Golden Flame Hot Wings

Gotta say, these wings were excellent.
I live in Las Vegas and we have a really good wing spot here that overcooked my wings last time I visited.
Buffalo Wild Wings is trash now and it seems like everyone I talk to agrees with this so when I find good wings, it's a big deal.
Sadly, these great wings are not in NV but they are in CO where my daughter lives and also where my brother lives so I do visit regularly. I bought wings for my daughter and her family and I ordered the Golden Flame, the spicy Asian and whatever the heat level below Golden Flame is.
The Spicy Asian wings were excellent, probably the best I've had anywhere.
Definitely many times better than Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing, which I used to like before their quality dropped off but to be clear, these are better than what those were before their quality went in the crapper.
My favorite by far though were the Golden Flame.
The next level down is probably fine if you like a little less spice but the flavor of the Golden Flame was so good that I want to go into my kitchen and see if I can figure it out.
I do make my own wings but it's n involved process and it's easier to just buy from a restaurant when I want a quick wing fix.
In any case, if I'm going to figure out how to make my own when I'm back in NV, I need to esat a lot more of the original product when I visit CO so I'm looking forward to my next visit in February.
Great job!

Really liked this place. Went on boneless Tuesday, so didn't have high expectations, but the portions were huge.
Great bang for buck. And the sauces were great.
Did a trip of the house sauce, the hot Asian (didn't care for that one), and one of the other hot ones. Overall, great flavor, cook perfect, breading still had crisp with the sauce. Definitely will pick it up again.

First time eating here was great.
Got wings and fries to go.
Fries were ok, but wings were spot on and their signature sauce is delicious! Sadly, our second time eating here is probably our last.
We ordered 40 wings, and order of poppers, and an order of mozzarella sticks for takeout.
To start, we were supposed to get veggie sticks (celery and carrots) x3 with our order- according to their menu- we were asked if we wanted them and said yes.
Didn't get them.
We had ordered our wings "dry" with sauce on the side and were given 4 small (1 or 2 oz) cups, for 40 wings, arguably not enough sauce for 40 wings.
Now onto the food itself, all of the wings, poppers, and mozzarella sticks were taken directly from the fryer and put into Styrofoam containers.
They melted the Styrofoam so half our food was caked with it and inedible.
The 2 poppers that weren't affected were hard as rocks.
Was able to take half a bite and couldn't continue.
The mozzarella sticks had almost no cheese in them and were also hard as rocks.
We got about 25 or so wings that didn't have Styrofoam melted onto them and they were decent, seems like maybe the oil needed to be changed in the fryers to make them taste a bit better.
All this for about $75.
If you're thinking of going there, I'd say dine in instead of takeout and you may avoid our costly mistake.
