Little Hoolies
13135 S.W. 89th Place
Miami, FL 33176
(305) 252-9155
www.littlehoolies.com

When most South Floridians hear the name "Little Hoolies," they automatically associate it with karaoke nights and other fun activities. However, most foodies would be surprise to know that this humble spot is also the home of some of the best chicken wings in the entire peninsula. As described on the menu, the more patrons order the cheaper it gets, as eight wings go for $7.95, 16 wings are $11.95 and 24 wings cost just $16.95. Also worth noting are the Little Hoolie's special sauces, which include: 5-Alarm (extremely hot), Medium (spicy Buffalo), Mild (traditional Buffalo), Winkie (Hoolie's secret honey BBQ sauce), Garlic (Hoolie's secret garlic and butter sauce) and Tasty Grill (Grilled with Hoolie's secret mouth-watering seasonings). Also be sure and try the delicious Little Hoolie's dry rub chicken wings, which go great with an ice-cold pitcher of beer. Hours of operation are from 11 - 5 a.m. and Little Hoolies is open every day.

Shenanigans Sports Pub
3303 Sheridan St.
Hollywood, FL 33021
(954) 981-9702
www.shenaniganssportspub.com

Widely considered the top spot for chicken wings in all of Broward County, Shenanigans Sports Pub also made this year's cut. Surprises are always great, especially when it pertains to food. That's exactly what one can expect from a place like Shenanigans, which at first impression seems like an ordinary South Florida bar. However, there's nothing ordinary about these "jumbo" chicken wings, and the selection is second to none. One may choose to have the wings tossed in any of the following flavors: mild, medium, hot, Cajun, Thai sweet & spicy, garlic or BBQ. Nevertheless, Shenanigans' grilled wings separates them from the rest from the very first bite. Be sure and try the "Black N Grilled" style, especially the Jamaican Jerk and the Grilled Italian Wings. Hours of operation are 11- 4 a.m. every day.

Sports Grill Kendall

Sports Grill Kendall

9090 S.W. 97th Ave.
Miami, FL 33176
(305) 595-3335
www.sportsgrillmiami.com

Sports Grill is one of the few franchises that revolutionized the way South Floridians enjoy their chicken wings. In a nutshell, Sports Grill's success may be summed up in two simple words: "special grilled." These specialty wings are fried, tossed in Sports Grill's unique buffalo sauce and then thrown on the grill to give it those signature grill marks and mouthwatering flavor. These scrumptious chicken wings have become legendary in South Florida, and are single-handedly the reason there are now seven Sports Grill locations scattered around the Sunshine State. The Kendall location is the biggest of them all, and thus, it's without question one of the top chicken wings spots in South Florida. Hours of operation are Sunday thru Thursday from 11 a.m. 'till midnight, and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 - 1 a.m.

Hooters Of Doral
8695 N.W. 13th Terrace
Doral, FL 33126
(305) 593-5088

It all started here — it would be an injustice to discuss the top spots in South Florida to eat chicken wings without paying respect to those who paved the way. Hooters is perhaps the most successful chicken wing franchise to emerge out of the Sunshine State, and thus, it has to be included among the top spots. For years, Hooters Doral (Miami-Dade County) has been considered one of the most successful spots in the entire country, which makes it easy to pick this location as the one to visit. "The Original Hooters Chicken Wing" may be ordered breaded or naked, and in the following counts: 10 wings for $9.99, 20 for $19.29 and 50 wings for $43.99. The sauces of choice at this location go as follows: mild, medium, hot, TMI, 911, Habanero BBQ, KC BBQ, Chipotle honey, honey Thai, Samurai Teriyaki, lemon pepper and spicy garlic. Hours of operation are Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight, Fridays and Saturdays from 11 - 1 a.m. and Hooters of Doral is open on Sundays from noon to 11 p.m.
