Where To Find Some Of The Best Wings In Overland Park
You can get them fried, grilled, double dipped, extra saucy, sweet, spicy, whole, drumettes, wingettes, bone-in or boneless. Can we agree to call boneless wings “chicken nuggets” moving forward?)
Anyway, you get the point. There is a style of wing for every day of the week, plus some. We have worked on tracking down some of the best wings in Overland Park that need to be on everyone’s radar when they are in town.
The Peanut
The Peanut is often called home to the best wings in Kansas City, and it is easy to see why. The wings are served whole with the drum, wing, and tip all together, making them bigger and more satisfying than most. You can order them charred, crispy or regular. They already come smothered in sauce that is messy in the best way, so grab some extra napkins and dig in.
There are locations all over the city, including one in Downtown Overland Park!
Q39
The wings at Q39 have become local legend. They start with jumbo whole wings, brined overnight to lock in moisture. They’re partially cooked in the oven, crisped via frying, then slathered in their house-chipotle barbecue sauce. Finally the wings get a touch of smoke by being seared over live oak flames, giving them that signature char and smoky hit. The result is a wing that balances crisp, sweet, smoke, tang, and heat. Plus, while you're there you can try some world famous Kansas City BBQ!
Gus's Fried Chicken
Prefer your wings a little less saucy? Gus's Fried Chicken is the place for you! They serve made-to-order, hand-battered fried chicken with a Southern spicy profile. Their chicken is fresh (never frozen) and cooked with a breading that delivers a crispy exterior and moist, juicy interior. Though “wings” aren’t always called out as a separate specialty at every location, reviews often praise the bone-in pieces (wings or wing combos) for retaining the signature flavor, texture, and kick that Gus’s is known for.
92Chicken
Korean-style chicken wings are a must-try, and 92 Chicken in Overland Park serves some of the best. Their wings are double-fried for maximum crunch, then coated in sauces that range from sweet to spicy. Portions are generous, with options by the pair or in a 10-piece order that’s perfect for sharing. What makes them unforgettable is the texture... The coating stays crisp even after saucing! For an extra kick, add the popular “snow onion” topping.
Nick & Jake's
This list is not complete without a classic buffalo wing, and Nick & Jake's has some of the best ones in town. They are the perfect balance of spicy and smoky, and the creamy housemade blue cheese dressing makes for the perfect dipping sauce. Plus, they pair perfectly with an ice cold beer on tap.
