Hot and Fresh Delivery from Wings Over New Haven


We have some of the best food around, and we want to make sure that you get to enjoy it fully.

Our wings are fresh, huge, and juicy and we cook them in a manner which helps keep them as crispy as possible for delivery. At Wings Over New Haven, we believe that takeout and delivery food should be of the same quality and have the same effort put into it as good restaurant food.

Wings Over New Haven has a delivery map on the computer and the staff uses that to route the delivery drivers. It’s fully interactive and shows where the store is and exactly how the drivers are going to get to where the food is going to.

It is used as a tool to make sure that the delivery drivers are getting to everybody on time and that they’re making the most efficient deliveries possible.

Once you call or order online, the food is cooked, and then goes in the delivery bag. Any sodas are also added to the bag. If you have ordered a milkshake, that goes in an insulated bag – to ensure that it is nice and thick, but still drinkable – and is then added to the larger bag.

The driver will then quickly leave the store and hurry your order to your home or workplace.

Fast, efficient, and delicious!

Cool Your Mouth With a Delicious Shake


You’ve just eaten some delicious Wings Over New Haven hot wings and now your mouth is on fire. How do you cool it?

Don’t reach for the glass of cold water, as it will only make things worse! Although water has a temporary cooling effect, chugging down glass after glass of water will actually spread the spiciness around.

Instead, grab a glass of milk – or anything else containing dairy, a spoonful of sugar, a lemon, or some starchy bread or French fries.

Milk contains casein, which helps to break up the capsaicin that causes the burning sensation from spicy food. The cool temperature will also help.

Ice cream – or one of our delicious milkshakes – will help for these reasons and because of its consistency, it will stay in the mouth for longer and will really work some cooling magic.
Sugar is great because it helps by absorbing the spicy oil that is coating your mouth, as well as giving you a different, strong taste in your mouth.

Eating a lemon, bread, or French fries helps to soak up or strip off the spicy oil from the inside of your mouth, cooling it off effectively.

While all of these methods will work, we recommend grabbing one of our shakes. Not only will you get the cooling you desire, but also the flavor you love.

The Experts Agree, Wings Over New Haven Rocks


Recently, cookbook author, home chef, food blogger, and entertaining expert Cindy Anschutz stopped by Wings Over New Haven to try out some of our delicious food.

She tried the slow cooked St. Louis style pork ribs, Cajun-style waffle fries with cheese, Cajun blackened chicken, a grilled chicken wrap, citrus chipotle wings, garlic parmesan boneless chicken tenders, and wimpy chicken wings.

As expected, she loved everything! 

With the Cajun blackened chicken, Anschutz noted how the Cajun was not overpowering and that the blackened spices were a nice blend. She also made note of how the food wasn’t too salty, and how the chicken was melting in her mouth.

When eating the wrap, Anschutz mentioned how much chicken was in it. (We really do stuff our wraps!)

While we have some hot buffalo wings, Anschutz went with the “wimpy” ones, and noted how the flavor was really nice.

Now that you’ve heard it from an expert, come on down and try out some of these amazing meals for yourself!

Pairing Wings with Wine for the Holidays


The holidays are almost here and it’s time to start thinking about your food and beverage menus.

While you may not necessarily think about pairing wings with wine, there are several wines that work well with chicken wings.

If you have barbecue wings, you can pair them with a Non-Vintage Champagne. The wine is a reasonably good match with the barbecue wings, with the sweetness of the sauce unaffected by the dryness of the wine. Those seeking a perfect match for the barbecue wings may want to try a semi-dry sparkler.

This wine is also a successful combination with spicy wings, because each component will hold its own against the other, and the wine will perform a refreshing, palate-deglazing function against the hot, acidic sauce.

If you’re looking to serve white wine, your best bet is to go with an off-dry Riesling. This wine will keep its flavor best with both barbecue and spicy wings.

With barbecue wings, a Pinot Noir will do a fairly good balancing act with the barbecue wings, allowing each to showcase its strengths. A pinot noir is less ideal for hot wings.

A Zinfandel is also a good match for the barbecue wing because it has enough sweet fruit to balance the sweet barbecue sauce. It was also a good match with the spicy wing, holding up nicely in the face of the heat and acidity of the sauce.

Have Some Leftover Wings? Try These Recipes!


You have some leftover wings in your refrigerator, and you certainly don’t want them to go to waste!

But maybe you don’t feel like eating them as traditional wings again. Here are some recipes that will transform those leftover wings into other delicious meals!

Buffalo Soup
32 oz. Chicken broth
1-3 cups Leftover hot wings, deboned
1-2 Cups blue cheese dressing (more or less depending on preference)
1/2 Cup carrots
1 Cup celery
1/4 Cup onion (optional)
1 Clove garlic (optional)
1/3 Cup hot sauce (more or less depending on preference)
Tortilla strips

The vegetables and blue cheese will be used carefully. Try it and see what you think if it needs more or less is up to you and what you prefer. To cook the vegetables, let them simmer until they get cooked to your preference. To serve, top with a swirl of blue cheese dressing and colored tortilla strips for color.

Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Chicken, cubed
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 (2 ounce) Bottle hot sauce
1 (8 ounce) Bottle blue cheese salad dressing
1 (16 inch) Prepared pizza crust
1 (8 ounce) Package shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, melted butter, and hot sauce. Mix well. Spread the whole bottle of salad dressing over the crust, then top with the chicken mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake it in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Chicken Enchiladas
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 Cup chopped green onions
1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 (4 ounce) Can diced green chiles
1 (10.75 ounce) Can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 Cup sour cream
1 1/2 Cups chicken, cubed
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
6 (12 inch) Flour tortillas
1/4 Cup milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a large baking dish. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the green onion until tender (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add the garlic powder, then stir in the green chiles, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. Mix it well. Reserve 3/4 of this sauce and set aside. To the remaining 1/4 of the sauce in the saucepan, add the chicken and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir it all together. Fill each flour tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll it up. Place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the reserved 3/4 of the sauce with the milk. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.

The Perfect Combo: Wings and Football


Whether they’re honey-dipped, sauce-slathered, mild or volcanic, wings are an extremely popular food to eat while watching football.

In fact, according to the National Chicken Council, Americans consumed 1.23 billion wings during the Super Bowl in February.

That’s a lot of wings!
