Heralded as arguably the best chicken wings in Chicago, Bird’s Nest sits just west of DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus and is a go-to neighborhood joint with wings that attracts patrons from every neighborhood.

Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap is the go-to place for classic buffalo wings. With plenty of sauces to choose from, affordable prices, and large portions for sharing (although, who would want to do that), this restaurant is a local favorite. If you’re feeling daring, try their XXX hot wings, the world’s hottest!

Despite being known as sports bar, this small restaurant also specializes in some of the best wings on the west side. Right near the United Center, you have a choice of 10, 20, 30, or 50pc wings, paired with exotic flavors like lemon pepper and Jim Bean Honey BBQ.
