The best chicken wings are served here in Buffalo, New York

There are many places you can go for quality chicken wings in Western New York. Duff’s Famous Wings, Bar-Bill, Anchor Bar, Elmo’s Bar & Restaurant, and many others may be at the top of your list at any given time; however, the answer to “Where are the best chicken wings in Buffalo?” can be complicated.

It’s subjective, right? If you ask any Western New Yorker what their favorite place to get chicken wings is, they’ll give you an answer based on their own personal opinions and feelings rather than the one surefire place for wings, because there are so many great options and one is more appealing than the others.

For me the best place to buy chicken wings is The September 11 Tavern.
