You know it’s a great day when you’re gnawing on the best chicken wings in Jacksonville, lovingly dipped in dressing. We’ve noticed foods that pair well with sports correlate with messiness.
So, if you’re looking for the best chicken wings in Jacksonville, look no further. We’ve taste-tested around the city for the greasiest, most crunch-drenched-in-sauce wings you’ll find unattached to a chicken this side of the Florida-Georgia line.
Trap House Chicken has not only some of the most killer chicken wings in Jacksonville, but they’ve also got style. If you’re asking yourself “Why theme a restaurant after illegal drug use?” Well, their food is addictive and we definitely overdosed on the best chicken wings in Jacksonville –so there’s that.
We ordered the lumpia “blunts,” the Henny wings, the Sexy Red wings, Garlick Butter wings, Crack fries, and some of their fried ribs. For the sake of staying on track, we’ll speak only to the wings, but feel the need to inform the public that those ribs were insane.
The Henny wings were fried perfectly and absolutely, undeniably, dosed in liquor. These wings are for 21 and up ballers, no doubt.
Their dry wings are also fantastic, seasoned with love and crunchy–a true soul food of fried perfection.
Also, to point out, the service is absolutely great there, they’re super friendly and with great recommendations. While they are currently only doing to-go right now, perhaps they’ll expand. I’d love to see more Trap Houses popping up in my neighborhood, and we have no problem saying that.

As one of Jacksonville’s best Hidden Gems Pie95 has some darn good pizza, and lots of other delectable menu items. Namely, wood-fired chicken wings. They have 3 flavors, Classic Buffalo, Curry Lemon Pepper, and Korean BBQ (a crowd favorite). All three are masterfully executed, as is all of Chef Evan Eriksen’s handiwork. Developed in his food trailer, and perfected in his brick and mortar restaurant, these wings will almost make you forget about the pizza (ALMOST).
This is the place to try in Riverside, so take a seat on their beautiful patio and get your fingers messy!

Another brand new brick and mortar that started as a food truck, Butt Hutt stormed onto the scene in Murray Hill bringing their original Florida BBQ flavors. And guess what. Ain’t much better than a smoked chicken wing, nonetheless a Butt Hutt smoked wing. These guys pack so much flavor into each and every meat that you’ll eat, and their sauces are what truly set them apart from the rest, so don’t be shy to get a little wet.
Go check out their brand new store in the old Island Bar. It’s revamped, and suits its new owners beautifully. The perfect place to dig into some drums and flats!

When the pizzas are this good, nobody stops and thinks about the wings. BUT THEY SHOULD.
V Pizza’s wood-roasted chicken wings are unmatched, in my opinion. They are big, juicy, and covered in so much sauce, you don’t ask for ranch. We personally love the Cryin’ Hawaiian.
Marinated with V’s Hawaiian sauce (honey, Calabrian pepper paste, roasted pineapple, brown sugar, and nutmeg) and topped with roasted Calabrian peppers, a roasted pineapple ring, and basil, these wings are the sweet and spicy perfection.
Because the wings are made in the 900°F degree Italian wood ovens, their juices are locked in with a smokey, charred flavor you can’t get anywhere else. They are messy, tender, and 100% the best appetizer to your authentic Napoletana pizza.

The Mr. Chubby’s Wings I went to is located in the old “Bogey Grill” restaurant in Ponte Vedra.
We had the “Award Winning Chubby Style Wings,” which were grilled and doused in seasoning. The seasoning is definitely salty, so if your blood pressure is high, perhaps order Garlic Ranch.
They had nice, crispy skin and paired perfectly with a big dunk of blue cheese.
Mr. Chubby’s also doesn’t hold back on the big screens, and as a sports bar, we definitely recommend it for catching a game. Grab a pitcher of beer, and you’re in heaven.

“Wipeout Wicked Wings” take center stage of the menu because Wipeouts knows their wings are awesome. If you like wings so hot my lips feel freshly injected with Botox, and they don’t disappoint.
Their mango habanero blend is to die for, and you can get them all drums or flats, swimming (in sauce), or breaded. They are big wings with a lot of flavor and definitely deserve a top spot as the best wing in Jacksonville.

Treylor Park in Nocatee is a unique beach-themed restaurant with a good vibe and great staff. With plenty of seasonal cocktails and foods, it makes for a great regular haunt.
While the menu offers so many creative and appealing dishes, we’re here for the wings, and the wings do not disappoint.
Hold on to your horses because Treylor Park has PB&J chicken wings. Yes, you heard right, peanut butter and jelly wings.
After the initial shock has worn off, you might be wondering, “Is that actually good?” Why, excellent question, sir. The answer is, “heck yes.”
These crispy wings are tossed in a pecan/peanut butter sauce and mixed with peach jelly. It’s a perfect combination of savory, lean meat, decadent peanut butter, and sweet jelly. While it’s not the faint of heart, it’s a foodie dream come true.
We recommend pairing it with their signature cocktail, Cherry Cola, for an adult version of a childhood favorite meal.
