Windsor Inn Hot Wing History

The birth of Hot Wings in Pennsylvania is a culinary tale dating back to 1978...

Paul and Andy Whitiak, founders of the Windsor Inn, perfected the recipe and technique for the "Original Chickin' Pickin' Lickin' Wings" and first ever Hot Wings outside of New York state. Overwhelming response by loyal patrons signaled the beginning of the Windsor Hot Wing Legacy! In 1985, it became official, Windsor Inn Hot Wings were named the "World’s 2nd Best Hot Wings," second only to the original hot wings served at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY since 1964.
The popularity of our hot wings gave rise to wing contests called Wing-Offs throughout the region. We took one award after another, including the 1993 and 1994 WHPA Invitational State Championship, held in Altoona PA. It's the largest in Pennsylvania! In 1994, we shattered our own record, serving 12,000 Hot Wings to capture 45 percent of the vote! We also hold the 1991 and 1992 Wings Over Montage and the 1992 Scranton Times Readers Poll awards for the Best Hot Wings in Northeastern Pennsylvania, as well as several others.

People travel from surrounding states for a taste of Hot Wing history. Our Hot Wings and our Staff Out-Wing the rest. Sit back and enjoy the "World's 2nd Best Hot Wings." We've been serving the most talked-about (and most popular) Hot Wings south of Buffalo for over 30 years. We've served over 50 million wings and counting with more than 8 million customers (and counting!).

In 2007, after a brief, but devastating illness we lost Paul. He meant so much to all of us and the transition hasn't been an easy one. Our staff has helped immeasurably. And, our loyal customers have been patient and supportive.

Our success has always been a tribute to our friends, customers and incredible staff. None of this would be possible without you.

A Gracious Thank You!
Andy and Sue Whitiak
