Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late-night snack are all appropriate times to smash a few wings. Here in America, we REALLY like our wings.

Jimmy Jack's Rib Shack

According to Cheapism, the best wings in the state of Iowa are found at Jimmy Jack's Rib Shack in Iowa City. Jimmy Jack's takes a BBQ approach to their wings as they are smoked over hickory for 2 and a half hours. After they are ordered, they are then fried.

You have 4 choices of sauce to choose from and the article recommends the bold and tangy original BBQ.

According to the Jimmy Jack's menu, you could also order some sauce on the side. You can choose between the Chicago Fire - a little sweet & a little heat, the Cowboy - sweet and smoky, or Carolina Mustard - putting honey mustard to shame. If you would like to try some of Jimmy Jack's sauces or rubs at home, you can purchase them on their website.
