SAW’s Soul Kitchen, the beloved Birmingham BBQ joint and sister restaurant to SAW’s BBQ, is Alabama’s best place for chicken wings according to Buzzfeed. But is anyone surprised? We are definitely not.

Located in the heart of Avondale since May 2012, SAW’s Soul Kitchen features SAW’s popular southern cuisine, plus dishes with a few twists.

The fan favorite? Obviously the chicken wings + white sauce combo. *drool*

If Buzzfeed Said it, it Must be True… Right? 🤪

You always hear the saying “Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.” But this is the exception.

To compile the 51-place list, Buzzfeed reached out to Yelp to help determine the fan favorite wing spots in each state (and DC). According to the story, Yelp used a ~magic wing-finding~ algorithm to rank the reviews, and pinpoint the most popular wing joints across the nation.
