Winging it — 09/18/2025

A HIPPO cover with chicken wings and a dipping sauce with the words WINGING IT above

On the cover

Whatever sports you’re watching this season, they will probably go well with wings — that few-bite, sometimes spicy, sometimes saucy chicken dish that makes a great meal for a few or appetizer for a crowd. John Fladd finds out about what makes a good serving of wings.

Also on the cover: Speaking of food that’s great for a crowd, it’s Glendi weekend, when Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Manchester offers a spread of gyros, lamb, pastries and more (see page 23). Or go for a selection of beers at the Manchester Brewfest (page 24).
