We have a lot of great restaurants in Connecticut with some really excellent food. Some places have a wide array of choices, a veritable cornucopia of foods, any of which are good options for a meal. Other places may be particularly known for one special item that stands above the rest. One spot that’s definitely in that latter category is J. Timothy’s Taverne. This place has many choices: burgers, salads, chicken tenders, soups, sandwiches…but the one that shines above everything else and results in national acclaim for the restaurant is its chicken wings.

J. Timothy's Taverne is tucked away in Plainville, not far outside of the Connecticut capital. The restaurant is housed in a historic building that was constructed in 1789.

However, do yourself a favor and opt for the chicken wings: you won't regret it. This place sells over 300 tons of chicken wings a year, and all it takes to see why is one taste.

Looking for extra flavor? Opt for "dirt wings." These have been fried and sauced, then fried and sauced again.

Dirt wings are crispier and the caramelization of the sauce results in charring with an especially strong flavor.
You'll be happy with anything you choose from J. Timothy's Taverne, but if you want to get what the place is most famous for, definitely opt for the chicken wings!
