Bird’s Nest

2500 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

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. You have to get them bone-in with their signature buffalo pepper sauce and an ice cold pitcher of Miller Lite on NFL Sunday’s.

Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap

41 East Superior Street Chicago, IL 60611

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!
