This spot serves up the best chicken in Dane County--hands down. Made to order, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. But let's talk about that blue cheese... I dream about it! The chunks of blue cheese are amazing, and it's easily one of the best I've ever had. The breading and sauces are on point, and I love that it's a hole-in-the-wall kind of place--clean, cozy, great service and giving small-town bar vibes with top-tier wings. A must-visit for wing lovers!

My son and I came here for a late lunch to check out this place that has been on my bucket list for a couple of years. I am sad to say that I haven't come here sooner! The wings are absolutely superb, and we loved the buffalo, however, we wished we would've asked about the original sauce before ordering. It seems that it is a housemaid, spicier version of the buffalo - which we would have appreciated! Ranch was good, seemed like it was homemade. We didn't try the buffalo but apparently it's liked well enough to sell it by the pint! My rail drink was $2.75 during happy hour, which was cheaper than my son soda! Heavy pours, and super friendly Bartenders round out a great experience! I can see why it expanded to a chain! Sometimes there's no reason to have an extensive menu if what you do is really good. Chicken licks is no exception to that rule. I cannot wait to bring back my husband For happy hour! Also, my son and I were truly digging the old school jukebox that still plays a variety of music for $.25!

Quick service, bar atmosphere, and delicious wings -- keep it simple, keep it sweet. These are probably the best wings we've had in the area. We went with the bbq wings, but after reading a lot of reviews, we will be back to try the dry rub wings as well. The cheese curds were also amazing. Hoping to catch them on a day with better weather because the outdoor seating is expansive and looks super fun.

First time here and we were impressed. Excellent bartenders who managed to keep up with the crowd on this busy night. Thirteen bucks for a basket of chicken wings. Everything we had was good but we preferred the dry rub over the "original" because they are already heavily sauced. Most food here comes in a plastic basket with a sheet of greaseproof paper on the bottom. No dishes to wash here! Makes sense. Medium noise level and fast efficient service. Sort of a cult neighborhood place but friendly. Definitely worth stopping by. They do take credit cards but cash is always appreciated.
