Mowgli is giving chicken wing lovers a very good reason to abandon sensible midweek plans, with a one-night-only giveaway of free wings across all of its restaurants.
A Free Wing Giveaway Worth Arriving Early For
To mark the launch of its new menu, Mowgli Street Food is handing out complimentary portions of chicken wings on Wednesday, 20 May from 6 pm.
Each Mowgli restaurant will offer 100 guests a free portion, with 2,600 portions available across the group. Considering they usually cost around £9.50 per serving, this is not a bad return for anyone whose love language involves spice, glaze and a dangerously sticky napkin.
There is one catch, though it is hardly a brutal one. Guests need to buy one additional menu item or drink to take part. The offer is first-come, first-served, which means this is not the evening to stroll in at half-past whenever with the confidence of a man who has never met a queue.
For wing devotees, the message is fairly simple: get there early, order something, and try not to look too smug when the plate lands.
Three New Wing Flavours Built For Proper Wing Fans
The new Mowgli wings come in three flavours, each taking a different route to the same destination: fingers glazed, lips tingling, dignity slightly compromised.
Sticky Wings are coated in a richly spiced treacle molasses glaze. They are sweet, deep and indulgent, with the sort of shine that suggests you should probably stop talking and start eating.
Gunpowder Wings take a brighter, punchier path. They are golden fried, tossed in chat masala, then finished with red onion and fresh coriander. Expect crunch, spice and that familiar Mowgli lift that keeps the whole thing fresh rather than heavy.
Bengali Hot Wings bring chilli and masala into play, building a slower heat that lingers. Not a theatrical fire-breathing exercise, but enough warmth to remind you that these wings have not turned up merely to make up the numbers.
Each portion includes eight wings. Technically, that is generous enough to share. Emotionally, spiritually and legally, you may wish to order with caution.
Why Wing Lovers Should Pay Attention
Chicken wings are easy to get wrong. Too dry and they become homework. Too wet and they need their own drainage system. Too timid and you wonder why anyone bothered.
Mowgli’s take looks more promising because it leans into the restaurant’s greatest strength: Indian street food-style flavour that is layered rather than lazy. The treacle molasses glaze gives the Sticky Wings depth. The chat masala brings lift to the Gunpowder Wings. The Bengali Hot Wings offer heat with a bit of patience and menace.
It is a clever move for a seasonal menu launch. Wings are informal, social and just chaotic enough to make dinner feel like an event rather than an appointment. They also suit Mowgli’s table-sharing style, assuming everyone at the table has similar moral standards around the final piece.
Cocktails To Cool Things Down
The new menu is joined by a refreshed cocktail list designed with the season in mind.
A Hugo Spritz brings together elderflower liqueur, prosecco, soda, mint and lemon for something light, floral and fresh. For those who prefer their glass with a little more bite, the classic Negroni adds a bittersweet edge.
Mowgli favourites including the Passionfruit Martini and Aperol Spritz remain part of the line-up, giving guests plenty of ways to balance spice, sweetness and that inevitable moment when someone says, “These Bengali Hot Wings have a bit of a kick, don’t they?”
How To Get The Free Mowgli Wings
The Mowgli Wing Giveaway takes place on Wednesday, 20 May from 6 pm at all Mowgli locations.
To claim a complimentary portion, guests must purchase one additional menu item or drink. There are 100 free portions available per restaurant, and the offer is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

For anyone serious about wings, this is a midweek mission with very little downside. Turn up early, bring someone trustworthy, and remember: the last wing on the plate reveals more about a person than years of conversation ever could.
