If you’re looking for some great wings, this is the spot! Be prepared to wait, and seating can be limited, but it’s absolutely worth it. The original wings pack some spice, but the flavor is incredible. My mouth is watering while I write this review. I’m a ranch girl myself, so I haven’t tried their homemade blue cheese, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about it
Chicken Licks has amazing wings and cheese curds.. I love the dry rub on both, and their homemade blue cheese dip. For those who like some heat they have several levels. My husband likes heat and gets 2x sexy.
I ate some of the best wings ever. The service was great too. I will be going back for more.
The food is so delicious. The dry rub wings are some of the best I’ve ever had!
Had been hearing about this place in the Madison foodie group and decided to stop. BEST wings ever! We tried the dry rub with the house made blue cheese. Of course we had to spice it up with some buffalo sauce! 10/10. I’m usually not much of a wing person. We also ordered the onion ring and Cole slaw (not pictured) yummmmmmm.. Drinks were cold, prices were affordable (rare now) and service was great. We will be back soon!
Solid wings place with nicely seasoned fries too. The regular is my favorite followed by buffalo sexy. Cheese curds were good too. Would go again!
I order wings and fried mushrooms here when I get my hot wing craving. It's awful trying to place an order even over the phone but the food is always worth the wait. I'm always missing items when I go, but it's forgivable due to how busy they always are. Tonight I was waiting in line to pick up my food and seen this and was moved even more. Wonderful place.
