What makes the wings so good?

(My business is known for its chicken wings as well, just comparing notes!)

I would submit that they actually aren't that good on an absolute scale. Relative to other widely available chain wings, perhaps, and I suspect that's why they have such a strong following.

Mind you, I haven't had them in years and now live almost 7 hours from the nearest Quaker Steak and Lube. My recollection may be flawed.

Fair. I'm not a fan of any of the chain wings.

Our recipe is simple: decent sized wings, deep fried naked, sauced and served. Good sauces matter, of course.

Given how easy that is, it's amazing to me that almost nobody else has good wings (at least around here). I'm not sure what they're doing differently.
