THE LEGEND<\/p>

Forty-some years of \u201csecond best,\u201d on purpose<\/h2>

The birth of Hot Wings in Pennsylvania is a tale that began in 1978.<\/em><\/p>

Paul and Andy Whitiak founded the Windsor Inn and perfected the recipe and technique for the Original Chickin’ Pickin’ Lickin’ Wings \u2014 the first hot wings ever served outside New York state. The response from loyal patrons was immediate, and it never really stopped.<\/p>

In 1985 it became official: Windsor Inn Hot Wings were named the “World’s 2nd Best Hot Wings” \u2014 second only to the original hot wings served at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo since 1964. The title stuck, and so did the ambition behind it \u2014 wing contests and Wing-Offs sprang up across the region, and the Windsor kept winning them.<\/p>

In June of 2016, Andy and Sue Whitiak passed the torch to a new ownership group who grew up eating here. The name didn’t change. Neither did the standard.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
