Best Chicken Wings in South Carolina

The Food Network is one of those sources that, when they say something is good, we listen. They gathered a list of the best chicken wings in America and of course, the Carolinas had to make an appearance. One popular spot for foodies in Charleston, South Carolina made the list and we hear they are some of the BEST you can try!

Next time you’re in Charleston, head to The Grocery and try out their Kung Pao Chicken Wings. The restaurant is putting a bit of an Asian twist on their wings and it seems to be a hit to everyone who tries them. The wings are cured overnight and then get confined in duck fat for a bit of extra flavor. Once fried crispy using their rice flour, expect to enjoy their special housemade sauce to take things over the edge. The wings are a nice combination of spicy, crispy, and sweet all wrapped in one! I know, your mouth is starting to water, isn’t it?
