Best Chicken Wings

Nothing beats a terrific chicken wing. River Inn Bar (10418 County Hwy. X, Chippewa Falls) is known for jumbo, broasted chicken wings – they prepare 400 pounds every week! Complementing their unique menu, Northern Tap House (5020 Keystone Crossing, Eau Claire) has wing specials on Tuesdays and Thursdays to give you more cluck for your buck. The wings at Cowboy Jack’s (1432 Front Porch Place, Altoona) are oven-baked, then fried crisp for you to chomp. — Briana Novacek
