A REAL CONTENDER


After racing to Newark in the rain, parking too far by mistake, running down the street and twisting my ankle to make it inside before the last gate came down, I was met wit the holy grail that was worth the adventure. This holy grail is called Planet Wings. They were more than willing to explain all the sauces we had questions about and to showcase the ones they considered "the best." There were about 24 sauces (enough to make Cluck-U cringe) to try so we tried as many sauces as we economically could. The AB Chefs and I tried the following sauces; Gourmet Garlic, Hot BBQ, Honey BBQ, Leapin' Lizard, Jamaican Jerk, Hot, and the greatly feared "Suicidal." To make a short story shorter, the the only sauce we all agreed on was the Gourmet Garlic. The name is fitting, and the flavor is a dependable follow up. These wings were finished first! The true test of the night was the Suicidal wings. These wings had to meet the approval of "The Fireman" himself, AB Chef Ant. He was not fased by the heat (so he said after coughing) he hailed their flavor! Even though we all agreed on the Gourmet Garlic flavor as being a standout, I till believe that the "Hot BBQ" wings were the best. There's 24 sauces to try, so figure it out for yourself!

  1. I would have to agree with AB Chef Al, I have no complaints about Planet Wings. Even though they were closing they still allowed us to come in and order. Their customer service was excellent. They explained their different sauces and types of wings that they had. Nice to see that we can go somewhere local to get good wings. We agreed on gourmet garlic but I think that the next time I'm in Planet Wings, I will order the Leapin Lizard. I liked the combination of sweetness and spice. With 24 different sauces, you're sure to find at least one that is suitable for you.
