How would you rank chain chicken wing establishments that are pretty common in most areas?

Buffalo wild wings
Wingstop
World of Wings
Hooters

These type of places

Been on a chicken wing kick lately and looking to try some different wings at different places

Breaded Daytona wings from Hooters are the best

Sadly, I've soured on all of those places. Pick your favorite based on their sauces. But they have all just gotten too damn small with their "wings".

Copelands, TJ Ribs, and Twin Peaks are my favorites for wings at the moment.

7-10 years ago, yes. Not so much these days. I still like Hooters Wings, just not the Daytona. Seems like something has changed.

I tried the Daytona and didn't like it

I find their wings aren't very spicy. Tried the 3 mile Island recently expecting them to be so hot that they were inedible. Eh not so much.

They all suck.



Hooters used to be decent, but I haven't had their wings in 15-20 years. I'm sure they suck now judging by all the recent closings of some of their locations.



EDIT: I don't know how prevalent they are, but Moe's BBQ has some outstanding wings.

I like some of the smoked wings from Hooters but they are getting pretty small. Twin peaks has good sized wings

Breaded Daytonas? Doesn't it get mushy on the grill?

Yeah the 3 mile and the 911 aren't that spicy. BWW regular hot is hotter.

Would "The Blue Store" count as a chain. They do have 3 locations. They have my vote.

BWW spicy garlic is the best.

For cheap beers and TV's with sports on, they're pretty solid. Nothing special, just simple.

Make sure you order wings “crispy” at BWW or else they come out soggy and gross.

I really like Hurricane Grill and Wings for wings.....the rest of their menu is meh.

But the GOAT is Moes’s BBQ wings.

Whoever mentioned moe's BBQ wings is right. They are legit. Also, Taco Mac is better than all the places listed in OP. Wing stop is way better than bww. Hooters sucks and could be on the same tier as bww

We went to Hooters for Lundi Gras, my son got some wings and they were actually pretty big. Almost as nice and plump as Olivias arse. Shout out to jmarto for putting out a great product.

I started ordering dry rubs instead of sauces. Much better IMO.

Hooters is my favorite.

BWW wings are small and not good at all (to me).

Wingstop is sort of in the middle.

Never been to World of Wings. Are there any in the NOLA area?
