Wingman by Blue 42 — Restaurant in Lincoln Park

Let me start by saying these wings were not my style or my buddies. But I could definitely see how people would love them.

So we happened to be in the area and googled for food, decided on this place. The owner happened to be in the store which I did not know he was till we were already in conversation . Super cool and friendly guy. The place is super clean and staff was super friendly.

The wings were what I'd call jumbo, first thing not my style. Asked for well don't/ extra crispy. Although they were cooked , was not to my liking of crispy. But thats an easy mistake. The flavor of the wings I dont remeber but was recommended by the owner when I said I like hot. They definitely were not hot, if I had to say it was like a mild at BWW. The flavor was ok but again not my style. Lastly the wings to me had a smokey flavor also and I do not like smoked stuff.

So basically id definitely reccomened this place and see if you like them. Just cause it was not my style does not...

As a long time fan of Blue 42 in Elmwood Park, I was thrilled to see this place pop up local to my home. I gave the wings a shot thru uber eats, and while getting wings delivered via apps can be risky, I gave it a shot. They showed up and I was underwhelmed. They were very soggy, with no sauce detectable (I had ordered buffalo), and the chicken itself lacked flavor. I almost felt as if the wings were steamed, or even boiled/poached, as the skin had the consistency of a poached salmon/fish. I will give them another shot, but I would order the wings extra well done, as the skin was not barely cooked at all, representing stretched human skin like Dane Cook and Luis Guzman showed in the movie Waiting. I'm sure the in-person dining experience is superior, but since I have no one to go out to eat with, I must just sit at home alone and eat my soggy, steamed, maybe poached,...

Amazing wings and sauce combos. Over 70 sauces to choose. They have dry rubs, burgers , salads , chicken sandwiches , appetizers and desserts. I couldn’t decide on wing sauces so I tried about 7. My favorite were the football themed ones which were “Touchdown Packers” and “The bears still suck “. The wings were large and crispy and tender. The loaded fries were covered with crispy bacon , sour cream and cheddar cheese. The chicken sandwiches can also be tossed in any of the wing sauces and I had to try one so I got it with garlic parm sauce and it was an awesome choice. I could have went without the lettuce and tomato on the sandwich actually a homemade coleslaw would have topped the chicken sandwich perfectly. I love the sports theme like their original restaurant , Blue 42 bar in Clifton. Lots of seating , fast friendly service. I’d like to go back to try other...
