Chile Chicken Wings Michael's Genuine Food & Drink, Miami. They may resemble traditional Buffalo wings in appearance, but a blend of soy sauce, tahini, ginger, garlic and a bottled Asian chile sauce makes Chef Michael Schwartz's wings a standout. They're complemented with a cool dip of cucumbers, Greek yogurt and fresh mint for an eclectic global flavor pairing. |

Buffalo Wings, Deconstructed Lockwood, Chicago. Chef Phillip Foss braises chicken in duck fat, pulls the meat off the bone and then shapes it into a cylinder around blue-cheese stuffing. Once cooled, it's cut into thick discs and skewered with a chicken bone. The “wings” are fried to order and served with celery leaves, blue-cheese crumbles, walnuts and a drizzle of tangy, Buffalo-style sauce. |

Stuffed Chicken Wings The Bristol, Chicago. Chorizo stuffing is one of the traits that differentiates Chef Chris Pandel's boneless chicken wings. Another is the cooking method. Instead of frying the wings, Pandel pan-sears them to allow the skin to caramelize. Blue-cheese sauce and a celery-and-parsley salad complete the dish. |

Traditional Wings Buffalo Wild Wings, multiple locations. Customers can order these bone-in wings (or choose boneless) by the half-dozen and select from 14 signature sauces that range in heat from mild to “Blazin'.” In classic style, the chicken comes with celery sticks and either blue-cheese or ranch-dressing dipping sauce on the side. |
