Mmm... wings... *droool*

Best wings in MN (next to Buffalo Wild Wings) is the spicy chicken wings in Brooklyn Center. It's located just offa highway 100 and Bass Lake Rd, in the Hmong American Shopping center. I forget the name of the place, but it's a small place next to a restaurant called Chuckwagon. They fry it with onions and it is ORGASMIC!

because unlike the american fast food places, chinese dont let their wings sit under the food warmer/heat lamps for hrs, they're made to order.

This is sort of on topic:

One time while I was eating at my local chinese place, this black guy was killing some wings.

I thought MSG wasn't allowed to be used in cooking here in the US? :confused:

Wow, talk about misinformed!

It's MSG and sauce. Several of my friends own wings cafe. I don't eat any of the sauce because of it. I eat my wings plain with salt & pepper.
