很難想象一個公司更致力於the chicken wing than Bird Box in North Hollywood. The restaurant offers nearly two dozen kinds of sauces and dips for its wings alone, plus bone-in and boneless wings at any scale needed. Want 100 jumbo wings to eat solo? Just call them up.

Angelenos love Hot Wings Cafe. The restaurant group has been going strong for decades, expanding into different neighborhoods and showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. Expect lots of sauce, differing heat levels, and lots of availability no matter where in the city one resides.

The real heat-seekers know to head to Howlin’ Ray’s for the batter’s box of wings, served at various spice levels to suit every need. The higher the heat, though, the more impossible they are to put down — so beware.

For those who like a little pain with their pleasure, order Ye Rustic Inn’s signature and extremely spicy Buffalo wings. An extra pitcher of beer is highly recommended.

The seemingly simple wings at Yang’s hide a harder-to-believe truth: Lots of wings hide behind too much breading and not enough technique. Here the lightly golden wings are only given the barest of side seasonings, allowing them to shine on their own. Don’t be fooled; they are very good.

The charred salsa macha wings at Eszett have been a day one staple, served hot and crispy from lots of time near the heat. Be sure to squeeze some citrus on top.

The saucy, spicy wings are about as classic as it gets at Cosa Buona, the staple corner Echo Park pizza spot. For nostalgia seekers eager to reclaim a better version of delivery wings from days gone by, this is the spot.

The godfather of Korean fried chicken, KyoChon’s ultra-crispy and extra-spicy wares never fail to delight. If things get too hot, cool off with the pickled daikon cubes served on the side.

This Culver City staple makes all of its fried chicken with love (and yes, there’s honey around, too). The extra-crisp batter makes for ideal wing eating, leading to happy messes at the table.

The wings are just right at chef John Clark’s ongoing pop-up Two Wings Chicken, which started after Clark left the Jon & Vinny empire to begin cooking for himself. After a long run at Smorgasburg, Two Wings is back out on the streets doing pop-ups at breweries and mid-week pickups, so be sure to order ahead.

This growing Southern California chain of pizza, pasta, and wings restaurants already has half-a-dozen outlets spread across Whittier, Pico Rivera, and beyond. Score wings by the dozens, with some 20-odd flavors to choose from, or opt for a six-pack of wings and a side of fries for solo snacking.

With more than a dozen different sauce and flavor options to choose from, it’s easy to see why Wing Ferno in Gardena does so well with its local crowd. Add in a second location in Orange County, and the future looks bright for one of Los Angeles’s best wing shops.
