Bayou Hot Wings

This food was so nasty… I can’t believe I got this. I got the Honey BBQ wings it was terrible. I was hungry and I couldn’t even finish it. The fries wasn’t bad. It ain’t worth the money tho. Only thing good was the bottled drink.

I finally gave this place a try today after scoping it out for a minute! I got a 10 piece wing with 2 sauces. I got the Garlic Butter Parmesan and the Bayou Hotboy... First off, that GBP was pure heaven from the butter to the garlic to the fresh parmesan melted on top!! Those flavors came together beautifully!!!! The BH had a good flavor as well. It was medium with just a small hint of spice. The ranch dipping sauce was good, too. I'll definitely geaux back!!

my first time here and read all reviews some good some bad but decided to take a try great experience. yes the wings were small but almost everyone,s are these days. the fry was great had some wings with no sauce just to test. sauses were good. the buffalo shrimp were great. management was very flexable with drums vs flats aver all great night out

So the wife and I were craving chicken tenders with buffalo sauce and blue cheese, plus some onion rings. After doing much internet sleuthing, we happened across this place. And HOLY MOLEY it absolutely came out way better than our expectations! First off the tenders were enormous! After eating 3 of 10 tenders I decided to weigh the box and it was well over a pound! Then come the onion rings! Perfectly spiced and breaded. I didn’t need sauce or anything. The fries were exactly what I was looking for today, again not shy about seasoning and still hot when they arrived. I also had the Caesar salad, potato salad and the fried shrimp but I haven’t gotten to them yet! 🤣

Absolutely delicious wings!! We got the bayou sweet heat and the bayou hotboy flavors and they were incredible :) Their ranch is homemade and very good. I loved the bleu cheese dressing too :)

Just one but important point to make - Salt - can be used to preserve food or enhance the flavor of food. Definitely don't need to preserve the onion rings. When the salt overpowers the sweetness of the onion, it really leaves a bad ring. Don't know if it's a premix batter or an inhouse blend, but definitely cut back the salt by, hmmm - 90%. The wings were (hot Buffalo Wings) were acceptable. The thin Blue Cheese lacking any real cheese nor blue.

The wings were great. I got the 15pc sweet honey heat wings. It wasn't spicy at all and very flavorful. My friend got the honey garlic parmesan wings We also got a large order of garlic parmesan cheese french fries with added bacon. On a scale of 1-10 it would be a 7, and this is why I don't get wet wings at all so this is why I rate it only a 7. I will definitely be going back to get a dry rub when I come back to visit. Oh by the way if you decide to come here be sure to order your meal online or do a call in for pick up. They don't and will not take your order from the window at ALL!

Don’t get the wings! They were breaded with sauce just thrown on them. The wings tasted old like they warmed them up in the microwave. Won’t be returning. Maybe try the tenders.

After the Tulane game we tried to get a Lyft/Uber but the wait looked to be over an hour. We decided to hit up the area to see what was around but surprisingly a few of the local bars seemed to be closing up shop or were packed. We ended up at a little plaza and saw the sign for Bayou Hot WIngs. We made no attempt to look this place up and went in to check it out. What a good sign, first picture we saw was Adam Richman and there was a small blurb that he called this one of the best wings. We decided to check it out and there was no turning back....mainly due to the hour long damn wait for a ride back downtown NOLA. I ordered the hot wings and a drink. My friend got hot wings and some fries. The place had a lot of people placing orders and seemed super popular. It didn't take long and we were out of here with our wings. We decided to eat on some tables that were outside. Beautiful night and the wings were really good. There was pretty decent texture on it and it was sauced well but not over sauced were the wings were swimming in sauce. The heat wasn't bad, a decent level for sure. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area...or would come after every Tulane game. Thanks Adam Richman for dropping in here and convincing me...pretty easily after seeing your reco here.

I ordered the bayou hot boy wings. Fries were good. Blue cheese was the best I've ever had. Wings were good but there was a sweetness about it I didn't like. Overall I would go again.

This is probably unbelievable considering that I'm vegetarian but Bayou Hotwings is a major part of my life. I used to get the chicken here (so juicy) and then I became vegetarian and continued exploring the sauces. My boyfriend and I have probably spent over $100 or $200 on sauce bottles here when we visit, they're just unlike any hot sauce we've tried anywhere (and we are addicted to hot sauce). Please, even if your vegetarian, if you like spice come try Bayou Hot Wings. It's easy to find parking, good for take away or eat in at the tables outside, and the staff is super nice. My only complaint is that stomachs have a capacity and the food doesn't just magically appear at my table in California. Thankfully, I can have Beast every morning with my eggs thanks to their bottles for sale.

Disclaimer, this was an online order so I can only comment on the food. First off, these have got to be the tiniest wings I've ever had. Mostly all breading and very little meat. It genuinely looks like pigeon wings, they're that tiny. The flavor of the wings was really good though. We also got the chicken pesto wrap. It was mostly lettuce and didn't taste like pesto at all. It had good flavor, but disappointing for sure. The alligator bites were star of the show. No complaints on those. Great breading and great flavor. It was also frustrating that our wings were not separated by flavor, they were just thrown together in the same box.

I don't really care for hot wings but this joint does sling some great burgers, chicken sandwiches and other nice items.  The prices here are also a great value and you get a large portion of food for a very reasonable price.  The main downside of this place is it really isn't built for dining at the location as they have very limited seating inside and a table outside.  They also only have bottled drinks and no freshly brewed iced tea which always saddens me.  The quality of the food seems to have degraded during the pandemic situation and they have added stricter rules for ordering so now you have to call ahead or use their website to order so no more walking up to order. Overall though for a large delicious burger with nice fries this is one of the best values in the area along with offering some surprises on the menu you won't find in any other hot wing place outside of NOLA. My video review of Bayou Hot Wings is here: https://youtu.be/ZIKai68rLLM

Called in to pick up food and when me and my friends arrived we were getting scoffed at and talked about in the kitchen as if we had done something wrong by ordering their food. Wings are okay but they really need to rethink their staff or their mindset to get people coming back.

Little wings, decent flavor, and I want to try they other food. I had the Korean bbq wings. It was straight. Fries aight.

Great food, great service!! Worth the drive from French Quarter to try frog legs and alligator from a local favorite while on vacation in NOLA.

I had to come back to Baypu Wings. Had to get started on my trial run of the other flavors. I split my flavors in half. My son loves lemon pepper so that was his half. Although it was delicious when I got it last time, I was ready to explore the other flavors. So I went with the chipotle BBQ. Wow, it was everything. Powerful deliciousness. Two great flavors so far. The only negative I had with my experience this time is, I didn't like how they broke the wings. I had maybe two drummettes while they served just the wing portion instead of an actual entire wingette. Other than that, the flavor was popping. The struggle is to get past the two flavors I already tried and branch out. I think I'm up for the challenge though.

Some of the best wings I've had in New Orleans. They have a bunch of flavorful sauces to choose from and crispy wings. Fast service. My favorite sauces are Bayou Hotboy and lemon pepper

If you haven't been to bayou hot wings yet, drop what you're doing & go eat some fire wings man. This place never disappoints, and with such a large menu there's something for everyone. Personal favorites are Bayou Sweet Heat & Lemon Pepper bone-in wings, with fried pickles, onion rings, and potato salad as awesome sides. What're you waiting for??

I ordered the shrimp on bun and my bun and shrimp were burnt and my fries were cold. It was not worth $16

Guys listen ya'll have really fell off, the new cooks in the back are not following the recipe or something! It doesnt taste the same and that makes me sad!

Big fan of bayou hot wings. Been coming here for years. It's a tiny space that offer some of the best wings in town. Pretty good selection on the menu with all the different sauces you can choose from. My fave sauce is their bayou sweet and lemon pepper. They have in house dips too! Don't forget to try their burgers and alligator bites. Outside are 2 small picnic tables to eat on but its more so a pick up place. I've even seen people chow down on the back of their truck in the parking lot because driving home with that delicious smell in your car is torture. Trust me, I know. The 25 mins drive home from here is a struggle. lol Tip: you can ask for the sauces on the side to help the wings from getting soggy and when you get home, just toss it together. =)

Ordered the garlic parm/lemon pepper wings, onion rings, bayou burger and shrimp. EVERYTHING and I do mean everything was phenomenally delicious! So glad to finally find a place I loved everything in!

Finally made it to Bayou Hot Wings and glad I did. The first thing you will notice is the great attitude of the Allen and Kyle the two chefs behind the all the creative flavors. It's awesome to see people take pride in what they do and do it so very good. Ordering is simple, look at the board, pick your flavors and your done. I had the garlic butter parmesan and Korean BBQ. Both were crunchy and packed with flavor. The fries are crispy and delicious. The only negative is that both the wings and fries came out a bit cold which for the Korean BBQ made the sauce thick and for the Parmesan the cheese didn't melt all the way. Hopefully next time they will be hot and I can get the full experience.

My absolute favorite!! The wings here are so amazing. The breading alone sends me to heaven! I'm a fan of the bayou sweet heat and recently tried the bayou hot boy. It's a must visit

Bayou Hot Wings is one of my favorite spots for wings and tenders. I'm so thrilled that they are back open and operating during this Covid19 pandemic. Their hours have changed and they are only offering takeout and delivery, you can call to place your order or use their online ordering service that was just implemented. The new hours are Wednesday-Sunday, 12pm-8pm. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. All items are so flavorful and fresh, you have a variety to choose from. My favorite thing to order are the bayou tenders coated in the bayou hotboy sauce, has the right amount of heat. You can get the wings and tenders coated with sauce or you can get your dipping sauce on the side. Some other must-haves are the onion rings, jambalaya, garlic parmesan fries, alligator bites. I could go on and on.

For this being a wings place, it was honestly horrible. The wings were small, and extremely over cooked. The "seasoned" fries were dry and had no flavor. I moved down here and had people tell me it was good, but it was horrible. The price is a joke given the product you're given. Don't waste your money.

No walk up orders taken. You have to scan the menu which takes you to a page where you can place your order and then you'll pick up when they are ready (going as contactless as possible which is understood and smart). We ordered: Gator bites (for the husband), Garlic Butter Parmesan Fries, and 6 Hot Wings (3 Korean BBQ and 3 Bayou Sweet Heat). Gator bites: This was all my husband, I do not enjoy gator bites. But my husband said it was really good so I trust his judgement. *As a matter of fact, he said they were so good it overshadowed the mediocre wings* Garlic Butter Parmesan Fries: I had high hopes for this but unfortunately it wasn't as good as I expected. The shredded Parmesan was not melted all the way *minus 1 star* which made it hard to eat but on a good note, the fries had a good texture. I probe should have ordered them plain. The wings: The Bayou Sweet Heat had 2 chili signs and the Korean BBQ had 3 chili signs but ironically the Bayou Sweet Heat seemed more spicy than the Korean BBQ. We ordered that one since my husband doesn't handle here as much as I do...we didn't realize it would be spicier than he can handle *minus 1 star*. Overall, would say it's a good stop for a quick bite. I do like the fact that they are contactless. It isn't an actual sit in restaurant though but there is a table right outside. Just ONE table. So if others are sitting there, your only option is to take it to the car or home to eat. Luckily for us, we were able to sit on the table since we were the only ones.

I've rarely seen a restaurant want my business less than Bayou Hot Wings does. Sporadic hours with zero updates on their website or social media - I've placed online orders and gotten to the confirm button only for it to say they're not taking online orders at the moment. Twice I've driven there during business hours to find nothing but a spooky haunted house of a closed wing joint. I finally made it there while they were open to see 3 or 4 handwritten notes taped outside saying "NO WALK UP ORDERS" -- Okay, fine I'll just call it in from here, then I see yet another handwritten note "DO NOT CALL IN YOUR ORDER FROM THIS AREA." Alright, message heard loud and clear. Good luck.

Food wasn't good wings was so small and wasn't all that hype and I seen a piece of brown hair on my plate ... disgusting asf

Heard great things and saw awesome pictures but this fell very short of expectations. Flavor severely lacking, this could have been due to lack of sauce. Everything pictured was "coated" but as you can see you can barely see the sauce. I gave them 3 stars because everything was hot and cooked to my liking. I was really excited to taste their flavors but after this visit I probably won't be returning. I could get crispy un-sauced wings from Popeyes or anywhere else honestly.

Good everytime. I've ordered for a variety of events and the wings are always popular among the crowd. My favorite is lemon pepper and bayou beast and chipotle bbq.

While in NOLA I stumbled across this gem. A friend recommended it and always the foodie I figured why not? I have never bought wings in NOLA but I'm glad I tried these. The Bayou Sweet Heat was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy...fried to a wonderful crispy that absorbs and holds the sauce well. The Ranch Fries....whew!!! Those are a meal all by themselves. The staff was friendly and patient. I had no issues with getting my questions answered about the flavors or heat consistency. This restaurant was featured on Man vs Food and has a challenge for the HOTTEST wings. It's small so eating in wouldn't be recommended. They do have a couple of picnic tables outside.

Everyone knows the chicken tenders and wings here are awesome (if not, read my previous review), but what else is awesome is their customer service. It was nice weather today so my husband and I decided to walk over with our dog and new puppy to get wings and get rid of some of that new puppy energy. It started to get a bit toasty, so my husband bought them a water bottle, but the puppy was struggling to figure out how to drink out of the squirt bottle, and the owner noticed, so he was kind enough to bring out a plastic container with water in it. Which was an incredibly kind gesture and we (and the puppy) were super grateful! So thank you! P.s. lemon pepper might be our new favorite flavor, and both dogs loved getting little pieces of chicken tenders for being such good boys! They both think the chicken tenders are the best walk treat ever! So human AND dog approval :)

The information online is NOT accurate. They are only accepting online orders. No walk in, not by phone call when you stand outside because they don't allow customers inside. Very disappointed. Covid seems to be an excuse to not give good customer service these days.

Just yum, I love winging sometimes for lunch and dinner here. Every choice and flavor for me has been such a great hit for my taste buds. It's call in to order and pick up type of place however they do have seating areas and benches outside to eat. What I usually order are obviously the wings, but the secret is to get them tossed in hot honey mustard( yes it's a thing, it's my thing at least) it just magically does it for me. I think that kinda know me or have e my phone number down in the system that they don't have to take my name anymore which may be a bad a good thing! Any who on this particular trip I ordered their bleu cheese burger and I was very very surprised at how freaking awesome it tasted! It comes with a side of fries as well and those fries were bomb af. There's like this juicy tenderness to the burger but it's hugggggge and you get to dress it how you want bcos it's on the side. But I'm glad I chose a burger this time and it turned out to be great!

please note: this order came through Door Dash I am usually not a wing person, but Bayou Hot Wings will change your mind and life. we ordered from Door Dash last night from them. a 10 piece Korean bbq, hot wing, pepper jelly chicken tenders and fries. the korean bbq was amazing. cooked to perfection and crispy. I could eat this marinade on anything. the hot wings were great but the homemade ranch really amped up the flavor. the fries were not the best but since it was delivered, it could have been from the box it was in. the real superstar was the chicken tender. this tender was thicc, juicy and cooked perfect! it's hard to describe how this chicken tender was made because you can taste the care it came from. overall, if you're not a wing person or love wings in general; Bayou Hot Wings is your hook up.

One of my favorite wing spots anywhere. So simple to call in and they have your order ready right away. Good service would make me a regular here. They have the variety. Whether you want drier wings or more saucy, they have just what you need. The flavor is excellent here. It's the college spot right across Tulane so you'll see the younger crowd waiting around. They have a spice challenge with photos posted all over the shop of who has completed it. Honestly, this is one of my favorites for chicken wings and the spice level is tolerable. Fries are great too. Can't go wrong here in terms of price and taste.

LATE POST! I decided to try a fried shrimp tossed in Bayou Hot and garlic Parmesan. And let me just say it did not disappoint. The shrimp tasted so fresh and fried to perfection. I've heard good things about this place so I definitely may go back and try their hot wings!

The wings was very nasty and poor sauce I wouldn't recommend this business to anyone also it was highly priced for the wings

Pretty good we eat here often. Sometimes the lemon pepper wings can be too salty & although I love the fried pickles, they are super greasy.

Can we talk about the best wings in the city ?? Whenever I crave wings Bayou Hot Wings is the first to come to mind. I love to order the wings with the Bayou Sweet Heat Sauce along with a side of Housemade Buttermilk Ranch dipping sauce. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. But the next time you are craving wings do yourself a favor and stop here !

i was visiting New Orleans for a weekend and being from Atlanta (wing city), i had to try some wings. Besides the hormonal injections, they were pretty good. Not too crispy and very tender. I got the bayou hotboy sauce w/ ranch. twas just enough heat.

I tried this place out after having some serious withdrawals from hot wings. Being new to New Orleans I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it ago. Parking is freely available outside the place ,which is convenient. It's in a little complex and they have a few other take out places too. Such as a pizza place and subway. I saw a place called kupcake factory very close as well. Anyway, back to the wings. I ordered 10 bayou hot wings flavor, 10 teriyaki wing flavor, small fries and onion rings. It came to just under $20. We ordered take away and it took very quick to come to out the kitchen. It was hot and fresh. The wings were well done and the flavored were superb. The fries were good too. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the union rings. The batter just glided off the onion and it was soggy. So avoid the onion rings. Other than that I would definitely go back to try the other flavours.

A USA Today article led me to Bayou for the hottest wings in Louisiana. I did not try the hottest but I did try the next step down. Perfectly cooked wings, sauce really compliments wing, not overwhelming at all. Will return the next time I'm in town.

Bayou hot wings have become one of my favorite wing spots uptown. I go to school nearby and stop by pretty often for the delicious and affordable food. You have so many different options for for dry/wet wing options. Their sides are also insanely delicious. I love their fries pickles, onion rings, and fries! Their sauces are also so good, my favorite being their in house buttermilk ranch. The perfect sauce to compliment my wings and sides.

This is the most dependable restaurant that I go to in the city. Whenever I want something that I know is going to leave me satisfied, Bayou is always my go-to. They are ALWAYS consistent. My biggest pet peeve with restaurants is when I go there once and it is super delicious, and then I rave about it, go there a second time and it is lukewarm. That is never the case at Bayou. It has been just as good every time I have gone after my first time going. The only thing I'm sad about is that they got rid of their steak potato fries. But the wings are so good, I just get the wings and just don't get the fries. They also have very good ranch. (If you like ranch dressing, you know all ranch dips are good)

This is my very 1st yelp post.. This place is hot garbage. First of all the tips was left on the flats witch is trash. These wings are the worst I ever spent my money on period. I can't even finish these wings & the sauce is terrible. I can honestly say I will never ever buy food from this place again. Do not waste your hard earned money on this place..

Hands down the best wings around! Sauces are made with all local ingredients (steen's cane syrup, crystal hot sauce). The two owners/chefs Allen & Kyle are very down to earth & big local sports fans. Always treat you as if a new costumer. Theres not a thing on the menu i havent loved. Some of my favorites besides the wings, is the shrimp Remy wrap & the Caesar chicken wrap. I dont know how they make their caesar dressing but i wish i did! They also have this wicked wing eating challenge, The Bayou Beast! 10 wings in 5 minutes, bones have to be cleaned, keep in mind these wings are made from the blood of satan. I had a friend that had tried it and he only ate his way into wing #5 before forfeiting his way to the bathroom. If you complete this painful task, you get your picture taken & hung on the "Wall of Fame", with your blood red eyes and chunky orange hotness all over your mouth..and then you die shortly. I mean, you get a t-shirt stating your beast status. Theres a 20 something dollar fee to enter, so youre basically paying to be tortured or paying for a tshirt, choose wisely.. And if you are really lucky, you might run into Adam Richman from Man vs Food/Travel channel. This is his favorite spot to eat & claims them as the best wings in the world!

Bayou Hot Wings.... Oh, how I was excited to visit. I was recommended to go here since they have the "best wings in town", so I was naturally very excited. I just moved here from Atlanta, so I believe I know a wing or two because I've seen a wing or two. I got there and learned that they do not take orders on site, which already got us off to a poor start. Determined, I called my order in and they would not answer the phone. I tried placing my order online but it was more expensive than calling in. After a few call attempts I got to place my order--10 piece wings with a side order of garlic butter parmesan fries, then I sat in my car for 15 minutes waiting for my food. Honestly, I wish that they never answered the phone. Bayou Hot Wings has the most mediocre wings that I have ever tasted. Whoever thinks that this is the best wing in town obviously grew up eating Great Value frozen wings cooked with a hairdryer. The wings from Bayou Hot Wings were a tasteless, soggy mess that ruined my entire day and made me question why five chickens had to LOSE THEIR LIFE for my mediocre meal. And I wish I could say that the fries were a redemption arc, but they were worse than the wings. My fries were a collection of soggy skins somehow drenched in a butter devoid of all flavor, with a mass of tasteless grated parmesan. I don't understand how it is possible for this combination of ingredients to be so bland. If Bayou Hot Wings is the best wing New Orleans has to offer, I recommend you take your business to the nearest Popeyes. The chickens at Popeyes who sacrificed their life for your meal are at least seasoned and fried properly, as opposed to whatever Bayou Hot Wings is offering. If I am forced to return to Bayou Hot Wings again in the future, I will instead eat my $20 bill since it has more flavor than anything at this restaurant.

I could leave a simple review and just say, "Best Wings in the City".... but what good would that do any of us. This place, nuzzled in University Village Shopping Center on S. Claiborne, is an absolute gold mine for wing fanatics and food lovers alike. I've actually visited a few times, but this is my first review for Bayou Hot Wings. Food wise, customer service wise, etc. Bayou Hot Wings gets it. I've never had a bad experience here. They are quick with your order and always friendly. Personally, I enjoy the Bayou Hot Boys with a side of Small Fries. For those of you out there... the small fries are not small in quantity or quality. The wings are always cooked to perfection and in a timely manner... and they always have me coming back for more. It's not overpriced in any sense of the imagination either. In regard to the Bayou Hot Boys, they aren't extremely hot in my opinion, but what they aren't in heat... they make up for in flavor. It's almost as if the sauce is perfectly concocted for each individual. I'm pretty sure every sauce on the menu is made -- in house -- including their ranch. Bayou Hot Wings' ranch is like a taste of heaven, now I don't know how to describe ranch... but it's not too ranchy and not too non-ranchy if that makes any sense? It makes sense to me. Besides the point, if I could buy a gallon of their ranch alone I would... and I'm not even a ranch guy.... so look you're probably wondering...why 4 stars if everything is so great.... and everything is great. The reason for 4 stars is the fact that it is so small, and there is basically nowhere to sit. I know.. I know it's labeled as fast food... not "dine in"... but this place is fantastic, and has so much foot traffic that seating at some point becomes a necessity. It has some lunch tables located outside, and some bar style seating inside... but that's about it. Id love to sit down and enjoy some of the best wings in the city with some great people...that's all I have to say. Just a side note for all the people out there who like a challenge.... they do have a wing challenge... with some of the hottest sauce...many have tried and most have failed. I, for one, haven't mustered up the courage to try it yet.. but when that day comes it is sure to be reviewed. All in all, this is a great place... I will continue to order my wings from here because honestly... they can't be topped! Lt. Dane Over and Out

Came here for some wings and shrimp wasn't disappointed! Very popular spot based form all the tv coverage so had to check it out. First the staff is super friendly and helpful , extremely patient at explain the menu and their sauces. Gave good recs on their wings. The wings were cooked to order and very tasty! I like mines on the spicier side and was very pleased. Would definitely come back here. Only down side is it's more catered for take out, small countertop seating inside.

Visited this little gem today and, I must say, I was quite impressed. I had the lemon pepper and Sauce 4. The Sauce 4 wings are pretty much like hot wings with a slight zest. They were well sauced and full of flavor and spice. The lemon pepper wings were a bit unusual, but in a good way. I'm used to a more baked lemon pepper wing, but the fact that they were fried was pleasant. I do think there could be more lemon pepper seasoning. I like to really taste the lemon. Also, I find that these are not wings that I'd like after they cool off. They are near phenomenal when served hot, but I didn't like the taste of them once they cooled. It is probably because they are fried. Overall, I'll return. The wings are served hot and flavorful. The cheese fries were pretty damn good, too.

It wasn't bad I just don't think it was all that. I'll be honest I ate it all I had lemon pepper wings I've just had better ill give it a 6/10

This is my favorite wing spot in all of New Orleans. Best flavors, best quality. Absolutely the best!!!

Nothing quite goes with football and beer like buffalo wings. For that, this is my new go to. Wide variety of sauces coated on small crisp b-wings (drums and flats). I like the Asian and chipotle bbq flavors. Convenient take-out window and they're fairly quick filling orders.

I had the Korean BBQ , to me it wasn't spicy, but I prefer spice that makes my tongue go numb, so theres that. But the Korean flavor on it was spicy and just a touch of spice! Great job! In terms of portion size, if you want more bang for your buck, get the tenders! The chicken wings are quite small and not worth the price.
