    Buffalo 19 in Rathmines has my vote...also enjoyed the Elephant & Castle. I heard the Harbourmaster has good wings (I had a horrible steak in there a few weeks ago though).

    Tried tribeca in ranelagh tonight with the missus. The wings where georgeous. very nice sauce and nice blue cheese. Big portion aswell so dont be fooled by them being down as a starter

    Just back from Buffalo 19 in rathmines. I got the wings. Were quite tasty and I thought the blue cheese dip was nice. There was a decent size portion for 5.45

    OH had the veggie burger which she was pleased with.

    Would definatley go back if I was in the area.

    Just tried out Whoop Ass Chicken Wing Sauce.

    Its hotter than Frank's, I love it.
    Can only get it in Harvey Nicks in Dundrum, or has anyone seen it in town?

    If it's hotter then Franks hot sauce then I say the stuff is possible illegal :eek:
    But if you find anywhere in north Dublin let me know :) would like to try it myself

    I agree - Buffalo 19 is tasty possible the best I've ever tasted. you should try the below recipe, got the exact same recipe a couple of weeks ago on a different thread on here, so I made them a couple of weeks ago and tasted pretty much the same has buffalo 19 :) really good recipe, if done right.

    Only thing missing is a decent blue chesse sauce - i Just legged it across the road to the local chippy and bought some blue cheese sauce there.

    here's the quickest rundown i can give which should give you great results every time.
    • buy wings (usually in 2.99 packs in supermarkets)
    • refrigerate them
    • *cut wings at joints and discard the pointy tip (or save for stock)
    • toss the wings in a mixture of 3/4 plain flour and 1/4 cornflour with a teaspoon of smoked paprika and or a teaspoon of ground white or black (or half and half) pepper. (about half a cup of the mixture per pack of wings)
    • return to the fridge for at least 30 minutes
    • deep fry for 10-15 minutes on high until golden brown
    • melt equal parts of butter and franks 'original' hot sauce (not the buffalo wing sauce if you can avoid it, it's just hot sauce + artificial butter and it's gick). (use about half a cup of each per pack of wings)
    • if you like them vinegary, just toss in the cooked wings once the butter is melted, or alternatively, simmer off some of the vinegar for 5-10 minutes before tossing in the wings.
    • i find it makes tossing the wings easier if you use a wok for melting the butter and franks, it's just easier to toss them around than in a frying pan or whatever.
    • enjoy with the dip of your choice. :)
    *simplest example of hot to cut the wings is imagine you are about to have an arm wrestle and your arm is a chicken wing. you have the bicep bit and the bit between your elbow and your wrist. cut down through the elbow joint vertically and then cut off the wrist part and discard the hand. of course now you're never going to look at a wing the same again. :D

    When making wings at home, add some cayenne pepper and some chilli flakes to the franks hot sauce. So hot, but so tasty. :)

    Make sure to have plenty of blue cheese on the side for dipping.

    Get onto amazon and order the Franks Xtra hot sauce. Four times hotter than original franks.

    Do your wings as normal, put your original franks on, then splash a big gulp of this over them. Dont put the 4x in the pan with butter if thats how you make your sauce as I find this kills the flavour. Just splash it on straight from the bottle

    Twelve euro a bottle, fcuk that! Just add cayenne pepper powder and chilli flakes to the franks regular.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    You get six bottles for that.

    Smyths in Ranelagh do great wings, i think even better than the ones in Tribecca and E&C


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭snickerpuss


    Had some really nice ones in Gilbert and Wrights off the Howth Road. Way nicer than Elephant and Castle in my humble opinion!

    Was in porterhouse north last night. Got the half portion of suicide wings for 5.95. Was really impressed. Quite hot and they also added jalepenos to the mix. Enjoyed them more than Buffalo 19. Quite a large portion for the price.

    Look forward to trying a few other places mentioned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Im probably going to try the Elephant & Castle wings sometime this week but looking at their website the wings are 12.95. I take it this is a fairly big portion. Would it be fit for two people more so. Do they not do smaller portions as the OH is a veggie?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Hootanany


    It's a very large portion for one I could not do a main with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭vibe666


    it depends on what they get in on the night. the last time i went to E&C they were like sparrow wings with hardly any meat on them at all, but other times i've gone before they were really big. i find that in the packs of wings or thighs you get at the supermarket too tho, you just have to look through what they have and pick out the biggest ones.

    Let me know what you think of E&C , have heard so much mixed reviews about their wings, wondering is it worth traveling in to try them out or not ?

    Thanks

    Had the wings in the Harbour Master today. Quite impressed. Nice and spicy. Nice and crispy. Obviously cooked to order, and not sitting in a warming tray waiting for someone to order them. I got the smaller size, but the portion was huge. Great value for money at 7 quid. They had a faint sweet kick to them when first bit into, that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Not what I am used to, but it certainly wasn't off putting as the hotness kicked in very soon after.

    Loved the little water bowl to clean your fingers with, and their bringing extra napkins without you having to ask for them. Liked that the wings were on the smallish size so you can eat them easily without making a holy show of your self. My only quibbles were that the amount of dipping sauce was puny, and it was fairly tasteless. Why oh why is good blue cheese dipping sauce SO hard to come by in this city? Also would have liked some celery sticks. There is nothing like munching into a nice cool stick of celery when your mouth is on fire. Over all 8/10. Would have been a 10/10, but for the crap sauce and no celery.

    Sorry but have to totally disagree with you !
    They are waaaaaay over rated.


    I must of had them on a bad day :/

    I found them really dry (not crispy) , there was barley any sauce on them at all.
    And there was no blue cheese sauce ..... Who serves buffalo wings without blue chessse sauce ??????
    Actually would go as far to say that I wouldn't even call them "buffalo wings"

    You need to try buffalo 19 or Luigi Malones. They do PROPER buffalo wings. They are nice crispy hot wings dripping in sauce with tasty blue cheese dip.

    Also other places mentioned in this thread that iv yet to try ...

    Seriously your missing out if you think harbour master do nice wings :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Porterhouse give you the little bowl with lots of napkins and those wet/fresh wipes. Also give you the celery stick to munch on. Dipping sauce was ok, could of had more flavour. Have to say the porterhouse is probably the best Ive had in a long time. Buffalo 19 comes a close second.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭SunnyDub1


    Blue Bar in skerries - Seriously tasty, great portion of wings, loads of dipping sauce.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Just to update this incase anyone is going on my previous recommendation. I went to the porterhouse on nassau street yesterday and ordered the suicide wings. Major disappointment. The sauce was just like a dolmio tomato pasta sauce with some franks or similar hot sauce thrown in for flavour and a few jalepenos on top. Nowhere near hot enough for suicide. Pretty small portion too compared to porterhouse north. They also had no veggie quesedellas so the GF wasnt impressed. Apparently all porterhouses dont use the same menu.

    Rustic Stone do lovely Wings and Mitchelin star as well. nom nom
    Doesn't have a Michelin star and is nowhere near that standard.

    Also, the time I had the wings in there they were brutal. They were more like bones with a little piece of skin on them, barely any meat.


    The best I've had in Dublin are in the Chatham Brasserie. Huge portion, really spicy and very meaty.

    they're not buffalo wings either going by the menu.
    The city’s favourite, the oul chicken wing. Here I’ve done ‘em in some sticky soya and crushed roasted sesame seeds with fresh grated lime zest, garlic chips, red sprouts and coriander.

    i was about to say that i wouldn't go to any steak restaurant where the biggest steak was 10oz either, that's hardly a starter in my book.

    but then i saw this:
    T-BONE FOR TWO €62 Wonderful cut of meat to be enjoyed by two, simply served with the oul French butter. Twenty-eight ounces of dry aged meat hung for twenty-eight days. Thank you Maurice Kettle.
    "i'll have the t-bone for two please, and a salad for the wife!" :D

    bit pricy though, it would want to be something pretty special.

    Elephant & Castle or Crackbird do amazing wings! Wouldn't go near Harbourmaster, found the staff unbelievably rude!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,569 ✭✭✭✭ProudDUB


    Would agree with you about The Harbour Master staff. Very surly. I didn't go back for months after my first time there. I sat at a table while a waitress cleared off 3 tables beside me, and totally ignored the fact that I was sitting there waiting to be served. I had to go to the bar & ask for a menu & the service wasn't much better there either.

    The star goes to a restaurant. He got it in Mint. Mint closed about 5 years ago.

    Anyone know where to get some good blue cheese dressing/dipping sauce in Dublin? I have been to Dunnes, Marks & Spencer, Tesco & Supervalu but have had no joy finding any. Took some buffalo wings home with me from a restaurant recently, but just couldn't enjoy them without some good old blue cheese dipping sauce and celery. I think that is very odd seeing as wings are such a staple on so many pub/restaurant menus these days. Oh well......


  • Registered Users Posts: 388 ✭✭Twenty10


    You could make some yourself? Its fairly straightforward, I used to use the recipe from The Atkins site.

    This recipe: http://www.atkins.com/Recipes/Buffalo-Chicken-Wings.aspx


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,569 ✭✭✭✭ProudDUB


    Thanks, but I don't eat enough of it to warrant making a batch of it. When I bring some wings home (usually late at night) I want the convenience of having a jar of blue cheese sauce already there. I don't want the hassle of having to go to a shop and buy ingredients to make it.

    I make wings quite a lot and was thinking the same thing, I haven't bothered going out and checking yet but maybe check one of the american shops in town (one that springs to mind for me is Candy Lab in temple bar), as they might have something like this: http://candyland.ie/epages/950000408.sf/en_IE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/950000408/Products/00015 (Candyland is in Galway I believe, if you can't find it anywhere else you could order it from that site! Not sure if that sauce would be in any way nice as well btw, never had it, but I'm considering getting it soon to try.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭vibe666


    you could use this in a pinch.

    http://www.briannassaladdressing.com/flavors/blue-cheese.html

    it's officially a salad dressing, but it does the job on wings too. might not be to everyone's taste, but if you can't be arsed to make your own, it might well fill the void.

    i've see it in both tesco's and superquinn.
