#icandoanother12 chicken wing review
Our love for those yard birds, errrrr meatchickens, errrrr chicken wings started back in the 90’s down on High Street at The Ohio State University, and East Exchange Street at the The University of Akron. BW3’s had their .10 cent wing night, and we never missed it. As a way to support small businesses we are having fun ordering chicken wings from any local restaurant, bar, and brewery. The term “I can do another 12” was a happy accident after complimenting a restaurant about the quality of their food. So now, we turned it into a contest or a “quest” to see who has the best chicken wings. Cheers!!

π¨#icandoanother12 review!π₯π over at the @craft_social_bar -They had some tasty little yardbirds for sure, prepare to get saucey because ours were slathered up. We scored it at a solid 8.4.

π¨ #icandoanother12 review... The family was getting a @dominos pizza so we added a #hotwings order to see how theyβre doing. Realizing these are fast food #chickenwings I went with the Sweet Mango Habanero Sauce and itβs what saved it. Wings were mushy, maybe next time Iβll finish them off on my grill π. Overall 5.5... Sauce was tasty!ππ₯π»

We are on a roll... Another #icandoanother12 wing review. We visited @meltbargrilled in Montrose and had some tasty #buffalohotwings - π₯π First the sauce was delicious and these probably would hit the 9`s if the kitchen/service was quicker. Although there were some high maintenance customer tables around us π Anyways enjoyed the wings with a @rhinegeist #truthipa π»π» We will be back for another 12! #pintsforksfriends
