On a quest for Miami's best chicken wings? Think beyond Buffalo. Though the tangy, vinegary sauce is a classic, some of the city's best wings are tossed with Asian spices, garlic and butter, or sweet and smokey barbecue sauce — or simply left naked.
Luckily for you, we took on the task of sussing out the best wings in Miami. Here's what we found:
800 Degrees Woodfired Kitchen 2956 NE 199th St., Aventura
305-902-4363
The Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem traded basketball for pizza and beer at their Aventura restaurant, 800 Degrees Woodfired Kitchen. Haslem's baked-not-fried "UD's Woodfired Wings" — made with a base of not-too-spicy Calabrian chilies and served with a creamy Gorgonzola dip — are exceptional ($14). Pair a plate with a local brew, such as Funky Buddha's Floridian or Veza Sur's Mango Blonde Ale.
