The Quest for the Best Wings in the USA

Video Overview & Insights

A billboard that advertised the best wings in the USA caught my eye, and I had to investigate. Join me as I figure out whether Quaker Steak and Lube really has the best wings in the country.

Thanks so much for watching!!! Where have you had the best wings?? Let me know in the comments!!

👕 MERCH

i think the one we have in Woodruff SC is the biggest because it has an outdoor stage for bike shows and stuff, theres an harley davidson beside it so thats probably why. Eat Heat used to been called triple atomic challenge, now it is its own sauce.

Shortly after “Hot Ones” started, some friends and I did a challenge. Different people brought in the wings hot sauce, and deep fryer. Each of us brought in a “possible remedy.” Skim and whole milk, beer (we were at a microbrewery), fresh made that day cheese curds, useless water, and 2 different cans of spray whipped cream. The “heavy cream” whipped cream was the best. You spray it into your mouth and it fills every crevice like Great Stuff foam insulation.

I did the Quaker Steak and Lube challenge. Crushed it. Got the T-shirt.

Best wings I ever had were at Wild Wing Cafe in Charlotte. Unfortunately, they’ve all closed now. It’s really sad. That was the perfect tasting wing.

@bknsty14
@

I feel like your too polite with your scoring system. Not every wing has to be a 8 or above. I feel like above a 7 are close to perfect. U gave a 9 a lot when u had some criticism when I felt like from how u described should be a 6.

I am from Indiana, check out Ale Emporium for the Hermanaki wings. Those things are amazing.
I currently live in Nebraska and the place to go here is Oscars. Get them char buffed and double dipped. Incredible experience. While you are in nebraska if you want the best pizza you have ever had go to Orsis pizza.

Sugar works for me when I eat too spicy. Specifically, jelly beans. So… maybe it’s the gelatin, not the sugar 😂

Indiana's best wing is Ale Emporium's hermanaki wings w/ blue cheese. Must get blue cheese
