› Struts - Jacksonville, Oxford › Cooter Brown's - Jacksonville Cooter Brown's BBQ keeps it simple with their sauces: wings come in medium, hot, mojo and mild or hot BBQ sauce, served with tortilla chips and ranch or bleu cheese dressing. That simplicity comes across in the wings, which are deliciously direct. Like Heroes, Struts specializes in wings, with a ton of sauces available to wash your wings in, like hot honey mustard, sweet chili pepper, Wild West sauce and the fabled "Ass Kickin'" sauce. Wings can be served boneless, too, which is convenient for kids and lazy eaters like ourselves, and every order comes with tortilla chips, celery and your choice of dipping sauce. We went with sweet chili and WEST wings and loved every bit of it. › Peerless Saloon and Grille - Anniston The Peerless keeps a range of sauces in stock, ranging from the mild to extra hot buffalo sauce to more exotic selections like Caribbean jerk, teriyaki glaze and garlic romano ranch sauces, which we tried and found absolutely amazing. Paired with the Peerless' unmatched atmosphere and it's an amazing wing experience. › Jefferson’s - Jacksonville, Oxford › Thai One On - Anniston Jefferson’s has everything you’d expect from a wing restaurant, with sauce flavors beyond simply “hot,” though where they really shine is their double-dipped wings, served up in a big pile in one of the restaurant’s party platters. Every order comes with chips, celery and ranch or bleu cheese dressing. ✻ It might be a surprise to see a Thai restaurant in a wing roundup, but Thai One On's Asian wings are an appetizer that's worth a look. Big, crunchy wings are slathered in the House sauce, a brown, sweet and tangy mix, served with a jalapeno sauce on the side that tastes fresh like the pepper was just cut. July 2015 INSIGHT
