and i finally made it to my first brooklyn brothers.. having eaten at and been to brooklyn in nyc several times over the past ten years, the name caught my attention a few months back but life happened.
this modern american diner, specialising in buffalo style chicken wings, burgers and craft beers popped up on my radar again though recently, whilst trying to source the best sticky chickenwingsin johannesburg and was recommended to me by several foodies as having just that!
why? my partner's favourite meal is sticky chicken wings! and off i went in search of the best chickenwingsin johannesburg learning just how bad some chickenwingsactually are at restaurants around south africa.
the bb interiors have a distinct brick face look about them, almost a rough and rugged, no frills look.
brooklyn brothers pride themselves on their wings, which come in portions of 4 - 100 (yes 100). thesewingsare crispy fried and handspun, then served in a variety of 20 different flavours:
buffalo honey
honey teriyaki
tikka
bourbon bbq
peanut satay
jazzed hoisin
garlic parmesan
honey mustard
lemon, herb & garlic
sticky maple,
smokey bbq
lime, coriander & ginger
sour cream & chives
salt & vinegar
cajun
then there are the hot sauces:
suicidal
screaming
scorching
sizzling
smiling
wings: 5/5.
service: 3/5.
ambiance: 3/5.
i sadly did not have my camera on me for this visit, but shall return soon to photograph and do these chickenwingsjustice!
*recommendation: if you are looking for a no-frills joint to service your stickywingscraving, (so far) this is best one that i have discovered in johannesburg and i can assure you that they have a sauce to suite every taste!
