Best Hot Wings

Donk’s, off West Trinity Lane — a Hooters variation whose name is a far more appealing way of saying “Gluters” — is probably the friendliest place I’ve ever visited with a sign posted at the door reading, “No Weapons, Guns or Knives.” (It’s good to get those things established up front.) What’s more, the wings are the way we like them: on the small side, fried until they pop to the bite, and not swimming in sauce. Mojo Grill’s are the opposite, but the sauces are so sinus-clearing and tasty we love ’em anyway. Knockout Wings delivers its KO with honey biscuits that customers have been known to order by the sackful, while Ghot Wingz is living up to its new headquarters in the former home of Eastside Fish, “the crunkest fish in town” (sob!).
