As far north as you can get and still be in Chicago - Buffalo Joe's on Howard just west of the CNW tracks.  The other location is in Evanston.

I've got to second that vote. The wings at Buffalo Joes are SO incredible that I think they rank up there with Pizza from Ginos, Italian Beef from Al's, A true chicago Vienna all beef hotdog with the works (celery salt included), and Apple Pancake from Walker Brother's as Foods avaiable in Chicago that should be on any tourist's culinary tour of the city.

As hot as you can handle it, and know that when they say hot they mean hot. I like spicy food and can really only handle their mild, but my friend who pops those Peppers, the ones that are considered the hottest in the world, thinks that Joes suicide is only mildly spicy.

I'm also totally in agreement that Buffalo Joes on Howard Street, off Clark Street have very good wings.
