"BadaBing Wings is a family-owned wing spot on the North Side that had built a wonderful customer base. But tragedy struck in summer 2024 when the owner died. The Uptown wing spot remained closed until quietly remerging in the winter in time for Super Bowl Sunday. You can choose a dry rub and a sauce — we’re partial to the Lombardo Mango Habanero." - Ashok Selvam
"This small counter-service spot in Uptown is at the center of a Venn diagram that you didn’t know existed: old-timey gangsters and chicken wings. And while we’re not entirely sure what Sopranos posters and pictures of Al Capone have to do with chicken wings, Badabing has some great ones. They’re marinated overnight in savory spices, ensuring that they’re loaded with flavor even without sauce. But despite already being embedded with flavor, you should still order these wings slathered in one of their 14 delicious sauces, like standard Buffalo, garlic parmesan, or their signature sweet and spicy Al Capone sauce." - adrian kane, phaithe norman, john ringor
"The Uptown chicken-wing destination at 4754 N. Clark Street is permanently closed following the death of owner Jose Lopez; Lopez had quickly made a name for himself with wet and dry-rubbed halal wings in a variety of flavors and had been working on a second location before his death." - Ashok Selvam
"In Uptown, Badabing Wings rolled out a one-day-only “HEATWAVE” discount code for pickup and delivery to lure wing fans who want to eat in the comfort of their own air conditioning." - Naomi Waxman
"This small counter-service spot in Uptown is what you get when you mix old-timey gangster decor with chicken wings. And while we’re not entirely sure what Sopranos posters and mugshots of Al Capone have to do with chicken wings, what we are sure of is that the wings at Badabing are delicious. They’re marinated overnight in savory spices, loading them with plenty of flavor even without sauce. But despite already being seasoned, you should still utilize at least one of their 14 sauces, like garlic parmesan, or their signature sweet and spicy Al Capone sauce." - John Ringor
