🥇 These wings are all winners

As anyone planning to watch the Big Game knows, you’ll need a lot of wings. But don’t just wander into the nearest bar and hope to find Super Bowl-worthy fare. We scouted out some of Boston’s top wing offerings so you can be ready from play one.

Best place to buy in bulk: Scores
Grab 50-cent wings every NFL and NCAA football game. You may remember Scores (and its 30+ HDTVs) appearing on our sports bar roundup — meaning, it’s a good contender for your complete game day package.

Best wings to eat at home: Lincoln Tavern
Pick up a tray of 80 spicy wings to enjoy in front of your own big screen, plus any of Lincoln’s other catering options: barbecue sliders, shrimp cocktails, salads, and truffle mac and cheese.

Best boneless wings: Hunter’s
Listen — we know popcorn chicken and wings aren’t exactly the same thing. But when you’re chomping fried bites at halftime, you won’t be splitting hairs. As a bonus, the South Boston spot is offering everything you need to make KFC-style bowls at home.

Three plates of wings in different colored sauces, with carrots and celery and ranch. On the side are a pint of light beer and a red cocktail.

Best smoked wings: The Smoke Shop BBQ
Wings may be a Super Bowl staple, but we think good barbecue could give it a run for its money. Score both at one of The Smoke Shop’s multiple locations.

Best fried chicken wings: Buttermilk & Bourbon
For classic Louisiana-style fried chicken, you’ll be hard-pressed to find more dedication (or options) than Buttermilk & Bourbon. Its Super Bowl menu includes wings, sliders, and thighs, plus honey glazed biscuits for maximum Southern comfort.
