they're cooked*, I toss them in Frank's again and then put them back on the grill for a minute to make the sauce adhere to the wings and add a little crispiness. I do plan to try air frying - maybe after grilling season. *Use a meat thermometer to check them for doneness, so they don't overcook and dry out. As soon as they approach 165°F, they're done.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Some of us are unable to go to any of those places, but the best wings available here in Ohio are from Quaker Steak and Lube, and they are surprisingly excellent. I think better yet would be to ask what the best wing places are out there in out of town enclaves 😑 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
