    About Wing Zone

    Join Wing Zone!
    Here's your opportunity to join WingZone, one of the nation's fastest-growing takeout/delivery chains. The Wing Zone concept was launched in 1991 in the most unlikely setting, a fraternity house kitchen. Despite Wing Zone's humble birth, the core idea targeted a pressing need in the marketplace: to serve high-quality, cooked to order food, available for takeout, delivery and dine-in. Today, this simple idea has become one of the hottest franchise opportunities around, having grown to nearly 100 restaurants.
     Matt Friedman and Adam Scott conceived Wing Zone while at the University of Florida due to a dilemma they faced - there was no alternative to pizza delivery for students studying late or suffering from the late night hunger. To fill this void, Matt and Adam developed the Wing Zone concept and quickly expanded it into a great business opportunity. The Wing Zone menu has grown over the years beyond just buffalo wings. It now includes chicken fingers, buffalo shrimp, half-pound burgers, chicken sandwiches and fresh salads. A key ingredient to Wing Zone's success is unchanged - its 25 signature sauces. While Wing Zone is proud of its past, the company is focused on the future. Wing Zone is currently seeking franchise partners to help make Wing Zone the leading franchise opportunity with single, multi-unit, and area development opportunities available in many areas across the nation.

    The Chickery began with a desire to collaborate our favorite chicken recipes. However, upon testing, revising, and formulating recipes, we found that were doing endless research to discover the best way to prep, cook, and grill our chicken. What we found through endless Google searches was that everyone has their own "best way” to prepare and cook various chicken dishes. When it came to grilling there were many recipes, grilling methods, and even grills that seemed to fall short. When we started out with this idea to create a site dedicated to chicken recipes we really had no idea what we were doing as it relates to the culinary of chicken, we just knew we loved to eat it.Today we understand so much more about what it takes to yield the perfect chicken strip, or how to smoke a delicious Thanksgiving turkey. This was our inspiration for the site you see today.
