I don't consider myself a wing aficionado, so I never thought I'd give a place specializing in chicken wings a five star rating. However, the wings at Dienner's managed to show me just how delicious chicken wings can be! Done right, wings can be just as delicious as any other part of the chicken--and as meaty as some chicken legs and thighs, too.
Despite my mediocre past experience with chicken wings, I decided to take a chance and order the wings here, and I'm certainly glad that I did. Reading the other reviews convinced me that wings are Dienner's specialty, and I always try to order the food that a place is known for, so I followed suit here. Knowing Dienner's sells wings by the pound, I asked if I could get a half pound, since I'd already ordered a full lunch from another nearby BBQ stand. They told me this was possible, and even informed me that I could get more than one flavor of wing to try, so I decided to get two rotisserie and two smoky wings, which came to a bit over a pound (around $5.25 or so).
Upon trying the wings, it became immediately apparent that these wings were quite different from any other wings I'd eaten before. They were larger and meatier than any wings I'd ever had previously, with tender meat and a crisp skin. I didn't get any sauce, but the rubs applied to them were flavorful enough to stand on their own. The two varieties tasted different, but it was a bit difficult for me to identify which flavor was which. Despite this, they were both delicious, and made for a great accompaniment to the boneless rib sandwich that I had for lunch.
Needless to say, I was quite impressed with my experience at Dienner's. My only criticism was that the wings were a bit pricey, but I'd definitely say they're well worth it. The lunch combos are more reasonably priced (I believe there's a Yelp check in offer for them, as well), so I may try one of them if I stop by again. Whether you consider yourself a wing connoisseur or a wing naysayer, be sure to check out Dienner's wings--they're certain to impress, no matter what your feelings about wings!
