We had Bama White BBQ, Honey Buffalo, House BBQ, and Sticky. The wing presentation was worthy of a full-color magazine spread and they tasted every bit as perfect as they looked. Hindsight BBQ in Waterbury, is the first spot we had wings smoked Texas style on a giant XXX-gallon smoker. It is our understanding that the other two spots prepare their wings the same way. We were treated to Buffalo, Bourbon BBQ, Carolina Mustard, and Kitchen Sink and every single flavor was a solid 10-out-of-10. This little gem is one of three restaurants owned by Chip Kohn, including Beachland Tavern and Rockledge Grille. We discovered Beachland Smoke in West Hartford. For their photographer’s convenience we picked out a place closer to Harford. Last summer we were contacted by The Hartford Courant to be featured in a story for their Sunday edition. But we’ve never had any that were better. We won’t go so far to say that they were THE best smoked wings we’ve had. We ate Smoked Habanero, Carolina BBQ, BBQ Jerk, Buffalo, and Honey BBQ. Owner Kevin Reid treated us to some of the absolute best wings any of us has ever had. I only had the xx that day, but it was so good that I had to return with our Wingchef Ryan and Doni The Cleaner for another go round. I had to order by phone, stay in the parking lot, and my order was brought out to me by fully masked employees. Reid’s BBQ in Derby was a stop I made by myself back at the very beginning of the pandemic in May 2020. This is, withouth question, the most comprehensive list of smoked wing joints in CT. Following is a list of places where The Wingaddicts have filmed episodes and dined on smoked wings - professionally done. Last summer I did smoked wings for the first time Fireball Whisky Wings and they were amazing!īut I’d rather leave it to the pros. I personally have used a Traeger for years but don’t have the patience to use it often. ![]() In our Facebook “Wingaddicts Community” this weekend, Paige Heredia asked the group “Where are the best smoked wings in Connecticut?" Now there’s a question we can get excited about!įirst off, let’s pay tribute to all of our home pit masters out there who fire up their own smokers. Again, all a matter of personal preference. Deep frying is the most-common method for cooking wings, but you can also grill wings, bake in a conventional oven, use an air fryer, bake in a high-heat pizza oven, cook on a wok or stovetop skillet, or you can smoke those wings. ![]() In addition to the fact that there are different sizes of wings and hundreds of different flavors, there are also (and this is the big one) different cooking techniques. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. “It’s an impossible question to answer,” is the only way to honestly reply. It’s a question we get every single day when we meet new Wingaddicts.
