As much as I love indulging in a piece of juicy steak or salmon, chicken wings will always be my go-to when seeking comfort food or a late-night snack. With an endless list of choices out there, here are 10 of our top pecks, uh, picks to spice up your love for wings in a. Whole. ‘Nuther. Level.
Chilli crab is shiok, and chilli crab sauce on chicken wings is SUPER SHIOK. Two Wings has long been known for their crispy chicken wings, and the spicy-sweet gravy drizzled on Chilli Crab Wings ($8.90 for 6 pieces) make things even better. If you’re not a fan of chilli crab, even though you really should be, go for the equally yummy salted egg yolk version here.

Chick And Ken is no meek Barbie And Ken doll party. The number of Korean fried chicken flavours on their menu is hardcore, and range from typical ones like soy & garlic to brown sugar & lime. Our pick, however, is Yangnyeom Korean Fried Chicken ($19.90 for 10 pieces with 2 flavours and $34.90 for 20 pieces with 4 flavours). Expect sweet and spicy gochujang (fermented chilli paste) on juicy fried chicken wings and crushed peanuts littered all over it for extra texture.

Update: Handlebar at Jalan Mempurong has since closed down.
Note: NOT ACTUALLY COCAINE. But these Cocaine Wings ($14) at Handlebar are aptly named, with three levels of spiciness you can choose from to kick start your addiction to these BBQ wings. This biker’s bar’s addictive hot wings range from low, medium, high to a very special Sudden Death ($16). And I mean, one bite and the waterworks start pouring kind of death.

Just when you feel the market is oversaturated with everything salted egg yolk, take a bite of these Salted Egg Yolk Wings ($9+ for 3 pieces) at The Beer Market and you will soon realise why we’ll struggle without this addictive trend. These wings are the ultimate pub grub slathered with the familiar sweet and salty sauce that’d go great with big gulps of cold draft beers.

Most restaurants stick to safe options for their wings, but not The Pipe District. Before Marmite-haters scroll on, know that the saltiness of Marmite in these Marmite Honey Wings ($10 for 6 pieces) isn’t as pungent as you’d think. The magic is in the batter, and these babies are coated with sweet and tangy skin over tender wings. This tin of 6 also comes with crispy wanton skin and specks of scallion on top – perfect for those feeling extra peckish.

Some like it sweet, others like it smokey. Have the best of both worlds and you’ll find yourself sitting at Lola’s Cafe ordering Honey Paprika Wings ($10 for 8 pieces). Perfectly fried without being overly oily, these bites are pieces of succulent flesh wrapped within crusty skins coated in honey, spice and everything nice. Non-spicy and perfect for all ages, these hero wings are the reason why loyal customers keep coming back to Lola’s for more.

Red Eye Smokehouse’s Sriracha Smoked Wings ($8 for 6 pieces) definitely lives up to its name with its racy hot sauce. They are first smoked, then deep-fried before being tossed into a sticky, aromatic sriracha sauce soaked up by the crust. Sweet and spicy, these wings burst with a flavour so intense, it’s no wonder it’s an all-time favourite for all the best reasons.
