8. Las Vegas: Naked City Pizza Shop
It's hard to find a meal under $15 in Sin City, but locals know to head to this spot off The Strip to find the top wings in the city for a super affordable price. The heat of the hot wings ranges from mild to suicide.
9. Chicago: Jake Melnick's Corner Tap
If you love hot wings, you can go with the super popular traditional Buffalo wings or opt for the XXX wings that are coated in a sauce made with habaneros, ghost peppers and scorpion peppers aka the world's hottest pepper. Just be sure to have a beer on hand to help you cool down!
10. Atlanta: Jack's Pizza & Wings
This spot is a year-round local favorite and is sure to have lots of orders for its best-selling lemon pepper wings when the Atlanta Falcons compete at the Super Bowl this year.

Pizza isn't the only food that makes Bostonians flock to this restaurant. The menu is filled with comfort foods like short rib poutine and also has the best classic Buffalo, BBQ and teriyaki wings in town for New England Patriots fans.

Portland may not have an NFL team, but the city is still mad for chicken wings.

In addition to great sauce flavors like the "Soon to be Famous" Spicy Peanut, all of the wings are from free-range, antibiotic and hormone-free chickens.
13. Philadelphia: Royal Tavern
Buffalo, chipotle barbecue and mango habanero wings are available every day on the menu and special flavors are offered weekly. It's the city of brotherly love, so you better be ready to share!
