ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Football season has kicked off — when fans and families get together to watch the games (well, mostly Bills)!

Food is almost as important as the game at a watch party. Some staples include nachos, pizza, and — of course — chicken wings!

If you live in the Rochester area and you want to enjoy wings during a game, you’ll want to know what everyone recommends for good wings. According to Yelp, these are the most recommended places in the Rochester area to grab wings:
