 Personally, I like the ones at the Fox Trot Inn on Rt. 19 in the North Hills.

 Very Good.

 I only tasted a few of the garlic-butter wings but they were good, a little
 salty perhaps but to be expected at a bar. However good they were, the price
 was right. From 6PM to midnight on Friday at Anthony's in Uniontown. The price?
 A PENNY PER WING!!!! Maximum order at a time - 24.

 Enjoy!

  The best Hot Wings come from "The Crow Bar", a small bar on 5th Ave.
 in Arnold, PA. They're served with their homemade Bleu Cheese Dressing,
 which happens to also be the best Bleu Cheese Dressing I've tasted.

 I love the wings at Fat Heads, on the South Side. They have about a dozen
 different kinds. All the wings are meaty, and some of the sauces are very
 good. My favorite is their Beasty BBQ, but there are a number of other good
 ones.

There's a bar in Greensburg called Boomer's, on the east side of town. There wings are the only ones I'll eat. They are deep fried, and come with 4 different sauces- even the mild is great! One night is wing night. They also have great sandwiches.
