(31,464 posts)I agree that the breaded wings are too much. Not exactly a "piece of disgusting goo," but not good. Part of the problem is that Hooters doesn't use big, meaty wings. They're on the scrawny side, and can't hold up to the thick breading. It's more like deep fried breading with a little bit of chicken inside. I like the Three Mile Island flavor, so I decided to try 'em naked. Again, they're on the menu.
BTW, the basic hot sauce is essentially Frank's or Tobasco, which are both vinegar based. It's pretty common for wing joints to take the easy route and use one of these. If you actually follow Frank's "original Buffalo wings" recipe, it cuts the vinegary hot sauce with a ton of butter. That's usually how the milder wings are made.
Anyway, we all like what we like. My real point was that the op asked about the food, and your implication was that the wings only come one way. Peace! Enjoy your wings!
