Previous favorite, TJ Ribs. Sauce on the side. Hard to beat a whole wing with a smokiness flavor.

My new favorite, albeit much smaller and different, however just as tasty are the wings at Table Kitchen & Bar Baton Rouge.

While I limited myself to 5 last night (sharing), I would have been just as happy ordering another plate for my main meal. These things are absolutely delicious. Would love to try and replicate these at home one day.

Sharing is caring, so please contribute.

I'll just say, I made some of the best wings I've ever had the other night at home.
I grilled them fatty skin side down for 20, removed and tossed in Crystal, put back on the top rack fatty skin side up for 25, removed and tossed again, then served with blue cheese.

Easy, delicious, didn't have to fry anything.

According to the menu, the wings are battered in rice flour.

All drumsticks (small, only minor gripe). The drumsticks are "frenched," similar to a french cut pork chop at the bottom - almost looks like a lollipop?

Not sure of the sauce that is glazed over it, but it was delicious.

I know what Frenched means.

I wonder what they do with the rest of the wing? Unless they are buying only drums.

What does the sauce remind you of? What kind of flav?

The wings at Root in new orleans are probably the world's best chicken wings.

Had been pumping them up to friends the last time we went there, table thought they were so good we ended up just getting a few more orders and a charcuterie board for ours entrees as well.

Unlike anything I have tasted before, but it must be known that I am not one that adventures out for Asian food. My extreme Asian is Kung Pao Chicken at a PF Chang's.

Charbroil infrared
I did skin down with the lid up so I can watch/make sure nothing burns.
Low heat. 300-320°ish
Don't move unless ya have to.
Toss after 20 min
Put on the top rack, lower the heat all the way
Close/let the heat radiate around the wing after being sauced
It crisps and gives a fried texture
Toss one more time

Lightly floured then baked on parchment is better than both for me.

Hooters in hot buffalo sauce. The way a wing is supposed to be.

Do any of these taste better than Blue Oak? Never had wings at TJ Ribs.

My favorite way to do wings:
Marinate in whatever I feel like for a few hours. Throw them on the smoker for about an hour. Then fry for about 30 seconds just to crisp the skin. Toss in whatever sauce you like. Sometimes I'll throw them in the oven for a little while after tossing just to make them a little sticky. My favorite sauce is a spicy honey mustard I saw in a thread a while back. A good store bought sauce is Yeungling buffalo sauce.

Bold that you would smoke them, fry them, and maybe even put them in the oven. That's quite a journey for a wing. If you want to carmelize your sauce without firing up every cooking device in your house, I recommend a cooking torch, or the more useful mapp torch.
