Classic wings, two ways: Buffalo chilli or Smokey BBQ, served with ranch. Crispy, bold, and made for repeat orders.

🥃 @acaciaridgehotel 
Saucy Chicken Wings tossed in Bourbon BBQ, topped with shallots and served with ranch. Sweet, sticky, and seriously addictive.

🌶 @tempehotel
Technically not wings, but their Chilli BBQ Chicken Ribs bring that crispy, spicy kick. Finished with coriander, shallots and aioli — we’re not skipping them.

🍖 @settlersinn
Go big or go home: ½ kg BBQ-spiced wings served with dipping sauce. Perfect for sharing… or not.
