The Wing Guru

The Wing Guru is Millington's premier destination for award-winning chicken wings, serving up 21 unique flavors that have earned national recognition. Founded by Billy Richmond Jr., who began perfecting his craft at just 9 years old, this Memphis-area institution has grown from a single location in 2016 to five thriving restaurants across the region. The restaurant achieved instant fame by winning the Orange Park statewide hot wing festival grand championship in Florida, and was subsequently named the #6 hot wing restaurant by wing experts nationwide. Signature offerings include the now world-famous Honey Suicide sauce, which took home the most creative sauce award at the Santa Anita hot wing cook-off, alongside Garlic Sriracha, Lemon Pepper Hot, and the Triple J—a collaboration with Memphis Grizzlies power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. The menu extends beyond wings to include non-sauced wings and crispy fried catfish. Located at 8253 US-51 in Millington, The Wing Guru offers military personnel, University of Memphis students, and FedEx employees exclusive discounts. The restaurant operates as the official Chicken Wing partner of the University of Memphis, reflecting founder Billy's collegiate background at Vanderbilt and the University of Memphis.
