Breaded wings are for people who like bread more than they like wings.
Go nekkid.
Go nekkid.
And bone-in wings are for people who like making a mess more than they like eating.
Go boneless.
Might as well get chicken nuggets from Mickey D's and pour sauce on them. Bone-in.
Ohhh the places I could go with this.....
I prefer the bone

It's not even close to the same thing! We're talking chunks of chicken meat, not formed shapes of chicken bits.
The wing is a worthless part of the chicken! Barely better than gnawing the skin off the chicken claws!
Whether buffalo, fried, or grilled, I am firmly anti-wing.
Why do you hate America? Probably hates apple pie and Superman to
Village Pizza here in Tallahassee has shockingly good wings. They only come in one medium Buffalo sauce, but they are perfect size and finish and taste great.
In fact, I believe nothing is more American than valuing a positive relationship between the amount of work required, vs the reward at the end.
With bone-in wings you have to pry and dig to get the skinny little sliver of meet out from between the two bones in the flap, and you have to gnaw around the drummette to get enough meat to classify as a full bite. To me, that's a negative ratio and is reminiscent of communist breadlines and food rationing.
Conversely, with the boneless wing, you're getting straight to the gluttony. You can house many boneless wings in the time you're wasting screwing around with the genetic leftovers of the useless chicken wing. That kind of effortless consumption might as well be a bald eagle wearing Levi's, driving a pickup while listening to Lee Greenwood.
The wussification of America.
Our protestant heritage dictates that the more you work, the better chance you get into heaven. Therefore, my gnawing around the chicken bone is a direct phone call to the man upstairs that i am predestined for the great reward. Your laziness condemns you to a life of eternal damnation.

I agree with DFS that wings should either be naked or very lightly breaded, I do not like thick breading on wings.
As far as the best in Florida, I honestly haven’t had any mindblowing wings that I can recall. The best I’ve had are at the UpperDeck in WeekiWachee/Rogers Park and the Hobbit in Tally. At the Hobbit I really love their Garlic Heat, but will go for the lemon pepper, fiesta ranch and garnet and gold for variety when it’s cheap wing night on Thurs or Sun.
For bbq wings, I do like the wings at Dreamland and Hamaknockers.
Oh, I just now did think of some mindblowing wings I had in Florida but the restaurant only has them as a periodic special and it’s not a regular item. And that’s the bbq duck wings at Goodman’s BBQ in Perry. I would get them every time if they had them.
There’s a place in downtown Tampa called Yeomans that I submit has the best wings ever. For anyone who lives in area it’s a few blocks from arena.
Boneless wings are white meat which everyone who has an ounce of taste and sophistication knows is the worst part of the chicken.

It's long-gone, but there used to be a place in Tampa called Casey's Cove that had outstanding wings. Very lightly breaded, cooked properly (i.e. crispy), great sauce. It was near USF, in the sketchy area near the University Mall where there was a pretty strong chance your car would get stolen while you were chowing down.
Buffalo's Wings & Rings...It's where the California Chicken Grill is located now. That was the first place I ever had wings, and they were amazing! (It's also where I learned never to try any labeled "nuclear" or something similar.
)
I could not agree more. Traditional wings outweigh the reward. There is far too much work involved involved in eating meat off the bone.
I somehow feel safe saying that here now.

What in the name of Bobby Bowden is a "California Chicken Grill" Damn, Tally has gotten soft.
I'd bet if you made a line graph with the town's general softness along with that of the football team, they'd correlate pretty closely.
Being from Buffalo, this thread makes me want to slam my head in a car door repeatedly. Don't even know why I would read this one.
I really enjoyed the originals at the Anchor Bar when I was in Buffalo but I know you locals will say that it’s not the best.
Because Buffalo holds some secret technique for frying a wing and adding butter/hot sauce or because Buffalo and all of western NY is a crap hole and if i lived there I would make every attempt to off myself?
Judging by the responses in this thread, apparently so.
Not that I'm aware of. From memory the full name of the original is something like Frank and Teresa's Anchor Bar or something like that.
They tried to franchise. I think most closed, there are a handful still open. Don't know if the one in Florida is a legacy franchise
Yeah, but it's close enough. The idea of "best wings" in Buffalo is a little silly. There is a max level for how good a wing can get, and probably 90+% of the non-national chain places will produce a wing at 90-100% of that max, whether it's a bar, a pizza joint, whatever. A bad wing in Buffalo means you've had bad luck (or went to a national chain).
But I'm just talking Buffalo style wings. If someone likes chargrilled blueberry hyacinth wings the best, then no, they won't find the standard anywhere near Buffalo.
That's fine, it just makes my skin crawl, to me it's like hearing people argue the best BBQ is the McRib. But everyone should eat what they like.
The truth is, everything else on the menu has been trash for a long time, and they're VERY expensive. Not surprised franchising doesn't work out (although they have one in the Buffalo airport. If they weren't a tourist destination, then they'd be just another sub-standard restaurant.
I haven't been in probably five years, at which time the wings were still solid, but not something I'd make a trip for.
It's been almost 25 years since I was in school in Tallahassee, but at that time the only edible wing for a Buffalo kid was at The Pub. Except they didn't cut the tips off the flats, which is pretty crazy. They had all-you-can eat wings on Wednesday for $6 or something, and a couple times they had to tell "No, that's all you can eat, get out."
Yes, a wing should be buffalo style. They only things you should argue about is the heat and whether you prefer wings or drums.
I'm not opposed to boneless, but it should still have buffalo sauce on it.
