Best of Canberra - Chicken wings

20 January 2015 | Sophia Carlini

I feel like chicken wings used to be a very American thing. When I first went to the States I tried my first ever American Buffalo wings and now I am addicted. I hate blue cheese, but I love blue cheese sauce with wings!

Recently though, wings have become a popular menu item, particularly in bars. And it’s not just American Buffalo wings, these restaurants and bars are mixing it up and making their own flavour combinations, which suits me just fine. The more chicken wings the better!

After all this talk of chicken wings and blue cheese sauce, I really want to know, where can I get the best chicken wings in Canberra?

I’d vote for Soulfood Ktichen. They do a few things oddly, but they sure do make good wings. Lip tingly tangy, buttery, vinegary, moreish and with a side of fries to also dip in the bluecheese dip. Yummo.

Try Soulfood Kitchen in Erindale. Best ribs and chicken made by a real Southerner…as in USA, not southern Canberra

I agree Soulfood kitchen is pretty good and their food easily trumps Smoque.

I was unimpressed with the whole Smoque thing. Service wasn’t bad but food not to my liking. Soulfood is pretty authentic…based on my experiences in the southern states

Unfortunately nobody does the Nashville style hot chicken locally but I reckon it’s the ducks nuts with a few beers on a warm summer afternoon. Might even buy a case of Tsing Tao and do some over the Australia Day weekend.

Isa St Bakery in Fyshwick.
Superb chicken wings

I haven’t followed an article so closely for a while. I mean this is important stuff.
The Isa St bakery would be ideal. Will give it a whirl. Thanks to 1967 for the tip.

The chicken wings at the Peruvian van Mr papa in braddon are excellent and are not the standard buffalo style.

Not a huge wing eater, but try Shannons BBQ at Higgins shops.
