The Southern Tier Goes Here For Chicken Wings

It's that time of the year. You know, that time when chicken wings will be consumed en mass, probably like no other time of the year. Will chicken wings be on your big game menu on February 11th?

According to the National Chicken Council, in 2022, over 1.42 billion chicken wings were served in America during the championship game. That's a lot of wings.

My favorite chicken wings include garlic, honey garlic, barbeque, and the original Buffalo wings. What's the difference between chicken wings and Buffalo wings? Well, here's the answer you probably already know. Wait, a Buffalo doesn't have wings?

I asked listeners where they get their favorite chicken wings if they don't make their own at home for the big game. Three local bars had the most mentions:

FAT COWBOY'S BBQ - Route 7B, Port Crane

Heather T. - The Fat Cowboys BBQ has the best. Hands down!

OLD UNION HOTEL - Clinton Street, Binghamton

Tammy B. - Union & Nips both are phenomenal!

NIP'S PARK AVENUE SALOON - Park Avenue, Binghamton

Harold S. I've had wings from every "top" place in the Southern Tier. There is a clear-cut #1. Its Nips and it's not close. As a bonus, Pegasus is their best flavor.

Here are some other great places for chicken wings according to our listeners:
