This sortable table contains links to each of the Huntsville-area hot wings reviews I’ve done as part of my ongoing #HsvHotWings series, which I started in the spring of 2016. Both national chains and locally-owned restaurants are included. When the page first loads, the table is listed by most recent review. I have removed restaurants that have closed since I visited them.
In each review, I ordered the hottest wings available. To go to a review, click the entry in the Reviewed Wings column that you want to read.
On a scale of 1 to 10:
- Quality considers the relative quality of the meat, how well it is cooked, at what temperature it is served, and how much the wings cost.
- Flavor is just that: how good do they taste? There are all sorts of flavor profiles from review to review, and each is evaluated on its own. There is no criterion but yumminess here.
- Heat is pretty self-explanatory, but you should know these rankings are with my palate and tolerance in mind, which is considerably stronger than that of the average person. Any rating 8 or above caused me some degree of pain. Unless you’re accustomed to eating superhot peppers and sauces, you might want to stop about 6.
If there are wings out there I need to review, please let me know.
