Sweet, Smokey Or Fiery: Chicken Wings You Need To Sink Your Teeth Into

Imagine chicken wings slathered in fiery peri-peri masala and then grilled in a tandoor. The result is a crisp, slightly charred at the edges, juicy pieces of chicken, which are so good that we feel like ordering seconds and thirds. That, in a nutshell, are the fantastic Peri Peri Chicken Wings at Tayabb’s.

And if you’re feeling particularly adventurous with spice, might we recommend the ABS sauce to douse your wings with?

Apart from their craft beers which we love and have raved about here, we are also fans of Arbor’s chicken wings. We love the version, which comes doused with smoky barbecue sauce and has a blue cheese dressing. Order in half or a full dozen, or even a bucket if you're with pals and enjoy your cold one as you fly to satisfaction with these wings.

Ah! Dear ol’ Millers is an old haunt of most Bangaloreans. Located in Vasanth Nagar, meat lovers throng to the restaurant for its salivating steaks.

Either way, the wings at Millers are (dare we say?) killer.

The wings here at Hard Rock Cafe are slow-roasted to perfection and come in two sauces, the classic Buffalo sauce or the Barbeque sauce. Served with carrots, cucumbers and a blue cheese dip, these wings up their game from being mere appetizers to a filling snack. 

The residents of Kamanahalli (or ‘Kamanhattan’ as we call it) swear by Connie’s chicken wings. Their servings are generous (starting with half a dozen to 15 pieces a plate) which means that even the most gluttonous foodie is bound to meet their match at Connie’s. The sauces are winners here, with the slightly sweeter Smoked Honey BBQ or the Connie's Special BBQ. To make the wings fly, they don't give it Red Bull, they work with a spicy Jack Daniels sauce. It’s no wonder they’ve declared themselves the “Place to Meet for Meat”.

This iconic restaurant never seems to wane in popularity. They’re known for their burgers and steaks, but let’s be honest, their wings are also a winner.

Think of game day approaching and all the cool eats that come with it. Buffalo Wild Wings in Indiranagar is a new entrant in Bangalore's chicken wing scene and is making all the right noises.
