OK, so I’ve read through the review and all the responses. I’ll have to try the Blind Tiger wings. I did disagree with many of the comments. I love both Atomic Wings and Blondies Wings (which did used to be Atomic until they bought rights to the recipes and went on their own), disagreeing with may of the comments (although I do always order them extra crispy, extra wet). I miss Blondies on the UES…it ws my regular place for wings. Sigh. However, I did decide to try the Copperfields wings based on TG’s response and must admit they were very good. I ordered them hot, and they were very tasty and did have some heat. I also ordered the Nuclear just to try them, and they were surprisingly hot. Both were very good, and I would recommend them. My only complaint is the price for the number of wings you get. Not a great value, but certainly really good wings. Good tip TG! Thanks!

bbqmackster,
You’re right, it’s not your traditional buffalo sauce but its more buffalo than BBQ, at least every time I’ve had it. The Bleu cheese is definitely more gourmet than most standard bar fare but not a condiment I really enjoy. And the pull off the bone is pretty much the standard there. I’m content with the B+/A- grade because in the end, how many other places fall into that category? Not many for me. Have you tried Waterfront Ale House? Those are good wings. Not buffalo but definitely spicy and meaty.

Bling tiger wing action is pretty solid, work around the corner, and love it with awesome beer variety, though I didn’t find much “buffalo” action, more like a less smokey but spicy bbq sauce. Blue cheese, while not chunky, which I do love, is fluid without being watery and had a authentic flavor. Spice factor was med plus. some people love the tenderness, but not to the point where all the meat pulls off in one bite from the wing sections, which was mostly the case in my batch. Solid B+/A- here folks

if you try Bon Chon, get the soy garlic sauce. Although it’s not in the mold of the traditional hot wing, they’re fantastic. Plus, if you’re not a fan of hot wings that are so hot they mask the flavor of the chicken, I wouldn’t even consider the ‘hot’ wings here. Soy garlic is how they made a name for themselves.

Blondies – upper east side. Hands down the best in NYC. By a mile. Large wings, crispy skin, tender meat, perfect buffalo sauce at whatever temperature you can handle that sticks to the wings. It’s a 50 minute commute for me to get there from BK but I go over and over cause it’s worth the trip.

Your search is over.

P.S. – What’s all this stuff about sauce being good when it’s filled with red pepper flakes? What? Why?

Try Nancy Whiskey on Lispenard St. More of the crispy BBQ variety but they are damn good, consistent, and the price is right (20 nice sized wings for $8)
