Hot as shit or loaded with salt and pepper. Honey garlic is also pretty good, and there's this one kind from a place near my house that I really like. I don't remember what it's called or even what it really tastes like, but I know it was named after an Evil Dead or a Duke Nukem quote, though I don't think it was "hail to the king."

Is it Shake It Baby, Yeah!
 
Who doesn't love Buffalo Wings? They are amazing appetizers to have and great if you want something flavorful and quick.
For a long time I preferred boneless but I have been converted to liking them with bones (not eating the bones ofc)
I like them very spicy, whatever restaurant has the spiciest basically. Sriracha, Korean flavor and BBQ are also nice too. They go best with some ranch and celery as well.

Spicy, I don't care about bones or not. Just as spicy as they can get.
 
Bone-in, and no sauce but a good mid level spicy rub.

Oh, I love my wings crispy. Preferably Asian (Korean or Vietnamese), and honey flavored.
Ever tried them fried with a rice flour coating? It's something truly magical.

Yeah but if the inside isn't cooked right or is rubbery and doesn't fall off the bone the crispy outside is worthless.

Like eating a cake, with bad cake part but the frosting is good.
 
I used to really like saucy doused wings but I've gained an appreciation for wings with a dry rub. Smoked with dry seasoning can be really fantastic. I like 'em fairly picante but with flavor alongside, no burning the tastebuds out. The quality of actual wings sourced is a huge factor too.

Also someone said boneless wings are just tendies and frankly that's a best case scenario. You would be lucky at most restaurants to get actual chicken tenders, a small but real cut of meat that is attached to the chicken breast. You are more likely to receive a cheap processed and pressed chicken nugget, the chicken equivalent of a hot dog, barely better than a McNugget.

But even if you're somewhere that makes a point of serving real tenders, boneless chicken cuts are schwag, folks. It's bring-your-own-flavor. If you get used to cooking chicken legs and breasts (or half/whole chickens) you will find that cooking bone-in results in much richer and tastier meat. Wings are no different, the meat is much better when cooked with the bone inside.

I like Hot Buffalo & Golden BBQ sauced wings but none of those flavors hold a fucking candle to a good Parmesan Garlic sauce
 
Whenever I go to Wing Stop I always order bone-in wings (remember that if you order boneless wings you're not getting real wings, boneless wings are made of white breast meat while proper wings are dark meat) their Louisiana Rub seasoning and lemon-pepper seasoning with a side of cajun seasoning to sprinkle on both.

If I end up at a Buffalo Wild Wings or someone in my group decides to be a sadistic bastard and order wings from Pizza Hut I end up getting garlic-parmesan over lemon-pepper while the second flavor usually varies. Pizza Hut has a dry Cajun rub that I like but B-Dubs tends to rotate out their flavors too quickly for me to stick to one. I miss B-Dubs' lemon-pepper sauce and their pizza wings (which was basically their garlic-parmesan wings sprinkled with tomato powder). As far as Wingstop's concerned I only miss some of their combined flavors, but one original flavor I REALLY miss is their Brazilian Citrus Pepper sauce.
 
Buffalo Wild Wings has some bussin' Cajun Chicken Alfredo wings. I prefer a local wing joint right down the street from my house though, they have a cayenne pepper rub that's divine.

I hate Wing Stop with a burning passion normally reserved for ethnofascists and the government, but if I'm dragged there by the gang I just get the lemon-pepper wings. Can' go wrong with lemon-pepper.
 
Medium with bones. Assuming it's a place where "medium" means "spicy, but not overwhelmingly so".
 
I like mine hot with a hint of sweetness. Something like a spicy barbeque is my go to. I do bone in, as I am a big boy and eating like a barbarian makes my unevolved lizard brain happy.
