1ST PLACE
MOST AUTHENTIC!
Crown & Dragon, 890 Yonge St.
Thomas and the boys used to meet up for wings twice a week after practice, so rest assured he knows his mild from his medium. He loves Crown & Dragon’s “smokin’ gun” wings even though the flavour eludes him. “I don’t know what it is, but I like it,” he says with a big grin. So how does it compare to the wings back home? “I think it would do good,” he says. “A lot of people like their wings like that.” PRICE: $9.95

2ND PLACE
St. Louis Wings, 808 York Mills Rd.
Thomas waxes about the great texture, tender chicken and understated spiciness. This concoction would hold its own back in Buffalo, says Thomas. Price: $9.95
THIRD PLACE
All-Star Wings, 10720 Yonge St.
The sauce on these has Thomas licking his lips, but he’s most excited about the “perfect size” of the drumsticks: “It’s not too fat, but there’s enough on there,” he says. Price: $8.45
FOURTH PLACE
McSorley’s, 1544 Bayview Ave.
“This is good. Not a bam, but a zing,” says Thomas. He’s a fan of the charred texture and the homemade sauce, and he breaks out in a sweat after only one. Price: $6.99 for six whole wings
FIFTH PLACE
Duff’s Famous Wings, 1604 Bayview Ave.
“This one makes me sweat real good,” says Thomas, dabbing his forehead with a napkin. A bit too spicy for his taste, but an otherwise dynamite dish. Price: $9.75
