Best Wings in Airdrie: Every Sauce and Dry Rub at 1861, Mild to Wild
Wings are the most-ordered thing at most pubs, and they're the easiest thing to get wrong. At 1861 Local Bar & Grill in Airdrie we use non-breaded premium wings, sold by the pound and served with celery and carrots. The real decision is the flavour, with 23 options to pick from. Here's the full list, sorted roughly from mild to hot.
Mild and sweet sauces
Good for first-timers, kids at heart, or anyone who wants the flavour without the burn:
- Mild
- Honey Garlic, the all-time crowd pleaser
- Teriyaki
- Sweet Chilli
- BBQ
- Ranch
- Garlic Parm
- Butter Chicken, a house favourite you won't find at most Airdrie pubs
- Whiskey Girl
Medium heat
Some kick, still friendly:
- Med Hot
- Honey Hot
- Hot Teriyaki
- Hot Ranch
- Hot Dill Pickle
Bring the heat
Order a pint with these:
- Hot
- Suicide, our hottest sauce. You've been warned.
Dry rubs
If you'd rather keep your fingers clean, or you want the wing to stay crispy, go with a rub: Lemon Pepper, Salt & Pepper, Cajun, Maple Bacon, Dill Pickle, Salt & Vinegar or White Cheddar.
Can't decide? Get saucy and mix. Half and half is always allowed.
