Hooters (round 2)

GOOD

825 7th St NW, Chinatown
Many people claim they go to Hooters for the wings and football. Now, let’s be honest, people go to Hooters for the football, beer and boobs! I went to Hooter’s this fine night with Donna R because the place we originally ordered wings from was closed at 11:00pm and we REALLY wanted wings. Good old faithful Hooters pulled through being open nice and late ready to serve us fine classy ladies in our PJ’s. (P.S. We took the order to go) We did order a number of flavors though which were the following:

1. Naked Cajun- Donna and I both agree these wings were pretty good. We enjoyed that they were not covered in the breading. The Cajun spice was a little buttery/oily but still had a decent flavor and I would order them again. They are not my favorite in a Cajun spice mix but the sizes of these wings are pretty large for a wing. GOOD

2. Naked BBQ- These were pretty good. You could really taste the BBQ sauce that was poured all over the wings since it was just the skin on wing fried, and then covered in BBQ sauce. When you order these wings breaded the breading takes away from the chicken flavor and all you taste is soggy BBQ flavored bread. I would recommend getting these wings naked style to really taste the BBQ sauce and savor the chicken itself. GOOD

3. Naked Garlic Parmesan-  Of the naked style wings these were the ones that Donna and I liked the most. We both like garlic and parmesan flavored wing. This style wing can be hard to come by without tasting overly salty. These are pretty freakin good at Hooters naked style. Oddly enough these were still appetizing even with all the white gooey sauce on them. The sauce was definitely garlicky and you could taste the parmesan cheese without it being like a salt lick. GOOD/EXCELLENT

4. Breaded 3 Mile Island- These were the only wings we ordered that were breaded. Wow, was that an epic fail. Apparently the way to not go at Hooters is with the breaded wings. All that the breaded does is take away from the flavor of the sauce and kill any heat there might be in what you have ordered. The 3 Mile Island is supposed to be the hottest wing they have at Hooters and it is shameful with the breading. I am sure it would have been hotter if we would have ordered it naked style but I wanted to try at least one wing with breading. Now I know to stay away from the breading especially if I want to try some spice. NEVER AGAIN

Overall if you want to enjoy the chicken and taste the sauce at the same time at Hooters then order the wings naked style. If you want to eat the wings crappy style order them breaded. If you are there for the boobs order them however you want.
