wingoftheday is a community.
Eating a wing of the day is more fun when you actually pay attention to it. Tasting with intention is not fussy - it just means noticing a few things in order, so you can tell why one wing is great and another is merely fine. Here is how.
Four beats of a good wing.
First bite: does the skin crackle, or give softly? Texture is the first thing a great wing gets right.
Next, the flavor: is it balanced, or just hot or just sweet? Does it complement the chicken or bury it?
The wing itself: juicy and well-seasoned to the bone, or dry and bland underneath the sauce?
After you swallow: does it leave you wanting the next one? Crave factor is the truest test of a great wing.
The idea behind wingoftheday is simple: pay attention to one wing at a time and you will taste more, cook better, and know exactly what you like. Come back tomorrow for the next one.
