At The Ainsworth in New York, chicken wing fans can indulge in a truly extravagant treat: wings dusted with 24-carat edible gold leaf. This opulent addition turns classic bar food into a luxury experience, though gold's volatile price keeps things exciting.
These wings are crafted traditionally—brined for 12 hours, coated in a house-made marinade, then baked and fried to crispy perfection.
The standout feature? A delicate dusting of edible gold powder that sets them apart from standard wings.
New York City's dining scene is buzzing with gilded indulgences, from gold-flecked pizzas and donuts to shimmering ice cream.
Compared to a $2,000 pizza or $100 donut, these wings offer relative value: $45 (i.e. xx euros) for 10 or $90 (i.e. XX euros) for 20.
For the ultimate feast, pair 50 wings with a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne for $1,000.
Available at two Manhattan locations, The Ainsworth calls them “the most expensive and delicious 24-karat gold wings in the world.”
Would you splurge on these golden wings?
