This weekend is the Super Bowl. The Big Game. The pinnacle of chicken wing vacations. Although those who may have been a little more prepared have already placed large orders at Bdubs or Wingstop, I decided to head to a controversial area: the pizza chain wing. As everyone knows, a slice of pizza is one of the best additions to a plate of chicken wings. Fuck with your celery. Not in this house. So, in pursuit of truth, justice, and taste, I tested four of the leading pizza chains’ wing offerings and ranked them.
For this investigation, I have considered a number of factors. The quality of chicken, wing sauce, baking and dipping sauce options was weighed most heavily. But I also included details on taste options and costs (based on franchises within a 10-mile radius of my home in Brooklyn, New York). As a well-known Dominos stan and pizza connoisseur, I was even surprised at my final decision, but we can not experience nepotism when it comes to an important assessment like this.
Below are my personal notes that vaguely (but not directly) reflect the sentiments of the Esquire staff in general. After a back-to-back day in which they sampled pizza chain wing wings in the office, one Esquire editor did exclaim, ‘Yesterday I thought I did not even have wings. Now I need it, ‘before adding,’ I have to go wash my feet. However, with some of the options below, washed feet can stay clean for just as long, as you have to go back virtually seconds, if not thirds.
1. Pizza Hut
Cost: About 85 cents per wing
Fragrances: 9
As with my college boyfriend, I was always wary of Pizza Hut because it could never give me the consistency I was looking for. These are hits with the pre-WingStreet © variety of chicken wings. When they were good, damn, they were good. When they were not, I was trapped after a tragedy that raged between sowing and leather-like slaughter. But things have changed. Although Pizza Hut is a little tougher than I would have hoped, he is the greatest leader with his loving title WingStreet © Wings on the mountaintop of the pizza chain wing.
Crisp and hard-fried, Pizza Hut knows how to cook a wing. The sauce options are so extensive that it can be overwhelming. There are literally three buffaloes. The classic buffalo from the brand gets the job done, but for the more adventurous, the sticky fire of the honey sriracha is a good departure. The chain also offers two options for dry rubbing – would I suggest Cajun? – along with a naked choice.
I never sleep on a dipping sauce, and both the Pizza Hut blue cheese and farming varieties offer a taste of a wonderful experience. Also a note: the wing holders have the shape of small, black spaceships, which I found equally new and attractive. Just like at a dining room that serves Mexican and Chinese food in one way or another, I was suspicious of how much one place could fare well, but from what I ate, Pizza Hut knows its game.
2. Dominos
Cost: About 90 cents per wing
Fragrances: 4
In a way, I struggle between life in the present and life in the past. My own bias wants to put Dominos in the first place because I love Dominos pizza, but I also remember a Dominos wing from earlier. The wings were previously unbroken and have a certain “Buffalo-style” authenticity that is lost with the new decision of the company to brood its wings. But this development is no reason to throw Dominos away altogether. The sauce – dare I say I’ve find a skosh of Frank’s Red Hot? – is a perfect balance of spices and vinegar, which ensures a simply delicious adventure. The artificial blend of heat and flavor is usually liberal with the sauce technique, but it’s a pleasure, but the excess can lead to an unhappy soaked area.
Although the blue cheese of the chain is more similar to a slightly spicy white cream, the farm offers a greasy tong. The calorie hit is worth using 160 calories per cup. It’s like a small bowl of spiced lard, and yes, it’s a recommendation. However, the bowl is not the strongest on this list, I must admit. Pastries enough, the lack of sharpness is compensated by the overall size of the wing, which is good.
3. Little emperors
Cost: About 75 cents per wing
Fragrances: 4
Costs, coupled with Little Caesars’ constant ability to surprise and amaze, increase the chain’s offering far above its next best competitor. Although Little Caesars did not answer the call for wing samples this week, I ate its wings last month, and they did not let me down. The affordable pizza brand offers one of the few “spicy” dry wings, although the wings are also available in three different sauce varieties. It even allows the spice repellent to make their own sauce, although the buffalo sauce is useful.
The farming dip option at Little Caesars will get jobs, but it’s oily. I take a maverick approach and pair the wings with the very best blend of garlic butter. Again, the sauce is fine and the farm is edible. But probably, when it comes to the literal drum and / or clapper, there is no better real chicken wing in the mix than Little Caesars.
Papa John’s
Cost: About 90 cents per wing
Fragrances: 5
A spokesman for Papa John is currently asking for a wing sample. Unfortunately there is no next time, so my rating is based on the garlic parmesan and buffalo flavors I tried in late December. Chunky and yet miniature, I found the Daddy’s wings above all cute cute. Unfortunately, the fragrance did not deliver in the same way as its competitors. Like Little Caesars, I chose to dip my wings in the brand’s garlic sauce – a real gem on a menu that can be deadly. The farm has a slight sweetness that upsets my palette, so I try to avoid it if possible.
The Papa John’s wing sauce flavors work about half as fast. Garlic parmesan is notorious for being oily and not inviting. And I know an inviting, oily texture. The buffalo has no observable spice and could not lock on to the outside of the wing. However, the Dad did not keep his promise to have ‘better food’ again, I’ve never turned a wing away.
