Best 31 Wings in 2021 (Part Three)

Tommy, December 13 2021

Hey Wingaddicts!!! So, as 2021 comes racing to an end we now look back on 68 different restaurants we visited this year, the 404 plates of wings we destroyed, and all the new flavors as we ran our two-year total to 357!

THE Best Smoked Wings

Tommy, August 23 2021

“Who has the best wings?” It’s a question we get every single day when we meet new Wingaddicts. “It’s an impossible question to answer,” is the only way to honestly reply.

I mean there’s a million funny things you can do with that term! But then I tasted it. Ever since then, even at home in Connecticut, jerk has been a flavor in our spice cabinets and condiments collections. I’ve...
