National Chicken Wing Day PDX

Today is apparently National Chicken Wing Day. I know this because my sister told me so, and I’m still looking for the all-encompassing food holiday calendar out there. Here are my picks for some places in Portland to get your National Chicken Wing Day fix on…

Pok Pok’s (various Pok Pok locations throughout Portland, New York and LA) Ike’s Vietnamese Fish Sauce Chicken Wings

Pok Pok Wing at the PDX airport offers Ike's Vietnamese Fish Sauce Chicken Wings  which you can get normal or spicy. You can get a half dozen in a full order, or just 3 wings in a half order of these fresh whole natural chicken wings marinated in fish sauce and sugar, deep fried, and tossed in caramlized Phu Quoo fish sauce and garlic

Mama Chow’s Kitchen Lollipop Wings with the bone exposed nicely to give you a place to hold

Mama Chow's Kitchen justifiably raved about lollipop wings with honey soy garlic glaze with jasmine rice and baby bok choy

Fire On The Mountain classic selection of buckets of wings and a dozen possible sauces plus rotating new sauces that they will add… and they even have vegetarian wings. Some people complain the wings can be a little skinny, but I always point out that FOTM uses free range chicken, not doped up chicken.

My favorite in town, PaaDee Thai Peek gai tod, fried wings glazed in Sriracha fish sauce. If you come here, you must get this, happy hour or not.
