Michigan Spot Gets National Attention for Its Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are a very popular food items in Michigan, especially for any kind of sports. We’ve obviously had a great year for sports so far, between the Phillies and the Eagles, so I can imagine that demand for chicken wings is at an all time high.
Now, a Michigan restaurant is getting props for having the best chicken wings in the state. “Eat This, Not That!” put together a list of the best chicken wings in every state. What a delicious chore for them to put together this list.
“Not only are they a staple on sports bar menus, but you can also find them on the appetizer menus at fancy restaurants,” the publication says of wings. “Creative chefs experiment with wet sauces. And dry rubs. And frying techniques and batters. If you’re a purist, though, the classic buffalo wing remains a perfect bite: a crunchy, deep-fried exterior drenched in a tangy-spicy sauce; juicy chicken; and an obligatory dunk in creamy blue cheese.” As for the history of chicken wings, pretty much everyone knows where they originated, with the outlet stating, “Deep-fried chicken has long been synonymous with Southern cooking. But chicken wings? The idea for this bar food delicacy was hatched in—you guessed it—Buffalo, New York.”
So, what’s tops in Michigan? Coop in Detroit. “Coop sources chicken from a local farm and gives it a 24-hour marinade with a blend of Asian and Caribbean flavors. The wings get a guava barbecue sauce,” the publication states. “For a memorable meal, team them up with the Caribbean corn that’s slathered in cilantro aioli, and topped with toasted coconut, queso fresco, bacon crumbles, and Old Bay.” That certainly sounds delicious. I wonder if they have any vegetarian options. Find the full list here.
