Annual WingOut Festival Returns to Chicago For Another Year

There are very few things that I can eat multiple times in a week but one of them is chicken wings. There is something about the breaded skin, the juicy meat, and the succulent sauce that keeps me coming back. I am more of a buffalo, hot honey, spicy garlic kind of wing guy but I'm not opposed to other flavors either, just make sure they aren't slimy. Nighttime clubs still have the best wings I have ever tasted, next level wizardry going on in that kitchen.

Almost every restaurant has chicken wings on their menu somewhere whether they be boneless or traditional. Then there are restaurants whose sole purpose is to sell chicken and wings are 1000% included. What if I told you, there was an event taking place that will allow you to try tens if not hundreds of different wings from different places all at once? Well, the WingOut festival in Chicago is your wildest wing dreams coming to life as Wrigleyville will be packed with wing lovers.
