[[{“value”:”If I am going to indulge in a craving, only the best chicken wings will suffice. I like my wings plump, crispy-skinned, heavily seasoned, and served with a side of French fries. If you’re in the mood for a wings-and-fries kind of dinner, a handful of chains do the duo right. Where should you go? Here are 5 restaurant chains with the best chicken wings and fries, according to diners.
Wingstop
Wingstop has a large variety of rubs and sauces that keep diners ordering more wings on every visit. Original Hot and Lemon Pepper are two of the most popular. “Wingstop, no contest,” says a Redditor after someone asked about the best wing restaurant. “Their ranch tastes fresh and isn’t repackaged store-bought Hidden Valley, unlike what BWW and other contenders on the list tastes like. Same goes for their bleu cheese. Another rare quality: consistently good wings.” And the fries “are like none of the competitors,” they continue. They cook the natural-cut potatoes in pure soybean oil and season them with a trademark blend. “Our fries are hot and crispy, cooked-to-order, and hand-tossed in our signature Fry Seasoning,” the website declares.
Pluckers Wing Bar
Pluckers Wing Bar is another favorite for big, juicy, bone-in wings drenched in its trademark Baker’s Gold sauce. “That bakers gold is something magical,” writes a diner. “I’m from the northeast but I go to school in the south and I’m gonna say the best wing chains are not up north. Down south has a lot,” says another Pluckers fan. Diners also love the chain’s waffle fries, which you can toss in any of Pluckers’ signature wing sauces or dry rubs, including Spicy Lemon Pepper, Cajun, Garlic Parmesan, or Pickle Dust.
Buffalo Wild Wings
Buffalo Wild Wings has tasty wings and sauces. “I do BWW cause I like the sauce: wild, spicy garlic, and blazin (I get this one in the side so I can control it) are my go tos,” one says. The wings are “incredible” and a “good size, cooked great with a nice crisp on the outside and tossed in sauce perfectly,” another diner adds. The crispy-battered French fries, simply seasoned with sea salt and coarse black pepper, can be jazzed up with wing seasoning. “Forever getting Buffalo Seasoning on my @bwwings fries,” writes an Instagrammer.

Zaxby’s
Zaxby’s is a great place for wings and crinkle fries. “Zaxby’s is unquestionably the best place with a drive thru for wings (boneless and traditional),” one Redditor declares. The hot, crispy crinkle-cut potatoes are doused in Zaxby’s signature seasoning salt (a blend of salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a hint of sugar).
Hooters Original Style Wings
Hooters’ saucy wings are legendary and live up to the hype. “Hooters wings are damn good,” says a Redditor “Their Daytona Wings are my favorite chain wing of all time, and extremely consistent quality for a chain,” another says. The chain serves curly fries that are perfectly seasoned. “wings + curly fries = love,” declares a TripAdvisor diner. “I love the crispy chicken battered wings in Hooter’s. I always order it dry (no sauce) so I can try all the flavors they have to offer! Definitely try the curly fries and don’t forget to ask for their fries seasoning. It’s a bit salty but it packs a lot of flavor.”
