Get ready for all the sauced, seasoned and dry-rubbed wings you can eat with the return of Cincinnati Wing Week Aug. 18-24.

Over 50 restaurants across the Greater Cincinnati area will be offering $8 wing deals in honor of the week, with flavors spanning from classic buffalo sauce to Korean BBQ.

“Cincinnati Wing Week is about flavor, fun and fueling support for the city’s incredible food scene,” said MK McGuire, event manager at CityBeat Events. “We’re excited to bring even more restaurants, more wings, and more chances to win prizes this year.”

To prepare for Wing Week, you can download the official app. The app will allow you to track the wings you’ve tried and check in to participating restaurants, earning you points. At the end of the week, the diner with the most check-ins will win $500 in local restaurant gift cards.

You can get a head start on celebrating Wing Week with the Wing Week Kickoff Party at the Sam Adams Taproom (1727 Logan St., Over-the-Rhine) on Wednesday, Aug. 13 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. The party will include exclusive wings specials, beer and giveaways. You can earn bonus points toward the Wing Week check-in contest and potentially win prizes and tickets by attending.
