Young Joni Chicken Wings Price

Young Joni Chicken Wings are prepared with a spicy piri piri sauce, then balanced with a cooling aji verde and fresh cilantro. The wings are cooked in the restaurant's wood-fired oven, giving them a smoky char and crisp skin. This combination of the fiery piri piri and the creamy, herbaceous aji verde creates a complex flavor that is both spicy and tangy. The Young Joni Chicken Wings costs $18.

Young Joni Chicken Wings can be compared to traditional American Buffalo wings, such as those served at Minneapolis favorite Runyon's. American Buffalo wings rely on a vinegar-based cayenne pepper sauce. Young Joni's version gets its heat from the African bird's eye chili in the piri piri sauce. The wings' spicy and zesty flavor pairs well with a crisp lager or a hoppy IPA to cleanse the palate. A dry white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc, also complements the herbaceous notes of the aji verde sauce.

Young Joni Chicken Wings feature sauces with international origins. Piri piri is a spicy sauce with roots in Portuguese and Southern African food traditions, made from the African bird's eye chili. Aji verde is a Peruvian green sauce that includes cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, and mayonnaise. Patrons should note the restaurant is scheduled to close on September 14, 2025.
