When I was a kid 35 years ago my mom and I were soooooooo poor, but she'd sometimes buy the very cheap chicken wings and bake them, maybe she finished my broiling them a bit. They were so good. We used one of the three kinds of spices we had in the house - Lawry's, and that's all they needed. We only owned plain salt, seasoned salt, and pepper back then. I was a little girl could that get those wings nibbled clean as a frat boy can, it helps when you're hungry. I wish no one had caught on to how good they are, I miss the prices. Don't let the foodies find out about pork steaks, they'll ruin the price of those, too.
I always use Lawry's on baked whole chicken. I also buy whole pork loins for $1.99/lb when on sale and cut up several packs chops. I usually pound them and coat with breadcrumbs and fry.
I'm SO fkn happy that you're still posting, I used to binge watch the WAWE series while staying up late on school nights. I really hope you and the family are doing well, you deserve chill times.
When I worked at pizza hut like 6 years ago, pretty much the only time people ordered a lot of wings were on football nights and wednesdays, because wings were cheaper on wednesdays for whatever reason. They'd have to be some damn good wings at $2 each.
I love getting the Parmesan garlic wings from Little Caesars with a pizza. Yeah, they’re on the smaller side and I like the skin even if it’s not crispy. They also give you plenty of sauce to dip your crusts.
Ugh bro how do you like Lil Ceasars? WORST pizza out of any chain out there. It's so disgusting that I can't even eat it while being drunk. It's like super weird mushy microwaved dough with a funky tasting cheese. Barely any cheese. It's like 95% dough. I've tried it several times to see if I was being dramatic but nope. I dunno how people eat them lol their wings are OK though I'll give you that.
@@markfleser Well it's going to be the same ingredients and ways of cooking across the board because it's a chain. It's how they're supposed to operate. I tried different locations still can't do it. I find them awful. But hey everyone has their preferences. I actually like Papa Johns and I know a LOT of people hate them with a passion. We're all different lol
@@wombat5252 well the ingredients and processes may be the same on paper, but in practice some locations do things better. I’ve been to chain restaurants where I will never go back to a particular location, but frequent the same restaurant in a different town.
I was a manager at a Domino's a long time ago 20 years or so in Hawaii. All of the ingredients except for the vegetables and dough were from Canada oddly enough . The size of the wings were never really consistent sometimes they were small sometimes they were big and we didn't have 8 peice only 10 and 20 peices. They were also pretty good and tender but i could be baised i also cooked them differently than what we gave customers.
They are so easy to make at home. Either the McCormick’s bag and seasoning mix, or deep fry and toss in Frank’s. Of course, you have to have the blue cheese dressing or dip on the side, and celery sticks.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED your comment about Domino's chicken wings, Larry! I always thought that they butchered Cornish Game Hens for their wings. If I want wings, I order them from an independent pizza place.
I used to work at papa johns, and we actually got a 50% employee discount for buying anything there, including wings. And while they weren't deep fried, they were pretty good wings especially the garlic parm ones.
I was an assistant manager for Papa John's, ending up working for the company for 10 years, before I quit. When it comes to the wings over the years, the prices dramatically shot up. Where I was at, it used to be 8 wings for $8, then went to $8.50, 9 etc. Weird to see 8 for $11.59. I wouldn't buy them for that price, but that employee discount is a different story. The quality for awhile was a bit shotty. I think we used to have at least 2 suppliers for the wings. Sometimes they'd be MASSIVE wings, other times they'd be ˢᵐᵃˡˡ. I think the consistency got better before I left.
@@bigdumbjosh Well when it came to the food, if a customer ordered something and it was made wrong or we couldn't find their address: then you could either eat the food or throw it out. Although we did have a couple people who took advantage of this a bit TOO much, so the manager was careful with them. lol
I hear you. I am not saying it's right or wrong. However, I have worked there for many years, so I rarely eat anything there. You just get tired of it eventually.
Wow, I've been trying to determine this so glad to see it. When I have coupons to pick up from these places, I like wings because they come to around $6-8 without having to tip for delivery or table service. I liked them best at Little Caesar's because they used to be in the Hot n Ready section or able to be comboed for a quick lunch with a personal pie for about $10 combined.
The really small wings are because they're frozen. They lose a lot of their size, and it makes them rubbery. I know it's personal opinion, but I find Pizza Hut wings are definitely the best for a "chain" restaurant. They told me that they make their own sauces, which is why their versions of buffalo (they have at least 3) don't look like the buttery ones you normally see. I have an added bonus that my local Pizza Hut does a "wings Wednesday" where they are 75 cents per wing all day. I get them for lunch every Wednesday at the office...it's a cheap lunch, and I'm full for the rest of the afternoon for about 10 bucks.
Yup i used to work at Domino's and the wings are definitely better ran twice and sauced half way though the second time or even at the start of the second time.
I remember back in the eighties that you could buy bags of wings for pennies on the dollar. Then Buffalo's had to come around and ruin it. Then again, Hooters came out of that as well. Even the early nineties, I could buy ten wings and a sweet-tea for $2 total at 'dime time'.
My first job was was little Caesars and yes the wings are always soggy and a bit gristly. But I'd usually sauce them in a mixture of the buffalo and BBQ sauce and throw them through the oven twice, making the sauce glazed and crispy... That's when they were so good!
Also I couldn't help to feel a slight guilt and embarrassment every time someone would ask for wings... Especially when they'd sit in the warming oven ... I knew they weren't good but I didn't wanna get in trouble for saying how bad they were
Former Domino's employee here - wanted to mention a few things. Wings gone through the oven once (like normal) are terrible. They are significantly better either well done (1.5x oven) or twice baked. Makes the chicken much more firm and loses that rubbery taste/texture. They also have hardly any profit margins on them believe it or not, kind of a lose lose for both parties haha.
I think the super jumbo wings many Americans prefer are the ones from chickens that have been pumped with a lot of hormones in life, some of which are probably banned in the UK. Just my theory. I try to avoid eating wings often even though it's one of my favorite foods (why must everything delicious be unhealthy 😢) and definitely try to avoid the unnaturally huge ones. The ones from chain restaurants though are just too tiny in size and quantity for the price
@@Jaheartsjonas I think you’re correct. That’s what my mom always preached to me. I feel like I’m one of the few Americans who prefer small wings. I don’t even mind the cost of them. The huge ones gross me out.
@@Jaheartsjonas even without the hormones certain breeds of chicken in the USA grow so fat their legs break. The hormones are pumped into them to make them get that huge faster. Animal cruelty sure, but they are literally grown only to be eaten after all.
@@Lia-ow9uy I concur as well. I believe the big wings are juiced up and in my book, considered unhealthy for consumption. I'm not afraid of small wings. Those are free range, healthy chickens. It might be our opinion but I stand by it.
Definitely prefer smaller wings over big ones. When they get too large they skeeve me out a little bit. When they're like ostrich wings. Only time I like a big drumstick is when it's both turkey and fresh out the smoker at a country fair.
I always end up back at your channel and am never disappointed. As a huge fan of the chicken wing and having enough dive bars with great wings around here, I don’t think I need any of these pizza place wings so thank you for trying them for us, lol. Keep up the great videos as always!
I make my own hot wings. Believe me when I say I don’t know how the pizza places make much profit. I have paid $3 a pound for a package of wings. I will not buy the big package of wings because they are small, but still expensive. I am sure the pizza places buy large packages of wings from food companies which change a lot for them no matter the size. I would love to see a video on the cost of 8 homemade hot wings and the price of a good homemade pizza. I do both of these all the time ❤ Thanks for the great videos
Restaurant supply for jumbo, top-end wings is around a dollar per pound. In small quantities, the kind anyone can just walk in and buy. (Usually starting at about 40lbs.) When you start ordering them by the metric ton to supply a franchise, that gets cut in half.
I remember when chicken wings were a whole wing, and you could buy a 5# bag for a couple of dollars because nobody wanted them. Then someone figured out how to make them popular, and now they are as expensive as a steak dinner.
I used to work at dominos when I was in school. The secret back then was to ask them to run the wings through the oven twice. They've maybe changed their recipe since then tho. Also, wings were the lowest profit margin of anything on the menu, by a lot. Back then wings were maybe 5 or 6 bucks and I think they were 4 bucks for the store to keep them in stock.
Restaurant wing prices are ridiculous. And you aren't getting eight wings; you're getting four wings cut in half. It's like saying you got eight pizzas when you order a large. One wing costs more than a POUND of fresh chicken wings, even at awful grocery store prices. (I bought my last freezer full of them for 75 cents a pound, in the middle of the "wing crysis" direct from a local restaurant supply house.) Invest in an air fryer and cook your own wings.
Growing up in the late 90's there was this bar that had .25cent wing's on Tuesday and Thursday! You could get 20 Wing's for $5!! I would leave a trail of chicken bones from the bar to my house like breadcrumbs!! They are now .75cents each and they cost more to go... So sad 😢 They were for Gordon Foods or Sisco? I was a member of the Local Licensed Beverage Association...
All the scooter jokes were so funny (I also laughed at hard bone) but I really cracked up at "since I found my car, I dont say dude as much anymore" I love hearing you in such a good mood! I always hope you're doing well
Your forgetting one fact about the "WINGS" A six piece order is actually 3 wings that have been cut, so they are way over priced. A drummie and a flap are only one wing.
Very nice. Thank you. (I've been following for quite a few years... 1 hr has passed and there's 3.5K views - 644 likes? Dang, you're a celebrity...(but you already knew that...))
I remember back when I was working a factory job and the closest place to get food was a Pizza Hut - I fell in love with their wings there. They were cheap, well enough done (they never had a crunch factor but it was like 6+ years ago), but at least the sauce was always great. So nice to see they improved instead of just pulled any other corporate bullshit and said "ah we made enough time to cut back".
Agreed the deepfryer makes all the difference for the sides.. Also, you ended up with MILD buffalo, taste nothing like the traditional MED Buffalo. Got many complaints with wings because they had mild. Good sauce, its just not the buttery buffalo sauce you would be expecting.
Great video! But I noticed one thing that was really bad. You said the little Caesar’s wings were about a dollar a piece. The total price was $7.99 for 8 wings, so it’s actually less than $1 per wing. Great video, but I think you should be more clear when discussing the prices of the products you review. Cheers, Scooter
In my home town, there have been two Dominos stores that opened and closed within months of each other. The Little Caeser's is long gone, and Pizza Hut withdrew from all of their dine-in restaurants in the great Buffalo-Niagara NY region. There are some Dominatrxs and Poopie Johns here, but only in the city near hotels for out-of-towners generally...
I grew up in Montreal, Quebec and there were metric shite tonnes of absolutely awesome pizza places! I'm talking hundreds of brilliant pizza joints all over the city, from mom and pop holes in the wall... like 4 tables in the dining room... to higher end restaurants. Ran the gamut. Wolfe Pit is spot on... Pizza Hut, Dominoes, et al. are a pizza abomination! If any of y'all ever visit Montreal (and I highly recommend a visit) just ask a local in pretty much every neighbourhood of the city for the tastiest local pizza. I can guarantee that, wherever you are in that fine city, a great pizza is less than 5 klicks from where you're standing. Oh... and don't leave before you sample our smoked meat, our poutine and our beautiful fresh baked bagels! That does it! I'm going to have to drive on over and pig out! It's only a few hours down the road.
Pizza Hut jockey here. The price is a variance thing. It's 9.99 here which is still kinda silly but I like to think we have some of the bigger bone in wings for fast food chicken. They're about 350 for 7 minutes but yeah the frying makes a huge difference. I recommend the sweet chili sauce with blue cheese. Our buffalo is pretty different too. It's more of a paprika base than a tobasco so you don't get the vinegar-ey flavor.
If you want good wings, buy some wings from the grocery store and cook them in an air fryer. I'm not kidding, just cook them and use your favorite sauce. It's not rocket surgery.
oh no you're absolutely correct. having had chicago and new york pizzas in both of their respective cities, eating chain pizza causes great depression and despair and makes me reconsider my life choices.
I'm thankful one of the local butchers gets on whole wings for 47¢ a lb every other month so i stock up. I absolutely love cooking them to atound 100°f in the smoker with a little salt/ pepper/ garlic, then deep frying the rest if the way to get that crispy skin. Sauce is easy, either half Frank's Red Hot and butter (50/50 mix) or garlic butter and shredded parmesan.
I love that Pizza Hut actually fries their wings, but unfortunately their pizza (in my opinion) and service is the worst out of all of the national pizza chains you reviewed. The last two times I ordered wings, from different locations, it basically looked like the container exploded in transit and neither restaurant would rectify the issue even after sending them pictures.
Bone in and bout out take 6-8min in a fryer then thrown into a flimsy bowl with sauce and tossed in the same bowl.. great concept but the sauce goes everywhere and the wings heat it the bowl so fast doesn't want stay closed tight. The bigger and heavery the bowls,the flimsy -er they got.
@@BluRibbonReviews 6-8 minutes for the second fry, maybe. Those are going to be awful if they're not boiled or fried ahead of time before you finish-fry them.
@Chairman Maoio so at Pizza Hut everything basically comes in Frozen except for some of the fresh veggies the bone-in wings are fully cooked chicken that we bagged up when they're frozen they come down to Refrigeration in the walk-in and then are fried for about 7 minutes to get a nice crispy wing. The boneless wings are technically raw chicken and have to be fully cooked from Frozen they take around 7 in the fryer, and if they're nice and uniform, they normally cook up beautiful.
Unless they have changed, Pizza Hut uses Wing Street brand wings & sauces. Ive worked for all of those places except Little Caesars. Pizza Hut has always had the best wings of that group. Not sure where you are buying them from but in South Carolina the wings are like $8 an order.
Do a comparison of bdubs, wings etc, and other wing chains that's available to you I'd love to see it. and then also make your own from home scratch to compare. It would be a great video mr. Wolfe.
In Canada I can get a box of 18 frozen chicken wings for $12.99 and put them in the air fryer myself. They are better than the chains, even though they are processed just as much. Not the same as getting fresh wings and seasoning them yourself, but hey why would buy from the chains. So anyone in Ontario, go to food basics grocery store and the selection brand are good value. You can get them in BBQ, honey garlic or crunchy breading.
There’s a local grocery store here that sells a 10 pound bag of wings for $10 lol. Pizza Hut uses frozen dough. Dominoes doesn’t. Neither does little Caesar’s. So dominoes is a fresher product for half the price.
I can get wings that are labeled as miscuts for $.89 per pound at my local meat market. Sometimes you have to remove a few feathers but for that price it's worth it.
My only comment on pizza chain pizza is after being a truck driver and trying the grease slices that are sold at truckstops....chain pizza is pretty good when i dont make it myself in our little brick oven.
A WING IS CUT INTO PIECES (1DRUM, 1CENTER, (1END TIP THROW AWAY OR SOUP)). THEY SELL THEM BY THE PIECE BUT CALL IT A WING. EVERY TWO PIECES IS REALLY 1 WING. FALSE ADVERTISMENT. COMPANIES SHOULD SAY 8 CHICKEN WING PIECES, NOT WINGS. 1$ PER PIECE IS 2$ PER WING IN REALITY. 8 PIECE WING DINNER IS ONLY 4 WHOLE WINGS. CHA CHING!
Pizza chain chicken wings are way too expensive. We ordered Pizza Hut last night (tried the new Melts, which were pretty damn good) and I wanted chicken wings, but said "nope" when I saw they were charging $10.99 for 6. That's just plain ridiculous. We have a hole-in-the-wall pizza place right down the road from us called Possum Holler. For $11.00 you get 12 wings and these things are HUGE. Every time we order them, we're like "Yeah, these chickens were definitely on steroids." LOL. But they are amazing.
Since I've been buying Domino's chicken wings, I've figured out what they do with the wings from Cornish Game Hens. I liked the chicken wings from Pizza Hut too, but sadly they closed their local store about 5 years ago.
I do order wings from Dominos a lot b/c Pizza Hut won’t deliver to meet and I’m not meeting them half way. Soooo the only time I eat wings from Pizza Hut is when I am actually in town doing stuff
The wings we sell where I work might be among the reigning champs of overpriced. They're decently sized compared to pizza chain wings, but you only get SIX with the meal, which is gonna run you $17 and some change. It does come with fries or tots, but you can only get one sauce type per order, and you can't specify if you want all flats or drums. You also only get one ranch cup. They made us start charging for extra lmao. It sucks.

@@Lia-ow9uy I concur as well. I believe the big wings are juiced up and in my book, considered unhealthy for consumption. I'm not afraid of small wings. Those are free range, healthy chickens. It might be our opinion but I stand by it.
This man singlehandedly put a company out of business. What a legend❤
Which company?

Definitely prefer smaller wings over big ones. When they get too large they skeeve me out a little bit. When they're like ostrich wings. Only time I like a big drumstick is when it's both turkey and fresh out the smoker at a country fair.
I bought chicken wings from a more local place in my town and they were perfect! Very flavorful and you’ll actually feel satisfied at the end.
I always end up back at your channel and am never disappointed. As a huge fan of the chicken wing and having enough dive bars with great wings around here, I don’t think I need any of these pizza place wings so thank you for trying them for us, lol. Keep up the great videos as always!
I make my own hot wings. Believe me when I say I don’t know how the pizza places make much profit. I have paid $3 a pound for a package of wings. I will not buy the big package of wings because they are small, but still expensive. I am sure the pizza places buy large packages of wings from food companies which change a lot for them no matter the size. I would love to see a video on the cost of 8 homemade hot wings and the price of a good homemade pizza. I do both of these all the time ❤ Thanks for the great videos
They make profits because they buy in bulk, so where you might pay $3 for a pound, they're paying that for a whole ton, literally.
Restaurant supply for jumbo, top-end wings is around a dollar per pound. In small quantities, the kind anyone can just walk in and buy. (Usually starting at about 40lbs.) When you start ordering them by the metric ton to supply a franchise, that gets cut in half.
Restaurant supply store nearby sells jukbo wings for around $1.30-1.40/lb for a 40 lb box now. Was almost double during the crazy pandemic panic.
I remember when chicken wings were a whole wing, and you could buy a 5# bag for a couple of dollars because nobody wanted them. Then someone figured out how to make them popular, and now they are as expensive as a steak dinner.
I cant even get most of these foods in South Australia. Theres just something almost addictive about watching this.
I used to work at dominos when I was in school. The secret back then was to ask them to run the wings through the oven twice. They've maybe changed their recipe since then tho. Also, wings were the lowest profit margin of anything on the menu, by a lot. Back then wings were maybe 5 or 6 bucks and I think they were 4 bucks for the store to keep them in stock.
Great vid as usual. Manicure on point as per usual
Restaurant wing prices are ridiculous. And you aren't getting eight wings; you're getting four wings cut in half. It's like saying you got eight pizzas when you order a large.
One wing costs more than a POUND of fresh chicken wings, even at awful grocery store prices. (I bought my last freezer full of them for 75 cents a pound, in the middle of the "wing crysis" direct from a local restaurant supply house.) Invest in an air fryer and cook your own wings.
I LOVE Pizza Hut wings. They are cooked perfectly.
Growing up in the late 90's there was this bar that had .25cent wing's on Tuesday and Thursday! You could get 20 Wing's for $5!! I would leave a trail of chicken bones from the bar to my house like breadcrumbs!! They are now .75cents each and they cost more to go... So sad 😢 They were for Gordon Foods or Sisco? I was a member of the Local Licensed Beverage Association...
Keep em coming Larry. Your take on things is right on. Now I want some wings
Wing street from Pizza Hut is the best
Now I want to try them! Thank you for this video! You had me 😂😂😂 like crazy 😀
All the scooter jokes were so funny (I also laughed at hard bone) but I really cracked up at "since I found my car, I dont say dude as much anymore"
I love hearing you in such a good mood! I always hope you're doing well
I like domino's wings. Then again I am chemically addicted to wings.
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Your forgetting one fact about the "WINGS" A six piece order is actually 3 wings that have been cut, so they are way over priced. A drummie and a flap are only one wing.
LETS GO!!! PIZZA episode!??I used to work at Little Ceasars a few years back.
Very nice. Thank you. (I've been following for quite a few years... 1 hr has passed and there's 3.5K views - 644 likes? Dang, you're a celebrity...(but you already knew that...))
I remember back when I was working a factory job and the closest place to get food was a Pizza Hut - I fell in love with their wings there. They were cheap, well enough done (they never had a crunch factor but it was like 6+ years ago), but at least the sauce was always great. So nice to see they improved instead of just pulled any other corporate bullshit and said "ah we made enough time to cut back".
Excellent video more like this please Lary
Agreed the deepfryer makes all the difference for the sides..
Also, you ended up with MILD buffalo, taste nothing like the traditional MED Buffalo.
Got many complaints with wings because they had mild. Good sauce, its just not the buttery buffalo sauce you would be expecting.
Great video! But I noticed one thing that was really bad. You said the little Caesar’s wings were about a dollar a piece. The total price was $7.99 for 8 wings, so it’s actually less than $1 per wing. Great video, but I think you should be more clear when discussing the prices of the products you review.
Cheers,
Scooter
In my home town, there have been two Dominos stores that opened and closed within months of each other. The Little Caeser's is long gone, and Pizza Hut withdrew from all of their dine-in restaurants in the great Buffalo-Niagara NY region. There are some Dominatrxs and Poopie Johns here, but only in the city near hotels for out-of-towners generally...
Love the music as always
I grew up in Montreal, Quebec and there were metric shite tonnes of absolutely awesome pizza places! I'm talking hundreds of brilliant pizza joints all over the city, from mom and pop holes in the wall... like 4 tables in the dining room... to higher end restaurants. Ran the gamut. Wolfe Pit is spot on... Pizza Hut, Dominoes, et al. are a pizza abomination! If any of y'all ever visit Montreal (and I highly recommend a visit) just ask a local in pretty much every neighbourhood of the city for the tastiest local pizza. I can guarantee that, wherever you are in that fine city, a great pizza is less than 5 klicks from where you're standing.
Oh... and don't leave before you sample our smoked meat, our poutine and our beautiful fresh baked bagels!
That does it! I'm going to have to drive on over and pig out! It's only a few hours down the road.
Pizza Hut jockey here. The price is a variance thing. It's 9.99 here which is still kinda silly but I like to think we have some of the bigger bone in wings for fast food chicken. They're about 350 for 7 minutes but yeah the frying makes a huge difference. I recommend the sweet chili sauce with blue cheese. Our buffalo is pretty different too. It's more of a paprika base than a tobasco so you don't get the vinegar-ey flavor.
If you want good wings, buy some wings from the grocery store and cook them in an air fryer. I'm not kidding, just cook them and use your favorite sauce. It's not rocket surgery.
My local dominos has been a champion for me in the last year.
oh no you're absolutely correct. having had chicago and new york pizzas in both of their respective cities, eating chain pizza causes great depression and despair and makes me reconsider my life choices.
This is a pretty cool idea for a video 👌👌
I'm thankful one of the local butchers gets on whole wings for 47¢ a lb every other month so i stock up.
I absolutely love cooking them to atound 100°f in the smoker with a little salt/ pepper/ garlic, then deep frying the rest if the way to get that crispy skin.
Sauce is easy, either half Frank's Red Hot and butter (50/50 mix) or garlic butter and shredded parmesan.
I love that Pizza Hut actually fries their wings, but unfortunately their pizza (in my opinion) and service is the worst out of all of the national pizza chains you reviewed. The last two times I ordered wings, from different locations, it basically looked like the container exploded in transit and neither restaurant would rectify the issue even after sending them pictures.
Bone in and bout out take 6-8min in a fryer then thrown into a flimsy bowl with sauce and tossed in the same bowl.. great concept but the sauce goes everywhere and the wings heat it the bowl so fast doesn't want stay closed tight. The bigger and heavery the bowls,the flimsy -er they got.
nobody cares
@@BluRibbonReviews 6-8 minutes for the second fry, maybe. Those are going to be awful if they're not boiled or fried ahead of time before you finish-fry them.
@Chairman Maoio so at Pizza Hut everything basically comes in Frozen except for some of the fresh veggies the bone-in wings are fully cooked chicken that we bagged up when they're frozen they come down to Refrigeration in the walk-in and then are fried for about 7 minutes to get a nice crispy wing. The boneless wings are technically raw chicken and have to be fully cooked from Frozen they take around 7 in the fryer, and if they're nice and uniform, they normally cook up beautiful.
You could buy TWO whole roasted chickens at Costco and have 4 wings and a whole lot of leftover chicken for more meals.
You are absolutely right. I prefer a local pizza joint a more than any national chain.
Holy shyt that’s expensive!
Hey, Larry, if you haven't done so already, you should create a "shut up Scooter" T-shirt 😂
Next time you order wings from Domino's call them and ask them to double the cook time on their wings!
You're welcome 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
So the best place to always get wings in St. Louis is from a St. Louis style pizza place. It never ceases to amaze me.
You just saved a lot of us a whole bunch of time and money. Thank you sir. o7
7:39 I think here in Mexico the Wings come coated with buffalo sauce, but any other dipping sauce you have to pay for
Unless they have changed, Pizza Hut uses Wing Street brand wings & sauces. Ive worked for all of those places except Little Caesars. Pizza Hut has always had the best wings of that group. Not sure where you are buying them from but in South Carolina the wings are like $8 an order.
Do a comparison of bdubs, wings etc, and other wing chains that's available to you I'd love to see it. and then also make your own from home scratch to compare. It would be a great video mr. Wolfe.
Chicken seems to be getting a lot more expensive lately.
In Canada I can get a box of 18 frozen chicken wings for $12.99 and put them in the air fryer myself. They are better than the chains, even though they are processed just as much. Not the same as getting fresh wings and seasoning them yourself, but hey why would buy from the chains. So anyone in Ontario, go to food basics grocery store and the selection brand are good value. You can get them in BBQ, honey garlic or crunchy breading.
Sooooo happy you agree with me. Pizza 🍕 Hut rules on bread sticks and pizza sauce as well.
All sides Including wings are 6.99 here at dominos as long as you also order something else - 7 bucks is alot easier to justify than 11 bucks.
There’s a local grocery store here that sells a 10 pound bag of wings for $10 lol. Pizza Hut uses frozen dough. Dominoes doesn’t. Neither does little Caesar’s. So dominoes is a fresher product for half the price.
Certified Gold!!!!!
20 yrs ago we tyson as a supplier for domino's , we also had "Wild Wing Wednesday" where 10 wings were $1.99
I always get a bag of raw wings for 7-8 bux and air fry them 6 -7 at a time. These wings at the pizza places are just too much to pay for. Great vid!
Great video 😂 l make mine homemade ❤❤I love chicken wings 😊❤😊
I can get wings that are labeled as miscuts for $.89 per pound at my local meat market. Sometimes you have to remove a few feathers but for that price it's worth it.
Now I’m starvin for Pizza Hut wings
The 4 horsemen of pizzeria restaurants
Pizza Hut's wing look delicious and larger. Will be ordering me some tonight. Thanks Larry for the comparison
gotta love Scooter!😂😂😂
Bless you, thank you
Great video
I agree with the statement on Caesars pizza. I'm a big fan of muenster cheese, and I think they use that as well as mozzarella on the pizzas.
I've got my eye on a deep fryer. I went to three different stores and nobody had one.
Looks like I'll be ordering it online.
My only comment on pizza chain pizza is after being a truck driver and trying the grease slices that are sold at truckstops....chain pizza is pretty good when i dont make it myself in our little brick oven.
Really on one with Scooter today 😂
A WING IS CUT INTO PIECES (1DRUM, 1CENTER, (1END TIP THROW AWAY OR SOUP)). THEY SELL THEM BY THE PIECE BUT CALL IT A WING. EVERY TWO PIECES IS REALLY 1 WING. FALSE ADVERTISMENT. COMPANIES SHOULD SAY 8 CHICKEN WING PIECES, NOT WINGS. 1$ PER PIECE IS 2$ PER WING IN REALITY. 8 PIECE WING DINNER IS ONLY 4 WHOLE WINGS. CHA CHING!
Pizza chain chicken wings are way too expensive. We ordered Pizza Hut last night (tried the new Melts, which were pretty damn good) and I wanted chicken wings, but said "nope" when I saw they were charging $10.99 for 6. That's just plain ridiculous. We have a hole-in-the-wall pizza place right down the road from us called Possum Holler. For $11.00 you get 12 wings and these things are HUGE. Every time we order them, we're like "Yeah, these chickens were definitely on steroids." LOL. But they are amazing.
You are on the south side of Columbus too??
@@hammbone31 Yes I am 😉
Great movie reference!
Thank you. I tell everyone that papahut is not pizza. But I love the hut wings. God Bless and stay safe.
Good to see a video 🎉
I also like Little Caesar's pizza...
I agree 100%. Calling those chain's food "pizza" is insulting to real pizza.
While i haven’t tried any of these wings actually, the one i have tried from a pizza place is Gioninios and those were pretty fire
We have a pizza place called Fat Boy's Pizza and their wings are pretty good. They cook theirs in a pressure deep fryer.
Some of those prices are also misleading, as many of these places charge an additional delivery fee.
Since I've been buying Domino's chicken wings, I've figured out what they do with the wings from Cornish Game Hens. I liked the chicken wings from Pizza Hut too, but sadly they closed their local store about 5 years ago.
I do order wings from Dominos a lot b/c Pizza Hut won’t deliver to meet and I’m not meeting them half way. Soooo the only time I eat wings from Pizza Hut is when I am actually in town doing stuff
I didn't realize you were back active with videos Wolfe. I gotta catch up
WOO HOO! Big laffs every time I watch. 😆
Spot on
You gotta try Publix cooked wings ..very amazing
The wings we sell where I work might be among the reigning champs of overpriced. They're decently sized compared to pizza chain wings, but you only get SIX with the meal, which is gonna run you $17 and some change. It does come with fries or tots, but you can only get one sauce type per order, and you can't specify if you want all flats or drums. You also only get one ranch cup. They made us start charging for extra lmao. It sucks.
