Buffalo Joes (Evanston), Bird's Nest and Melnicks have been my Top 3 for a while now. But I recently tried Output and they are right up there with Bird's Nest IMO.

Buffalo Joe's is great.

There's a place called Franks for the Memories out in Mundelein for those in that area, pretty good wings as well.

I'm waiting for the obligatory "The wings I get frozen from Marianos/Jewel/Walmart/Meijer are actually really good"

Don't know that I've had them.

Just your OP is clearly about best wings... restaurants.... in Chicago suburbs.

Someone usually shows up and says something about eating said item, in this case wings, at home.

Which often devolves the thread into homemade arguments lol.

The shit at Mariano's is good, Jewel is subpar imo.

There is one place where I will not order wings, and BWW is it.

Bdubs SUCKED for a long time. Overpriced chitty little pigeon wings. However, recently they have changed and their quality of wing is back to an acceptable standard.

You know my comment really wasn't focused on frozen wings, right?
