Boneless Wing Fling

Finn McCool's proves its hot sauce is hot stuff

We're all guilty of it because sometimes we just can't help ourselves.

Sure, we'd like to be able to say we always order the grilled chicken salad with low-fat dressing. But sometimes we just need to pig out on something spicy, greasy or cheesy.

Food that fits those categories isn't normally hard to find, either. Every bar, pub, inn or restaurant provides some sort of fried food or something smothered in hot sauce, giving the weak-willed among us a place to gorge ourselves when we give in to temptation.

For us, there's nothing better than a plate of good wings coupled with a sandwich of some sort to fill our bellies on a cold winter evening.

If South Scranton is your destination, the first place that comes to mind when you hear the word "wings" has to be Kelly's Pub & Eatery. But what you might not know is a few blocks away on Cedar Avenue sits a place with a savory wing sauce worth trying out.

Finn McCool's boasts a tangy taste to its spiced up chicken wings that you're sure to love. We decided to try the boneless variety and the only problem we found was that they were gone in a flash. Apparently a plateful of these bite-sized delights aren't enough to satisfy our cravings.

Fortunately, we were wise enough to couple the wings with a cheese steak wrap to keep us from ordering a second plate of chicken heaven. Since we don't care for ketchup, we saved half the wrap to help smother in the leftover wing sauce and it turned out to be a wise move.

If we hadn't made that choice, the rest of the patrons may have been forced to watch us lap up the remaining sauce straight from the plate. Yes, we have no shame when it comes to wing sauce.
