Food Network Names 2 Georgia Spots the Best for Chicken Wings in America

Chicken wings are a beloved American food, and now we have bragging rights in this state, as two Georgia spots have been named one of the best in America for chicken wings by the experts at the Food Network. I think it's pretty great that our state is being honored for having tasty chicken wings, because it just shows how we have some of the best restaurants in the country. So, if you love chicken wings, get ready to dig in.

The experts at the Food Network have a new feature out about the best chicken wings in America. "Whether you like them spicy, sweet or both, here's where to get the best wings from coast to coast," they state. Also, if you're wondering what exactly is the official definition of a chicken wing, the "basic idea" is "a fried and sauced spicy chicken wing," according to Vox. They are, of course, a favorite dish to snack on during football games and sporting events or at the bar. They're also a popular appetizer.

Before we got to the Georgia spots, let's look at some of the celebrated chicken wing spots across the country. The Food Network loves the Jerk Wings at Grey Ghost in downtown Detroit. "If you love Caribbean spices, you'll love the jerk wings at this Detroit locale," the Food Network states. They add that the wings are bathed in a wet jerk marinade for 24 hours, and then they're cooked for 12 hours. The food tasters seem to love Detroit, too, as they also named the Caramel Chicken Wings at Flowers of Vietnam in Detroit a choice spot.

As for the Georgia spots, the Food Network absolutely loves the Bourbon Barrel Peach Wings at Ladybird in Atlanta. "The folks here may not take themselves too seriously, but they are definitely serious about their wings," they note. "The wings are first covered in their own house chicken rub with flavors of brown sugar, garlic and paprika, before they are put into the smoker with oak and cherry woods." Ladybird is located at 684 John Wesley Dobbs Avenue NE Unit J in Atlanta. They also totally love the Smoked Wings at Sweet Auburn Barbecue, which is located at 656 North Highland Avenue Northeast in Atlanta. It's great to see not one by two spots honored.
