At first, I thought that maybe it was still a Rona-inspired supply chain issue, but that's long gone, I bought my wings for $5 a pound at Big Y last week. I did a quick scan online for '2023 chicken wing festival' + Connecticut, and the results were disappointing. We've put a lot of different events over the years, but those were two of my favorites.
It was such a great way to sample different cooking methods and flavors all in one place. If you went to our events in 2015-2016, $20 got you a wing from 15-20 different restaurants in the area. I bought three pounds of chicken wings since, and I can't stop dreaming about them.
A recent encounter with Brookfield's JJ Stacks' garlic parm wings at the Danbury San Gennaro Festival has reignited my wingy-thirst. I don't think about the Roman Empire once a week, but I do think about chicken wings every day.
