Atomic Wings is a fast-casual chicken concept centered on hot wings and related menu items served for dine-in, takeout, and delivery. The brand highlights ingredient standards such as all-natural, antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken, paired with signature sauces that include many gluten-free options.

The concept was conceived in 1981 by its founder, Adam, inspired by the style of wings he enjoyed in Buffalo, New York. From that origin, Atomic Wings developed its recipes and cooking process and later expanded into a standardized system for franchised restaurants operating under the Atomic Wings name and brand standards.
