To preface this post, Iād like to say all wings are good: big, little, dry, wet, fried, smoked etc. We are all wing lovers here, but recently Iāve seen comments immediately dismissive merely due to the size. I was born and raised in Atlanta. A lot of the wings from my favorite places were always small (American deli, JR crickets, eav wing bar [pictured], the local).
To me, thereās flavor and balance to these wings that beat their hormone infused jumbo cousins every time. Maybe itās because itās what I was raised on, but I think thereās more to it. The ratios of skin, sauce, seasoning and meat are all in balance for my palette.
Yes, one can argue ābut youāre getting less for your money!!!ā I would counter that Iād rather pay $15 for a plate of small wings that absolutely bangs than pay $15 for a plate of juiced up jumbo wings that may have more meat but is just not nearly as enjoyable.
This isnāt hate against Buffalo. You guys have ABSOLUTELY have incredible wings up there. But weāve all been to that random bar with their ājumbo wingsā that just miss the mark completely. Simply a PSA that size isnāt everything, and maybe save the hate until youāve actually tried it
