With so many places serving chicken wings, who can boldly single out the best in Michigan?
That challenge doesn't stop Thrillist from picking Sweetwater Tavern at 400 E. Congress in Detroit as the best place for wings statewide. It posts:
A Bricktown institution housed in one of the Motor City's oldest buildings (well, at least the original location is -- it's got four now), Sweetwater ditches the practice of offering a bajillion different sauce options to specialize in only one, and it's frankly heralded as Michigan's best wing.
Using meat straight from the Eastern Market, each wing takes a 24-hour bath in a top-secret sauce before getting dredged in spices and fried. They arrive at your table wet but not too saucy, with spice, salt and vinegar permeating every bite.
It's Detroit soul and BBQ at its finest, an institution built on the power of the wing that also happens to be one of Motown's finest classic bars.
