    I think I'll stick with Hooters or Buffalo Wild Wings.

    Sorry, but there is not enough meat on them to make them worth the effort!

    you should look for Wingstreet / pizza hut they are great but it has to be a wingstreet location or you will get the pizza hut wings which are baked not fried.

    I would have to agree, those are some pretty good wings. MGASSEL, Bennetts on Peroia and Smith and in Arvada has some really good wings, or did when i worked there 2 yrs ago, I would make them for myself and take home. I would always get the big ones!!! And they were smoked, too. They use all the bbq sauces now and a few others. I used to know the manager that implimented that, but never got to try the other ones. I loved the Sweet Surrender sauce on my wings (I was doing that before they offered to the public). I also love the naked wings at Hooters.

    buffalo wild wings are very tasty,plenty of meat and plenty of tastes also, same for "hooters", oh man i could eat my weight in hooters wings. And i'm a good sized guy. Not only that but the scenery at ''the big h'',is top o' da line. Slurrrp! J's wings r good,but they dont have enough meat on them. H3ll u have to eat 2 or 3 lbs to feel like u've eaten wings. But all are tasty. Bellllllch! Ah that was good.lol

    I agree with the good feeling about J wings. I can throw chicken bones out the window all day long, with grease dripping from my elbows! (its not really that bad) I like the plain breaded, no sauce, bone-in. Great little snack. I usually order them by the 1/2 pound. I have to stay out of the J's so I don't gain weight.

    Also good from Flyin J are the chicken cordon bleu sandwiches (fried chicken breast, ham, swiss cheese) and tater wedges. Overall I enjoy the hot deli bar at the fuel desks in most J's, but its mostly fried so its best in moderation.

    They also have some good salads and cold sandwiches under the bar. A lot of good variety.

    One you don't want to stop at is the Flyin J in Knoxville, TN (396 on 40/75 I believe). I am in there all the time. I've yet to have a tater wedge that tasted like it was less than a week old. Its kinda dirty too compared to most J's.

    Real nice one is in Alorton, IL (St Louis) on I255 exit 17 (Belleville exit). Used to stop there 3-4 times a week on dedicated route to fuel and grab a little lunch. Its brand new, lots of parking. I've been through there at 3-4 AM and still saw spots open. I never slept there though, I used to live about 2 hours away... I could make it home.

    That comment is a perfect example of why America is overweight.
    10 chicken wings have 1590 cal 107 g of fat, That is 90 calories more then the average person needs in a day and almost three times the 41 grams of fat allowed...

    But Yeah the chicken is good for ya! :smt117

    Now I'm more confused than ever. :smt017
    Is chicken good for America, or not?
    How can "America" eat ANYthing?
    America is just a country.

    Me?
    I eat chicken, and I'm not overweight.
    But, then again, I'm an American and not America. :biggrin_25525:

    Now, please pass the chocolate cream pie.
    Uhhhh, ..... can I have more whipped cream on mine?
    And can I get a coffee refill?
    OH!
    And a strawberry shake --- to go.
    Thanx.

    Burrrrp!
