Ahhh Hot n' Honey happiness!
Not far from Pennsburg, PA (where Pizza Como is located) is the town of Gilbertsville. This is where you will find the answer to the question, "Where can you buy both livestock and lingerie?" The answer is Zern's Farmers Market. Right next to Zern's is a small, easily overlooked restaurant, Red Hills Tavern. I was told that Red Hills Tavern has the best wings in the area. They have only six sauces: Mild, Hot, Suicide, Hot & Honey, BBQ, Hot Garlic & Parmesan.
The picture is from my second visit to Red Hills Tavern. On my first visit, I accompanied a good friend and local expert. On that visit we split 40 wings between us. My friend had been there before and recommended that we get 20 Hot and 20 Garlic & Parmesan. I was skeptical about the garlic & parmesan. I have had garlic & parmesan wings on a couple of occasions and they were always disappointing. What I overlooked was that these are not actually garlic & parmesan wings, but are "hot garlic & parmesan" wings. That is, they add garlic and freshly grated parmesan cheese to their hot sauce. On my second visit I got 20 hot & honey wings.
The wings are larger and meatier than what most restaurants serve. They came out hot on both occasions with plenty of sauce. The Hot sauce is a good standard Buffalo style sauce with good heat. The Hot Garlic & Parmesan sauce is an outstanding flavor combination. The parmesan adds a good contrasting flavor to the Buffalo sauce, while the garlic is, well, garlic (I like garlic). Finally, the Hot & Honey sauce is one of the best sweet wing sauces I have tasted.
Highly recommended.
