The Best Wings In Tucson

by Max WingertJul 28, 2023Updated Aug 4, 20265 min read
Red Bull may give you wings...but are they as crispy and delicious as the ones you can find amongst the restaurants and bars of southern Arizona? I think not! From savory to sweet, from spicy to REALLY, REALLY SPICY, this guide covers all the best in Tucson wings -- the classics, the modern flavors, the inspired fusions, and more.

ATL Wings

5855 East Broadway Boulevard #114Midtown

As a renowned spot for wings in Tucson, ATL Wings has been serving delectable wings for years. They are known for their variety of unique and tasty sauces, with over 20 different types to choose from. We're talking six dry rubs, seven red hot sauces, seven barbecue sauces, and more. Oh, and don't miss the deep-fried biscuits either.

Barrio Brewing Co.

800 East 16th StreetDowntown

Along with brewing some of the best beers in Tucson, Barrio Brewing Company offers delicious, crispy wings that are smoked and then fried for extra flavor before being tossed in one of their exceptional sauces. Our favorites are the Tequila Cilantro and the Barrio Blonde BBQ -- made with one of their top-selling brews, naturally.

Bear Canyon Pizza

8987 East Tanque Verde RoadTanque Verde & Sabino

Known for generous slices and a wide selection of beer, Bear Canyon Pizza also delivers on their wings! Big and meaty, with intriguing sauces like raspberry chipotle and honey sriracha -- you won't want to miss them!

Buffalo Bell

3756 South 6th AvenueSouth Side

There's nothing like a good old-fashioned, classic hot wings joint and Buffalo Bell on the south side of Tucson is a staple here in town. If you're just a little hungry, order the five-piece but if you've haven't eaten in days or plan on feeding a large group, order the 60-piece (you can get up to four flavors on this combo).

Jaime's Pizza Kitchen

312 East Congress StreetDowntown

Gabriel's roots are deeply intertwined with Tucson's culinary world, and his family's involvement in the food industry dates back to his grandfather, Jaime Moreno. Now, with a new space and a brand-new dining room, Jaime's Pizza Kitchen is thriving, serving 10-inch and 16-inch pizzas, calzones, garlic knots, and hot wings — some of our favorite in Tucson — to hungry downtown eaters.

Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar

6444 North Oracle RoadNorthwest

Redbird's signature wings are brined for 24 hours, then flash-fried and generously coated in their house-made Honey Soy Ginger sauce, sriracha-sesame peanuts, and fresh scallions. These crispy delights embody their commitment to quality, homemade ingredients and unforgettable flavor-packed experiences. Ask for extra napkins.

Rocco's Little Chicago Pizzeria

2555 East Broadway BoulevardUniversity & 4th Ave

Known for Chicago-style deep dish pizzas, Rocco's Little Chicago also serves some of the most delectable wings in Tucson. They're praised for the distinctive crunch on the outside, juicy-on-the-inside flavor, achieved through a unique preparation method.

Wings y MĂĄs

1145 West Prince RoadMidtown

Opened in July, this restaurant has more than ten flavors of wings for its big debut including Salt & Vinegar, Garlic Parmesan, Lemon Pepper, Ranch, Cajun, Teriyaki, Grand Canyon Gold, Sweet & Spicy, AZ Heat, GC Heat, Medium, Hot, and house made Chiltepin. You've got the choice of a dozen bone-in or boneless wings (up to two flavors) or four-dozen, six-dozen, and a mighty eight-dozen option.
