<p><P><P>We eat a lot of amusement park food because, well, it is our job! It is no secret that both <a href="https://twitter.com/DonHelbig" target="_blank">Don Helbig</a> (Kings Island Public Relations Area Manager) and I have an affinity for amazing chicken wings, and we take it seriously! It was only within the last year or so that our world was turned upside down (and not from a roller coaster) when we had our first smoked chicken wings instead of the standard fried version (or worse yet, the baked version). </p>
<p>So we were really excited back in February when Kings Island broke the <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/2017-kings-island-soak-city-island-smokehouse/">news of Island Smokehouse</a> coming to the park and that they would introduce guests to a smoked version of chicken wings. </p>
<p>Kings Island smokes their chicken wings for 2 hours to lock in that smokey flavor. One could stop there and make very happy customers. However, Chef Nate takes it one step further and gives the wings a 30 seconds flash-fry before giving them to the guests. This gives the wings the perfect crispy outside with incredibly tender and smokey chicken inside.</p>

<p>We have tried chicken wings at Cedar Fair amusement parks across the country, and think the Island Smokehouse has taken the crown as best! </p>
<p>While we really enjoyed the chicken wings as is, we also tried them with some of the Island Smokehouse spicy BBQ sauce, and they were incredible!</p>

The smoked wings here were amazing! Best item in the park. We also tired the “smoked wings” at the Chicken Shack at KI and they didn’t even come close. 🤷🏼♀️
