8 places to score chicken wings in Manchester

Bunny Jackson’s touts itself as a dive bar and, while there is indeed ‘cold beer, frozen margaritas and a lot of whisky’, you can still line your stomachs as burgers, bar snacks and BJ’s wings are served every day from noon until nine.

Don’t mind getting your hands dirty in the name of filling your belly? There’s plenty to pick up and run with at Northern Quarter hangout Cane & Grain – its slogan is ‘rib joint & tap room’, after all.

Caribbean vibes and Caribbean flavours are big at Pull Up at the top end of the Northern Quarter, where atmosphere and authenticity are key words and you will leave fit to burst, especially if you try tackling the famous Hench Box all on your lonesome.

Wingstop started life as a small chicken wing restaurant in Garland, Texas before spreading its wings across North America and then, the world.

We’d rather see a restaurant that does one thing well than one that does a wide variety of dishes to the same average standard. Yard & Coop Manchester is firmly in the former category. It serves buttermilk fried chicken and that’s about it, unless you’re a veggie in which case you can have halloumi instead.
