Whether you’re watching a game or just hanging out with friends, wings are the perfect food. South Carolina has plenty of excellent choices when it comes to wings, but this local chain is one of the best.

Two South Carolina alumni opened Kickin’ Chicken in 1997, and the restaurant was such a hit that they’ve expanded to five restaurants and a food truck.
