Our Story
Howard’s Playbook
Howard spent years honing his craft by opening and operating a series of successful chicken restaurants and barbecue joints scattered across the vibrant Southeast region. From bustling cities to quiet small towns, he immersed himself in the art of Southern cuisine, mastering the secrets of flavor and technique along the way. Through trial and error, late nights in steamy kitchens, and countless customer interactions, he distilled his experiences into two fundamental non-negotiables: fry it right and season with purpose. These principles became the cornerstone of his philosophy, ensuring that every dish not only satisfied hunger but also delighted the senses. At We Got Wings, we carry forward this legacy with unwavering commitment—every single batch of chicken undergoes a meticulous 24-hour spice soak to infuse deep, layered flavors, followed by a precise fry in fresh, clean oil to achieve that perfect golden crispness. Finally, each piece is generously tossed in our signature sauces, carefully calibrated from mild and approachable to nuclear levels of heat, all while delivering authentic, mouthwatering flavor that lingers long after the last bite.
That rich BBQ background influences every aspect of our menu, blending traditional smoking techniques with innovative twists to create unforgettable profiles. You'll taste it in our smoky maple jalapeño sauce, which marries the sweetness of maple with the fiery kick of fresh jalapeños, or in the classic Carolina Gold, a mustard-based favorite that's tangy and bold. And don't forget our boss sauce, expertly balanced with just the right amount of tang to cut through the richness without overpowering the natural chicken flavors. We've drawn from Howard's years of pit-mastering to incorporate subtle smokiness into our rubs and marinades, ensuring a depth that sets us apart. The end result is nothing short of spectacular: wings that crackle with every bite, revealing tender meat beneath; chicken tenders that remain incredibly juicy even after frying, thanks to our careful brining process; and our fan-favorite Broadway Chicken Sandwich, piled high with fresh toppings and sauces that deliver a slap of bold taste in every mouthful—all of it always prepared fresh and cooked to order to guarantee peak quality and satisfaction for our customers.
