North Dakotans Love Affair with Wings

I know back in my bar days, it wasn't really going out if you didn't order a plate of wings with that pitcher of beer. In most cases, the hotter the better. In some cases, the wings are so hot that they could peel the paint off the walls. I like my spicy food, but not that spicy if you know what I mean. I prefer to enjoy my food, not to struggle to even get it down the pie hole. Wings can definitely be a macho man thing.

North Dakota's Best Hot Wings Join

Our Friends at LoveFood recently named the best chicken wings in each state, and no surprise that North Dakota's best leans to the hot side. How hot? Right up there with a firecracker.

Introducing a dive bar that is well known in the state where bras and money hang from the ceiling. This place is tucked away in a neighborhood off a main stretch of road in this North Dakota city.

Parrot's Cay Tavern in Grand Forks was Named the Best of the Best

As you can see, there is no shortage of sauce with these wings. In the LoveFood article, Parrot's Cay's best wings are known as "Shark Wings".

As you can see, the wings are drowning in shark sauce. It's described as somewhere between buffalo and barbecue. Your heat level has 9 options, and goes all the way to 40, where you might need a mouth transplant if you can finish the plate by yourself.

Next time you're in Grand Forks to watch a UND hockey game, you might want to hit up "The Cay," as we affectionately called it growing up in the Forks, and try some hot wings. If you dare!
