Hooters is nationally known for their chicken wings among other things. My purpose is to test and see what is so special about those wings. I was definitely on a mission to find out what was so delightful about those wings. On a boring Wednesday night I decided to check out the Hooters on route 22 in Union New Jersey, to see what the big deal was. Hooters offer an assortment of sauce that gives their wings a unique spicy kick. Their variety of sauces include Mild, Medium, Hot, 3 Mile Island, and the mother of them all the 911 sauce. Well, for me being the spicy lover that I am I went all the way with the 911 sauce, I was a bit curious to know if I had to sign some kind of waiver, I was informed by my waitress that this was not Cluck U Chicken and it was not necessary. I would unquestionably state that for the average person the 911 sauce delivered a powerful punch. The buffalo wing were well coated and very tender, the taste of the spicy 911 sauce did not overwhelm the taste or take away from the flavor of the chicken. They both embrace each other for good mix between the chicken and the hot sauce. I also tried the 3 mile island, which delivered a wonderful mix of spiciness to the chicken. Now for the rest of the sauces, they are not as potent at as the 911 and 3 mile island sauce they seem to very tame on the punch they deliver. If the spicy delivery is not your department then you will definitely enjoy the rest of those sauces. If you love spicy food and especially hot wings I recommend that you to try their 911 sauce, and the 3 mile island on chicken wings.

Hooters can not hold a torch to Cluck-U when it comes to sauces, but the chicken was definitely tender, and fried well. I will say that Hooter's hottest sauces seemed to be dominated by cayenne pepper, but with a touch of jalepeno, which gives a different flavor. Thje only thing is, if you don't order the hottest sauces, there will be NO FLAVOR. Hooters is among the best, but does not hold the title in my opinion. - AB Chef AL

I have to agree and say that the wings at Hooter are very juicy and tender. I had the hot ones which were not hot at all. They had a buttery flavor which I did not expect. Overall, the wings were still good. I also tried the 3 mile island and 911 sauces. Both were too hot for me personally. However, both had a lot more flavor than the hot wings did. If I had to choose one, I would vote for the 3 mile island sauce. They were hot but I was eventually able to deal with the heat.
