Used to be you ordered wings by how hot you want them. Now they have 36 flavors and with the exception of pineapple thay all sound good.
We had a block party I ran one time. Maybe it will work for you. I signed up for the Eisenhower pavilion so we could play games. I collected money and Publix sold me 100 wings at a great price. I forget what it was. I made biscuits and neighbors brought beans, salad and dessert. I brought a dart board made out of Masonite set up to play baseball. It was a lot of fun and hardly any work or clean up. A lot of people brought home left over wings too. We don't eat like teenagers anymore.

Anyone else remember these monstrosities ?
There was a restaurant in the town I grew up in that cooked their chicken the same way. The first time we tried McCall's really reminded me of the place. I love my yard bird.

Sorry, but my wife and I thought McCall's fried chicken was very salty. Might give one more try.

Another vote for McCall's :)

No need to be sorry, no place suits everyone's taste.

I can't pass up a Popeye's. Happy there's one nearby but not on campus. Too much of a temptation.

True about Popeye's. It would be hard to pass by with the drive up window calling you. The full name is Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen. Had the best fried chicken of my life in New Orleans.

I prefer Popeye's to McCalls.

Will have to try Mccalls but Maryland Fried Chicken on rt 27 in Leesburg is really good. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and not greasy or fatty. Take out 8 piece chicken for $9
