Yes. Some chicken wings are great. Many chicken wings are good. Even mediocre chicken wings tend to be edible.
But, the best wings that I have ever had were actually not chicken. They were TVP nuggets at a vegan joint (I am not vegan), which, since chicken wings are basically a delivery vehicle for sauce anyway won hands down for the most A May Zing house made sauce of blended fresh chilies, garlic, cilantro, and some kind of voodoo magic.
I used to get them all the time, but the restaurant is dead to me now because the very first time I took my husband there to introduce him to the amazing sauce, they poisoned him with whole peanuts hidden in his coleslaw. Peanuts... in coleslaw... (?!)... which is already an abomination but especially so since we specifically, and repeatedly, asked to make sure that nothing we were ordering had any peanut products in it. He took one bite and finished his meal with an epi-pen, severe vomiting, and a 6 hour nap on the couch during which I periodically had to poke him and make sure he was still breathing. In apology, they gave us a gift certificate that we never used.
I still miss that damn fake chicken wing sauce though.

Darn...that’s just all around unfortunate for everyone 
It also makes me want some delicious wings, mainly for some epic sauce of course.

Yeah, it was awful. We have to be really careful whenever we go out to eat.
But as for chicken wings, it's all about the sauce.

If sauce is what makes wings good then wings are a fraud.

The blatant wingism in here is disgusting and disturbing
You're all a bunch of wing-o-phobic wingists

So, what you're saying is that chicken wings don't count for shit, and that they need to be transformed into something completely different....needing a full makeover to be considered edible? I would have to agree with that.

It is beyond opinion. It is now my lifes mission to prove this single point: there is such a thing as a good chicken wing
Ps. I don't even eat chicken that much. But any part of the meat can be made into a stellar dish :p

If you mean stellar in the sense one kind of shoots for the stars, I'd imagine with chicken wings you're talking about glow in the dark ones your dad put on the ceiling for you...

My dad is dead. And yes. Any food can be made to a point where it's amazing. It's all in the chef.

Seriously how good different types of food is really just in the eye of the beholder.
If wings are incredibly delicious and delectable to one person, then they are that to that person.
If a person thinks wings are terrible then they are to that person.
There's really no right or wrong answer, just depends on the person.

Only when food is being discussed. Otherwise I feel like his opinions are worthwhile, and well-thought-out.

Eh, I'm a big sauce/condiment person generally so a good sauce is the highlight of a lot of dishes for me.
If you're talking about the wings of chickens as a cut of meat vs Chicken Wings (which as a title of a dish connotes a very specific, highly sauced -- or flavored with dry rub, which is blasphemy but some people like dry wings -- and recognizable class of pub & pizzeria food, then yes as a dish they are all about the sauce. (For me.))
As for wing of chicken as a cut of meat, it does have slightly more use than just for Chicken Wings... being dark meat, the meat itself is generally more flavorful than breast, and if you are in to eating world cuisine they're made better use of in the cookery of other cultures. I remember sitting next to a lady from Africa (Ghana maybe? I don't remember for sure) at a potluck where someone had brought a whole roasted chicken. She had grabbed the wings and told me that they were the only parts of American chickens that she would eat since she found our chickens to be otherwise flavorless in comparison to what she was used to. Also, the tips being relatively high in collagen, they are great for saving and adding to stocks if you want them to gel nicely.
