Wings 'n Things - Village of Hempstead

Wings n’ Things is a fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious southern-style wings and sides. We ordered the honey barbecue wings, spicy barbecue wings, Spanish rice, collard greens, coleslaw, and cornbread, and every item was a hit. The honey barbecue wings were incredibly tangy with a sweet honey barbecue sauce that was just perfect. The spicy barbecue wings stood out with their good char flavor, tender meat, and a tangy sauce that wasn’t too spicy – definitely the better of the two, almost like buffalo wings. The Spanish rice was well-cooked and seasoned perfectly, making it a delightful side dish. The collard greens tasted fresh and green, boiled or steamed with just the right amount of seasoning. The coleslaw had a medium tang and a fair crunch, with a mayonnaise dressing that was heavy but still enjoyable. The star of the show, surprisingly, was the cornbread. Advertised as a must-try, it did not disappoint. It was crumbly, slightly sweet, and had a sticky, cakey texture that was delightful. The corn flavor was prominent, and it paired perfectly with the wings, even better than the Spanish rice. The cornbread was served hot, adding to the overall experience. The restaurant was bustling with activity, both for takeout and drive-through, indicating its popularity among the locals. Despite being busy, the food arrived quickly, which was impressive. Overall, Wings n’ Things clearly puts effort into their food, unlike many other chicken wing places. I highly recommend this place for its delicious food, quick service, and the evident care they put into every dish.

Got the 10pc $15 leg thighs special, $16.28 in total. That red sauce they have is soo good on the chicken and it was juicy, crispy, well seasoned. They should give bigger pieces, though, and include cornbread or biscuit on that special.

Staple fried chicken, have been going here since I was a child, decades later still my go-to!

Parking: Shares a lot with 7-11 making parking in the lot, more difficult

The chicken was not very seasoned, however it is crispy and apparently fresh, which is very important. The BBQ sauce, from my point of view, is extremely synthetic. It looks like cheap strawberry jam. They have to look for a KFC type...
