This time of year, as the leaves fall from the trees and the Bears start off the season on the right foot, it’s time you get your own act together and finally nab that spot in the “Chicken-wing making Hall of Fame.” You may be qualified in making wings disappear, but your wing-making lacks panache? Attend the complimentary “How to Cook the Perfect Chicken Wing” class, hosted by Stretch Run Sporting Club and Grille, and you’ll surely score points with your pals on game day. With pen in one hand and poultry in the other, you’ll learn everything from the history of the popular party snack to making taste-tantalizing sauce. If you can take the heat, get in the kitchen October 14, 6pm to 9pm. R.S.V.P. required. Stretch Run, 544 N LaSalle, 312-644-4477.
