Winging It: Exploring Cranbrook's Top Chicken Wing Spots
It’s the finger food many know and love, the one that brings friends together over a communal snack to pair with their favourite après work or play beverage. We, of course, are talking about chicken wings.
A pub and restaurant staple, chefs from around the globe have sauced, dusted, and infused their own unique flavours into these crispy and juicy bite-sized favourites.
Naturally, boasting some of the most creative culinary minds, some of Cranbrook’s top joints are putting their own spin on this classic (and are even offering specials on them weekly). So, if you’re looking for where the best wings in Cranbrook can be found, check out these spots below:
Fenwick and Baker
Peanut butter on chicken wings!? Yes, and they are TASTY.
The quintessential pub experience, Fenwick and Baker is sure to have a wing flavour you haven’t tried before, like “The Baker” with peanut butter, sweet Thai chili and cilantro, or “The Fenwick” with hot sauce, ranch and blue cheese crumbles.
