But there are a few decisions to make before you can break out the blue cheese and celery. Sure, wings are a no-brainer, but from where to get them? Buffalo Wild Wings, with more than 1,000 locations worldwide, is a major player in the sports bar and wings world, offering 21 wing flavors. But Texas-based Wingstop is proving to be an adept competitor. While the chain offers fewer flavors — only 12 — the similar prices and quality are gaining new devotees every day. To find out which chain is truly the best wing experience, I chose five comparable wing flavors from both and put them to the ultimate taste test. This is quite the undertaking, especially resisting the urge to start eating on the subway ride back to the office. Approximately 100 wings in five flavors – a fair mixture of boneless and traditional per flavor – meet on the field. The flavors are: Classic Mild, Garlic Parmesan, Asian (Buffalo Wild Wings' Asian Zing, and Wingstop's Spicy Korean Q), Classic Hot, and Mango Habanero.
