Best Wings Around Chicago

The best wings are usually served with baby wipes or a roll of paper towels instead of simple napkins. And almost as varied as the wing places themselves, are the varieties that they serve. From mild and just simply tasty all the way to sweat inducing heat, there truly is a flavor for everyone. The wings spots across the Chicago area truly prove that sometimes you eat the finest cuisines with you hands.
