Ahhh now THIS I feel qualified to answer.

Hooter's wings, I do not like them at all.  I had a craving for wings
right after I had my tonsils out a year and a half ago.  My parents took
me to the only nearby joint they knew of that had wings -- Hooters.  I
had a beer and some wings 4 days after the tonsillectomy.  The wings
however, were so bad that I didn't even try to eat more than one.  The
manager came by and asked if something was wrong with my food.  We
explained to him the tonsillectomy & my craving for wings and beer.  He
gave me a coupon for free wings the next time I came into the restaurant
so I tried them again much later.  Still didn't like them.

Wings I do like in order of my most favorite to least favorite:

1) Ratsie's College Park -- Recommended to me by a dc.dining reader last
summer.  Saved me on many a depressed and lonely night.  Hot AND flavor-
ful.  Good bleu cheese dressing as well.
2) Beacon Street Chantilly (?) -- Very good, not your standard wings, more
like what Hooter's served, but with a much better flavor.  Really good
bleu cheese dressing.
3) Outback Steakhouse -- spicy, flavorful, not overly hot
4) Chili's -- Okay wings.

My favorite wings ever though are from Athens, GA (The Three Dollar Cafe's
sister restaurant) and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Don't remember the name of
the joint but I will most definitely be able to find it when I go there
again.  They used worstershire sauce and some garlic on their wings.  MMMm)
