| - While visiting friends in Sun Prairie/Madison, I got dragged to Chicken Lips. Not until I arrived did I realize that I surprisingly had the joint bookmarked---solely off of the stellar Yelp reviews causing it to pop up as one of Madison's best. *embarrassed*
Chicken Lips is literally just a minute or so drive outside of Sun Prairie's downtown on the side of a road among cornfields. I don't know if I would consider it a restaurant. It's more of a bar run out of a dude's (named Steve) first floor of his two-story house. Think "Man Cave" or "Bachelor Pad" lacking any luxury, where "boys can be boys." There are TVs, a pool table, arcade games, a side door that opens up to a tent for smokers, some nasty piss-ridden bathrooms. If only Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives actually visited true dives, this is what I'd picture, except they only specialize in chicken wings, not much else... There's a bulletin menu at the bar, which is where you also order. As someone who is not a fan of spice and on a non-fried food cleanse diet, I became 'that' guy that the neighboring table of 30-somethings picked on. They kept reminding me while in their drunk stupor, "You gotta get the wings." I still ended up ordering a burger which was not very enjoyable and overcooked. Nonetheless, the rest of my party ordered the infamous Wings. You get your choice of Dry Rub (what it's all about: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chicken-lips-sun-prairie?select=xOFL05ID2XQU28ycv_wtzQ#NgrDOJ2ui4MlKh1-IVnOYg) or Original "Buffalo" wings. Both come with a tasty side of homemade blue cheese dressing dip. I could eat the entire cup of dip with just carrots and celery simple due to the fact that is has chunks of blue cheese hidden up in there! Of course, I reminded myself, "When in Sun Prairie, do as a Wisconsiner would" and bit into each type of wing. Without the dressing, the dry wings were admittedly the best wings I have ever had---freshly fried, full of meat, and extremely tasty. Can't say I'd be back, if so it would definitely be take-out since I'm too prissy for a dive like this. I will concur, the word on the street is right, they cook up some killer chicken wings!
Note: Before you leave, be sure to take a moment to absorb the glory of the bar and grill's name "CHICKEN LIPS" and the light-up sign picturing a rooster holding a martini: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chicken-lips-sun-prairie?select=xOFL05ID2XQU28ycv_wtzQ#xOFL05ID2XQU28ycv_wtzQ. This is one place you would never find a martini glass, or even be seen with one in your hand...
