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
Mama Chow’s Kitchen Lollipop Wings with the bone exposed nicely to give you a place to hold
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.
Happy Wings Wednesday!
What/where are your favorite chicken wings?
Okay, okay… all my dinner plans have now changed for the evening. How did I know know which day was National Chicken Wing Day! I love chicken wings, but my husband is not a fan because he feels that they are too messy for too little meat! Ha.
And, remind me that I have a book for you that has all kinds of food holidays in it. One for every day of the year! It is just sitting in my bookshelf not used and I feel you would give it a good home!
I’m all about the lollipop wings–not because I’ve tried them (but I bet they are delicious), but because I’m all for ease in food consumption and having a “handle” for your chicken wing is genius!
