A New York restaurateur hopes to strike gold with foodies by elevating the chicken wing by dressing it up in the shimmering precious metal. Two Manhattan locations of “The Ainstworth” are now selling 24-karat gold dusted chicken wings, which adds “the right touch” to the beloved bar food staple, said owner Brian Mazza. Despite its extravagant exterior, the preparation of the wings is rather conventional, involving brining, frying and tossing it in a honey-chipotle sauce. “After that process then our chef has the magic touch and then puts the gold on,” Mazza explained. An Instagram-worthy snap of the glittery wings doesn’t come cheap. The bar sells 10 wings for $45, 20 wings for $90 at its Chelsea and East Village Locations.
