Albany’s Newest Wing Spot Claims Chicken Perfection
A popular local chicken wing spot that closed a little over a year ago, will re-open soon with new owners and the wings and menu look awesome!
The ever popular chicken wing restaurant 'Wings Over Albany' which was located at 1704 Western Avenue in Albany shut down without notice back in December of 2018.
But have no fear, a new wing spot is here - or at least coming soon. According to a post on Albany Reddit, the owners of the mainly New York State based franchise 'Atomic Wings' will be taking over the vacated spot left empty when WOA left.
No word on how soon it will be before the new wing kings make Albany their newest location.
According to their website, "Atomic Wings was originally conceived in 1981. Their founder couldn’t find the hot, crispy wings that he savored during his college years in Buffalo. So, he spent several years perfecting the process, recipe, and art behind the perfect chicken wing, and in 1989 he was able to open the first Atomic Wings location in New York City. "
