Buttermilk Wings

What is it?

Marinated in buttermilk, then fried until the skin turns crisp and golden, these wings carry a thinner coating than the standard fried chicken pieces. You get more of the wing itself and less shell. Buttermilk brings a mild tang and helps keep the meat tender, while the fry gives the outside that crackly texture people usually want from wings. They sit in Red Rooster's spicy snack-and-share end of the menu, alongside items like Wicked-style wings from other chains. Unlike breast pieces or burgers, these are all about skin, bone, and a simple seasoning profile rather than sauce or filling.
