Somewhere along the line, America decided chicken wings deserved their own national holiday. We are not going to argue with that. We are going to sauce it, double-fry it, and cut the price in half.
Here is what makes Wing Day at EJ’s different from wing day anywhere else in the Fox Valley: our wings are not an afterthought from a freezer bag. They get brined first, so the meat stays juicy all the way to the bone. Then they get fried twice, which is how you get that crackle you can hear from the next table over. Then they meet a sauce lineup that Chef Hef has fussed over the way some people fuss over fantasy lineups.
On Wednesday, July 29, every one of those wings is half off. All day. No fine print scavenger hunt, no secret password, no “with purchase of” anything. Walk in, order wings, pay half.
every wing on the menu, open to close, on National Chicken Wing Day. The math has never been this easy and the wings have never been this good.
The Flavor Lineup, In Full
Half off applies across the board, which means July 29 is the day to order the flight you have been meaning to try:
Classic Buffalo. The standard, done properly. Heat, butter, tang, and a glisten you can see from across the room.
Mild. All the flavor, none of the sweat. The one the kids fight over.
BBQ. Sticky, smoky, and gone before the celery even gets touched.
Nashville Hot. For the friend who says nothing is ever spicy enough. This will be enough.
Calabrian Chili Chimichurri. The house special: garlic, herbs, and Calabrian chili doing things to a chicken wing that would make Nashville jealous. If you only try one new flavor on Wing Day, make it this one.
Not a wing person? First, we admire your honesty. Second, there is a veggie falafel option that gets the same sauce treatment, so nobody sits out Wing Day on a technicality.
That Is the Whole Secret, and It Works.

How to Win Wing Day
Reserve a Table
Half-off wings and a 22-foot LED wall bring a crowd. Grab a Resy so your only decision is which sauce goes first.
Order in Rounds
At half price, the move is rounds: start Buffalo, go Chimichurri, settle the BBQ versus Nashville Hot debate at the table.
Pace the Ranch
Rookies run out of ranch by round two. Veterans ask for extra up front. You know which one you want to be.
Make a Night of It, Fox Valley
Wing Day lands on a Wednesday, which might be the best possible news. The room is loud in the right ways, the 22-foot LED wall has the game up, and the whole scratch-made menu is riding shotgun: smashburgers from a special blend made exclusively for Simple EJ’s, the 24-ounce Tomahawk Pork Chop for the table showoff, and our house Simple Sauce standing by for anything that needs dragging through it.
Families, this one is built for you too. Simple EJ’s is family friendly by default, and half-off Mild wings at 5pm is the rare dinner plan that pleases a nine year old and a forty year old at the same time. After 8pm, Charlie puts the kids to bed and the grown-ups get the good seats.
