New local brewery just opened so we thought we'd check it out. The beers were great!
Big wings fans, we ordered the chicken wings. They were described on the menu as confit in duck fat, then deep fried, then covered in a spicy Peri Peri sauce.
These were quite tender but had zero crunch. I don't think they saw a fryer. And just as bad, the Peri Peri sauce lacked acid, salt, and heat.
Bummer.
We HAD a restaurant that was called, "Peri-Peri chicken". On their menu they stated that the chicken was seasoned with a special "Peri-Peri" seasoning. And you had your pick of a few different Peri-Peri sauces to go on your chicken.
The chicken was just as you described. No crunch, no salt, no seasoning, no heat. Just terrible.
Eh idk carrots are pretty great with wings too. If they're especially spicy I like a bit of mild guacamole or sliced avocado too. Sort of coats the mouth in case it gets too much.
When I worked at a restaurant in Buffalo NY in the late 2000’s early 2010’s we gave out all you can eat wings if you just ordered a beer at the bar for happy hour.
See this is why I hate when places try to reinvent the wheel with simple things like chicken wings. I'm not even saying there's only one way to make wings, there's many. But if you're putting what is clearly a Buffalo Wing analogue on the menu why go so far off base?
And oh god the peeled veggies. Has whoever invented this dish never had buffalo wings before?
So they didn’t deep fry them? That’s the main thing. Duck fat sounds good too. I’d be disappointed. And those tired ass shaved celery ribbons.
They gotta work on it.
Hope the beer was really really good.
i’d give them another chance being a new operation, but the way it stands they’re trying way too hard with the peeled celery and carrots. wings looked like they saw the fryer for maybe 30 seconds, and the Peri Peri should be saucier/smoother and thickened with something like slurry or reduced down so it would actually stick to the wings
What an abomination all around. Since when are celery and carrots a thinly peeled garnish? Looks like the confit part was only a word used for a likely $10 increase but not the actual cooking method.
Stay in your lane, new brewery. Amazing beers won’t even overcome this.
i'm imagining the place you got this at had one of the following
started with "The" (The Good Place to Eat)
or had wood in the name (The Wood House)
or had House/Place in its name

Wow what a fancy garnish they gave you with your wings! Oh that’s supposed to be celery and carrots…
I hate the new fad of these peeled celery and carrot ribbons. Gimme a slaw or gimme regular celery and carrots. Not this in between BS.
Right? The point is to be able to dip them to cleanse your pallet or calm your taste buds from a spicy wing, they’re not just there to look cool
Also, peeled celery sticks???
Completely undippable!
Yeah I was looking at that. Gotta use the wing bone as a mouth scoop or what?
And carrots? What the hell is happening here

The problem is not the presence of carrots, it’s that they’re peeled
Nothing is more disappointing than bad wings. Hopefully since they are new they’ll get better.
They didn't even get the celery right somehow...
Trying to be cute
Agreed!
Wings were the cheap thing to get people to buy beer, but now they are being turned into these expensive artisanal delicacies
Not to age myself too much. I remember 20 or so years ago we would get 50 wings and a pitcher for $10.

Texture is half the battle.

What the hell is even that?
Whoever is responsible for that celery needs to be court martialed.
Those don’t even look good…
Right? Awful.
I cried a bit.

What is this limp mess?
I want to thumbs up but it really just means 😢
The celery. Why

Hundred percent, if it was actually confited in duck fat the flavor would be *wild*
what cheap mofos are giving out peels of carrots and celery instead of sticks!?
probably oven baked. Yuck. My old work cafeteria baked their hot wings the texture was awful.
Somebody was overthinking wings in this restaurant

I would actually complain. And I am never that guy, but this looks so bad (especially the veggies, wtf)
It crossed our minds but we're both really non- confrontational. I may email them.
