Plenty of places serve fine wings. A great wing spot is rarer, and it usually nails the same handful of things every single time. Here is what to weigh when you are deciding whether a spot earns a permanent pin on your map.
Judge a wing spot on these and you will rarely be wrong.
The best spots are great on a random Tuesday, not just when the owner is in. Reliability is the hardest thing to fake.
Skin that stays crisp even under sauce is the sign of proper frying technique. Soggy wings sink an otherwise good spot.
A great sauce has more going on than heat or sweetness alone - it should make you want the next bite immediately.
Fair size for the price, and wings that are actually meaty. A cheap order of tiny wings is not a bargain.
One great meal can be luck; three great meals is a great spot. The map rewards the places people come back to, which is a better signal than a single rave review from someone who went once.
