Delicious Homemade Dishes and Sides

There's something special about a meal that's been perfected over generations. Since 1988, our family has been serving up the most incredible chicken dishes to the communities of Hempstead and Elmont, NY. What started as a small family dream has evolved into a beloved local institution where regulars know our staff by name and newcomers quickly become part of our extended family. We've weathered economic ups and downs, changing food trends, and even a pandemic—all while maintaining our commitment to quality ingredients, generous portions, and recipes that haven't changed because, frankly, they've never needed to. Our kitchen team, many of whom have been with us for over a decade, pour their hearts into every dish that leaves the kitchen, treating each order as if they were cooking for their own families.

When you're craving comfort food that satisfies on a primal level, Wings 'n' Things delivers an experience that chain restaurants simply can't match. There's a reason why families have been celebrating special occasions with us for over three decades, why college students returning home make us their first stop, and why local sports teams gather here after games. It's not just about the food—though that's certainly exceptional—it's about the feeling of coming home. Our restaurants in Hempstead and Elmont maintain that perfect balance between nostalgic comfort and modern tastes, with recipes handed down through generations but updated just enough to keep things interesting. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel; we're just making sure it's the smoothest, most satisfying ride possible. Give us a call or visit us today for the best chicken in NY!

Wings 'n' Things

Chicken

We start with premium poultry that's never frozen, marinated in our blend of herbs and spices (a closely-guarded family recipe that hasn't changed since 1988), and prepared fresh daily. Whether you prefer your chicken crispy fried with that perfect golden crust or roasted to juicy perfection, each piece receives the same meticulous attention to detail. We've got options ranging from whole rotisserie chickens that feed the entire family to our famous chicken tenders that even the pickiest eaters can't resist.

Wings

Let's talk about what put us on the map—our legendary wings. These aren't your average, run-of-the-mill wings; they're meaty, perfectly cooked, and tossed in sauces that range from subtly tangy to "I-might-need-a-moment" spicy. Our Buffalo wings stay true to tradition with that perfect butter-hot sauce balance, while our specialty flavors like Garlic Parmesan, Honey BBQ, and our fiery hot sauces offer something for every palate. We don't cut corners with pre-made sauces—everything is crafted in-house daily.

Additional Dishes and Sides

While our name highlights our specialties, our menu extends well beyond wings and chicken. We've carefully developed sides that complement our main attractions perfectly—from creamy mac and cheese that's worth the trip alone to collard greens simmered with smoked turkey for that authentic Southern touch. Our cornbread has developed its own following, with its perfect balance of sweetness and that coveted crispy edge. For those seeking lighter fare, our fresh salads feature house-made dressings that transform ordinary greens into something special.
