a wicked discovery
wings seem to be gaining a lot of popularity as a fast food option these days. so when muh boy bishen told me about his breddrin’s newly opened wings spot on the aranguez main road, it wasn’t really a shocker. what was a shocker though was that this spot called wicked wings has over 40 flavors of wings to choose from… none of them buffalo. flavors like banana rum, passion fusion, strawberry and raspberry reside on that menu. and it’s cool to mix your order, so you can enjoy multiple flavors in one sitting. 2 minutes away from my house?? steups… nuff said.
i thought the garlic flavor would do well next to the mango chow. this one was dipped in a rich mayo-based garlic sauce. a little different in texture, but not unpleasant. the creamy sauce on the wing worked and it actually tasted like something you may have tried before, but didn’t pay much attention to. like a chicken sandwich with garlic sauce in it.
now even though it’s a wings joint, they also have burgers, sandwiches and fried chicken pieces in home style and spicy crispy. in honor of muh breddrin baidawi, i went with the home style. it was cooked well with a nice crunch on the outside, but the meat was a bit on the bland side. i sampled the chicken without the additional sauces as i usually do to get the real flavor of the chicken. in this instance i think the chicken on its own isn’t that great, but should say something a little more significant with the sauces available. i recall jerk sauce, bbq, pepper and garlic sauce.
overall i would say these are wings done well. their technique is good, so they produce a wing cooked through to the bone without being overcooked. no charred ends or burnt pieces. a little crisp to the bite and succulent meat. i would describe the sauces as clever. they tasted good, but i see room for some fine tuning to take them from good sauces to great sauces. my real test would be consistency. if they could produce that quality of wing every time, they would have a successful product. and with that many flavors, this spot can offer a new experience for quite a long time.
i think this spot is worth checking out. i’ll be going back soon. but check out their facebook page before you go so the menu doesn’t take you buy surprise.

Lawd ahhhh mercy…
good assessment mandy.
i was allowed to mix 3 by 3 for a six wing combo with no problem. and i didn't announce any blog relations, so it was regular customer status. either wires were crossed or they were probably still working it out. however, the pics on their fb page has a mixed 6wing combo. hm.
bbq wings can be nice, but the thing about bbq is that when that smoke hits the wing, that's more or less it. flavor will always have that smoke base. it's difficult to change the flavor on that. i think the fry and dip is the way to go for wings.
i had a decent portion, but somebody else spoke about portion sizes with the wedges. i think to make wedges affordable, you have to make them from scratch.
totally agree with meat only option. the wicked bucket you suggested is a great idea. something with dividers so yuh flavors don't mix up too much.

I checked it out Friday.. I had the sweet thai chilli wings.. a few things
1) I asked if i could mix the flavours and she told me something that sounded like only for the 12 piece.. and 2 flavours
2)When the other lady told the cashier there wasn't enough for one portion, she should have listened. I did not get a portion of steak fries.
3) The wings are jumbo.. but the wing is divided in two, without tip.
4) The wings were good.. better than HOW.. but i suppose thy have different methods of doing their wings.. one is bar b qued as opposed to fried and dipped. But i appreciate the taste of the wicked wings more.. I was satisfied with the value for money.. however I think there is room for a meat only or a wings only option. As Q says consistency is key and I look forward to tasting the 44 flavors.
tru dat. i think is a good find.
blessings you should know that i wouldnt send you to eat a worst food even if is meh padna
