Wing Nutz moved in to Orem this month selling the preposterous idea that chicken wings are more meal than appetizer.

Or maybe it’s not preposterous. But even if you’ve always seen wings as a main course, you’ll be in for a bit of a surprise at Wing Nutz. There’s little else on the menu.

Besides the wings, there’s four wraps (three made with chicken), four salads (one with chicken) and a quesadilla (with the option to add chicken, of course). This is a good thing, because as we’ve said before, less is more when it comes to menus.

You get 10 wings for $10, and you can make smaller and larger orders if you wish, right up to the Premium Party Platter with 100 wings. The hardest part of ordering is choosing which of the 18 sauces you’ll have with your wings. With 10 wings you get a choice of two, which come slathered on the wings, or you can choose a menu item called “Dip & Go Naked,” in which your 10 wings are accompanied by three cups of sauce for you to apply at your discretion. Our only complaint is it’s difficult to get sauce on the middle portion of a chicken wing by dipping it into a cup. Someone ought to invent a wing-shaped dipping cup so you can submerge the whole wing.

There is plenty of sauce variety. We loved the Southern Honey BBQ and Raspberry Chipotle sauces. They had just the right amount of sweetness, spice and smoky flavor. The Zesty Orange and Mango Pom Chipotle sauces weren’t bad either, each with a hint of fruity sweetness. The Chili Garlic was fine but unremarkable (especially when compared to the Southern Honey BBQ), and the Apricot Teriyaki was too strong for our taste.

The Traditional wing sauce was marked with three red stars, the spiciest rating on the menu, and it’s fair to say the sauce earned it. It has a strong vinegar flavor, not unlike Tobasco, and the heat was enough to burn even the spice lovers in our group. When menu items are marked spicy here, even as in the Spicy Ranch and Spicy Blue Cheese dressings, they mean it.

Actually, our favorite menu item here was not chicken, and isn’t a wing, technically. Wing Nutz makes what it calls Hog Wings, which is a cross section of a pork rib. The bone is minimal, easily removable and surrounded by tender, juicy meat. It was a delight compared to picking pieces off of wing bones. The Hog Wings can be ordered with any of the wing sauces.

For dessert, your server brings you a handful of wet wipes. Trust us, you’ll need them.
