Retired police officer Adam Towers and his wife Danamarie took over this historic bed and breakfast inn on the Farmington River in Barkhamsted in 2020, which is the second-oldest Inn in the entire state. Built in 1796, this place has rustic New England charm as you sit by the giant wood fireplace and enjoy a selection of five or six different wing flavors which are as good as any you'll find on the trail. You will recognize the quality, love the overall wing experience, and fall in love with your surroundings. The Teriyaki wing was one of the best we've ever had! But don't sleep on their classic buffalo wing or the jerk, sweet chili, garlic parm, jalapeno mango or coconut chili wings either!

Owned by longtime local chef, Red Lanphear and his wife Jayne, @the Corner is one of the finest restaurants in all of Litchfield County. Award-winning Executive Chef,  Carlos Perez expanded the wing menu from four flavors to 18 in 2022. All are worthy of your full attention. Like gourmet wing attention.

One of the largest and most-popping breweries in the entire state, Clocktown must be experienced to be believed. Owner George LaCapra and his wife Stacy and co-owner Ed Daigneault spared no expense renovating this old factory building in Thomaston which actually was once the famous Seth Thomas clock  factory for over 100 years. Huge dining area, spacious and all-inclusive bar, craft beers, live entertainment, outdoor seating and the food is to live for! For something different, try the Togarashi Dry Rub wings.

Hands-down the most popular wing spot in the surrounding area, O Joe’s, as it’s affectionately called, is an old-school dive bar in Oakville on the outskirts of Watertown. By far the largest selection on this wing trail (more than 50 flavors on the menu) the wings are consistent and 5-star all the time. You’ll end up staying longer than you planned. This place is a national wing treasure.

If you’ve ever been to Watertown, chances are you’ve driven past this restaurant many times. You’d also seen it with many different signs out front as it’s changed identities many times. In 2021, though, Andrew Kotsaftis renovated and stamped it as a legit wing destination and sports bar. With multiple TV’s you can check out your favorite games while you pick from a solid dozen wing flavors on a solid bar menu. Try out this Creamy Garlic Parm.

THE oldest operating restaurant in the state, formerly called Curtis House, 1754 is anything but a wing joint. In fact, owner and master chef Michael Bates-Walsh might cringe at the thought of being classified that way. This restaurant is one of the most-popular in all of Woodbury with up and downtstairs dining rooms and bars, live music on weekends, outdoor seating and fire pits and is a wedding destination as well. When he opened in 2020, he carried only one wing (Hot N Smoky). Now, they’re up to four flavors with some of the most-unique dipping sauces you could imagine. Try the Litchfield Bourbon BBQ with the whipped bleu cheese mousse.

Hindsight is 20/20 and at the very end of 2020, Jeff Schmidt and Heather Nardi opened up a BBQ joint in the most unlikely of spots in Waterbury. And it took off. You just feel the energy when you drive past the parking lot, then you smell the smokers, then you eat the food. Undeniably one of the best BBQ spots in the state and the pit-smoked wings are as beautiful as they are delicious. Four flavors on the menu with the occasional Jerk Wing special. Ask for that one first!

Built in the summer of 2022, this upscale brewery/restaurant/night spot/sportsbar/family fun spot came onto the scene in Middlebury. They brew their own beer, have 40 TV's, pool tables and arcade game, a lounge area . . . .and wings. Brewbury has a dozen wings on the menu. We really enjoyed the Sweet Thai Chili, Maple Bacon Bourbon, and were really drawn in by Satan's Breath. Yikes!
