Buffalo Wings in Dublin

smackbunnybaby

I adore the Hot Buffalo Chicken Wings in the Elephant and Castle in the Temple Bar, but it tends to get very busy in there and not always possible to get a table.

I have tried some other places like the Woolshed and Captain Americas, and in fairness I would give them the thumbs up as well.

Where else do good Buffalo Wings of the hot variety in Dublin?

I have heard Luigi Malones does good ones as well.

Where is your favourite place?

Bridge Bar does great ones.

It's a bit far out, down by Grand Canal dock.

Haven't had them but my mates are constantly on about the ones in Tribeca in Ranelagh. Supposed to be funreal.

A bit acidic, but damn good.

They did wings,wedges, a bowl of salad and blue cheese dip for a tenner during the week; some sort of 3 in 1 thing. Think its gone up to about 12 now, but its well recommended.

And people came to the conclusion: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055623175
It's Frank's hot sauce if you wanted to have a go at making them yourself. There's a few recipes on how to make them in that thread, it's pretty much some of the original sauce and some butter in a pan, heat it up and pour over wings. Tried it myself, had deep fried wings with the sauce and am nearlly completely sure it was the same as the wings i had in captain america's. People have also said its what they use in E&C.
Other than that think all the above restaraunts were mentioned in the thread too so that's where you're most likely to find them

Not Dublin City Centre but the Thirsty Bull in Tyrellstown does the best chicken wings ever. They also serve the hottest wings in the country too.

The Porterhouse does nice hot wings too.

The summit up in howth do pretty mean wings, same as e&c, but more and cheaper. Also, I'd highly recommend the scotch bonnet in malahide village (where vinny vanucci's used to be). They're hot wings, but they don't use franks sauce, so it's nice for a bit of variety.

TGIF in Blanch or Stephen Green get the Jack Daniel's Chicken Wings they are super

funk-you

Kafka in Rathmines village do lovely wings. Nice little restraunt too, just across the road from Slattery's. Just down from the Xtra-vision.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys

If you're going on a day trip to Howth any day (lovely in the summer), The Top House/ Krugers do lovely buffalo wings. They're quite tabasco-y but yummy!

Eddie Rockets do nice wings. They would probably spice them up if asked.

IFI used ot do gorgeous chicken wings,just like the E+C ones,but the last time I was in there they were manky! Food in the IFI seems to have taken a nosedive since they done it up.

If you're willing to make the trip out to Harolds Cross, then I highly recommend Buffalo 19.

Best wings I've ever had!

Agreed. Buffalo 19 in general is absolutely delicious. I love the wings. I live just opposite and its always packed.

Pravda do good wings too.

richardjjd

Bit of a trek, but The Thirsty Bull in Tyrrelstown has their own special buffalo wing menu. Their website also has some video of their hottest wings being tried out by the clientele.

CptSternn

TGIFridays does good Buffalo wings too.

Thephantomsmask

Tante Zoe's do very nice wings as well. It's a pretty big starter to share bowl so I usually get it as a main course with a side of corn bread.

breakfast roll

The Thirsty Bull looksssssssssssssss good !! Can't wait to try it out

onlyliveonce

elephant & castle, tribeca and Canal Bank cafe all have the same recipe for there wings!! all absolutely AMAZING! and big enough for two people to share aswell if you get a side of chips!

my favourite is canal bank cafe though! the setting is really nice and is great to go with either a group of friends or just as a couple!

effone

Anvil in Saggart do fantastic buffalo wings. The chilli sauce is a medium on the heat scale - no vinegar! Well worth the trip out of town.

Also OP have a look at this thread.

It's really easy to make E&C-style wings at home and they're delicious. Ridiculously so. Here's my adapted recipe from the above thread:

I just thought I'd add my method - after a few tries, this recipe makes wings as close as I've tasted to E&C's. They're really good.

Chicken Wings, 800g pack
Butter, 3-4 tablespoons
Frank's Red Hot Wings Sauce (Superquinn), 3-4 tablespoons
White Wine Vinegar, 1 tablespoon

Use a 15ml tablespoon measure, if using an actual spoon be generous as most aren't 15ml.

Deep fry the wings (skins on) for 10-12 minutes, depending on size, at 180C in clean oil. In a frying pan, melt the butter completely on a low temp, add the white wine vinegar. This will curdle the butter - it will clump together. This gives the coating a batter-like look and texture. Add the sauce, stir to evenly distribute the butter for a few minutes. Add the wings, and turn each one to coat all sides. Shake the pan gently to coat evenly. Leave them in the pan for a few minutes so the sauce coating dries out a little.

Serve with Crème Fraiche as a cooling dip. Yum.

Independant Pizza in Drumcondra FTW!!

My mouth is watering just thinking about them.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. but I have a chicken wing problem.

I'm on a never ending quest to try the best chicken wing places in Ireland.

Could anyone tell me if that Thirsty bull place in tyrellstown is still open?

Quick google search didn't reveal anything.

Been to Elephant and castle and tribeca both really good wings but lookin to try others

January

It's still open, but under the name Jack O'Neills and I don't think they do the wings any longer either but you could give them a call and ask.

Anyone tried this place yet? I need reports! Love wings, will travel

not any more as as been said, but don't worry, you didn't miss anything. i've had wings there and they were very disappointing. not particularly meaty and just thrown together without cooking out the sauce properly.

https://www.facebook.com/wingit.ie

they used to have a stall at the irish village markets. i tried their (allegedly) huge portion of wings for €12 and they were like sparrow wings with very little meat on them as well as having been cooked and then reheated which made them dry and chewy and were still cold in places in the middle. the sauce wasn't cooked properly either.

the whole thing was such a disappointment that i complained to irish village markets who called me personally to apologise and were exceptionally nice about the whole thing (very good customer service experience, which is rare these days) and they even sent me out vouchers for two free meals. he forwarded on my email to wingit and the guy said that it was 2 new guys on and that he would sort it and give me free wings the following week and would be there himself to apologise in person.

the following week i got a mail on the day of the market saying they had some technical problems but would be back the week after and that's the last i ever saw or heard from them and i don't think they are at any of the irish village markets at all now, so take from that what you will.

my wife always gives out to me because i can't resist ordering wings whenever we are out, but they are always a disappointment compared to what i make at home but i still keep ordering them in vain hope of getting something decent out.

How do you make them at home? I am intrigued! Sick of being let down by poor wings.

I'd be like yourself, I love the feckers and can't resist ordering them, ordered some in a pub in town a few weeks back. Worst I've ever had! :mad:

I like this recipe but i alternate and try out different methods.

They always taste better deep fat fried though

I don't know how hot you like your wings but I like em real hot. Tried most places around town. Best I've had was probably yum on Camden street. Ghost wings. These are VERY hot though. No hot wings I've had come close. Wings cooked to perfection too. Chef makes the sauce fresh according to scale of hotness you've had before.

If you want amazing chickens wings which are extremely similar to elephant and castle, Buy Franks red hot wings from superquinn. Its a chicken wing sauce imported from the US. Its amazing and is only about €3,30 a bottle and does a few sets of wings

http://www.franksredhot.com/

It comes in a 3.78 liter bottle meaning it is probably being used by restaurants

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Franks-RedHot-Original-Cayenne-Pepper/dp/B002L639UY/ref=sr_1_1/275-8507739-3606205?ie=UTF8&qid=1380998440&sr=8-1&keywords=franks+hot+sauce

Probably a really silly question but how hot is Frank's sauce?
Is it REALLY hot or a heat most people can tolerate?
