Shifty's Bar & Grill · Syracuse
A Syracuse institution for the salt-and-pepper dry rub and the smoky-tangy Frankenstein wings, featured in The Great Chicken Wing Hunt.
The Wildcat · Syracuse
Game-day wings across a broad flavor lineup, including the Wildcat (spicy honey mustard) and Dragon.
Cicero Country Pizza · Cicero
A Cicero pizzeria open since 1972 that This Is CNY's Jacob Pucci reviewed specifically for its wings. The draw is the red garlic wings, a tomato-based sauce blended with the house wing sauce for a spicy, sweet, garlicky coat; the review counted them among Central New York's best. A dozen runs about $15. Order the red garlic wings.
