Entry 23: Buffalo Wing Bonanza Begins! Stop 2: Big Kahuna Wings - Knoxville TN

The second stop on an unforgettable road trip with my longtime friend @BigRayinBA kicked off what I’m now calling our Buffalo Wing Bonanza!

Spoiler alert: we do eventually make it to Buffalo, NY—but first, we stopped in Knoxville, Tennessee to try a top-rated local spot that lived up to the hype.

Wings Worth the Exit

We made a quick hop off the highway to Big Kahuna Wings (BKW)—known locally for its creative wing approach and house-blend seasoning. The wings come fried and dusted, and you choose your own dipping sauces. I tried:

• Spicy Garlic – bold and flavorful, easily my favorite

• Smoking Chipotle – smoky with just enough heat

Truthfully? The wings were good enough to eat without any sauce at all. Crispy outside, juicy inside—BKW nails the texture and taste.

Friends + Food = Road Trip Gold

There’s something perfect about great wings and road trip vibes with your best friend. This was just the beginning, and we’ve got plenty more wing stops ahead—stay tuned for more updates from the road!
