Badabing Wings

This small counter-service spot in Uptown is what you get when you mix old-timey gangster decor with chicken wings. And while we’re not entirely sure what Sopranos posters and mugshots of Al Capone have to do with chicken wings, what we are sure of is that the wings at Badabing are delicious. They’re marinated overnight in savory spices, loading them with plenty of flavor even without sauce. But despite already being seasoned, you should still utilize at least one of their 14 sauces, like garlic parmesan, or their signature sweet and spicy Al Capone sauce.
