It's not a great deal compared to what things used to be like, but the Hop Knot in Portland has fantastic wings for what you pay - which is closer to the $1 per wing price point. That being said, there's a place by me in Hamden charging over $15 for a dozen, so it could be worse.

If you've been to a Hop Knot, don't get discouraged by the pretzel themed menu - they absorbed the White Dog Cafe and kept the wings from that menu because of how good they were.

yeah around $1 per is about the best I've seen so far, one place has 24 for $24 from 2-4, I guess..

Because of a few factors (avian flu, feed prices), chicken wings are extremely expensive right now. They used to be so cheap they were a loss leader, but the bars can't do that anymore. Maybe once chicken prices stabilize they can go back to those promotions. But I second Bidwell and also recommend Shea's in Manchester.

Yeah I'm figuring it must be bad on their end right now, the average price is probably around $1.50 each, it's nuts.

For sure. The restaurants aren't happy about it. Wings were a good way to bring in people who will spend money on beer after some spicy wings, but they'd be better off discounting the beer at this point.

However, I do hope you have a nice birthday and get some tasty wings!!

Thanks! Found a nice place up in Springfield that looks like just the kind of thing I'm after - edited the main post if you're interested
