The “best wing” lists online seem to have a hidden agenda, you would think there would be some consensus, but with a few exceptions it’s pretty much all over the board. However we were able to find some interesting joints, some gourmet, some unique, some cheap, and one reputable recipe that seemed to stand out from the rest.

CREEKSIDE BAR AND GRILL (CALGARY)

A local favorite where 10 dollars gets you a pound of wings, tossed in your choice of hot, medium, bbq, hot honey, teriyaki, parmesan, salt & Pepper, Cajun, and Lemon Garlic. The parmesan seems to be the most popular.
