The wings are, without a doubt, the star of the show at Chicken Licks. Many patrons rave about the dry rub that adds a delightful kick to the crispy chicken.

Most Disliked
While Chicken Licks is highly regarded, some feedback highlights that service can be slow during peak times, especially at the bar. There are mentions of bartenders being occupied with conversations rather than attending to drink orders. This can affect the overall experience, especially on busy nights when quick service is desired.
A few patrons have noted that the interior can feel a bit dark and cramped, which may not suit everyone's taste. While it adds to the dive bar vibe, those looking for bright and airy spaces might feel somewhat restricted. Furthermore, during the busiest hours, it can be challenging to find seating, skewing towards a more crowded experience that might detract from a relaxed dining outing.

Had been hearing about this place in the Madison foodie group and decided to stop. BEST wings ever! We tried the dry rub with the house made blue cheese. Of course we had to spice it up with some buffalo sauce! 10/10. I’m usually not much of a wing person. We also ordered the onion ring and Cole slaw (not pictured) yummmmmmm.. Drinks were cold, prices were affordable (rare now) and service was great. We will be back soon!

Perfect dive bar setting with fantastic food. They have a large bar and lots of seating. The service at the bar, however, was quite slow. The bartender was chatting with friends more than working, but, overall, this is a great place for food and drinks. Servers would be a huge help, but likely keep the costs lower without them. Highly recommend!

The food is so delicious. The dry rub wings are some of the best I’ve ever had!

Best wings in Wisconsin right here. Bonus if you like spicy and can customize spice level to your liking.

The dry rub is awesome - we had it on wings and tots - both exactly what we were hoping for in a roadside chicken shack. They had great drink options as well! A bit dark and stuffed inside, but honestly it adds to the entire vibe of the place.
