Whether you make them an appetizer or a meal, chicken wings are the bomb. And there’s a special day to celebrate the dish: National Chicken Wing Day on Monday.
National Chicken Wing Day began in 1977, when then-mayor of Buffalo, New York Stan Makowski, proclaimed July 29 as a day to celebrate Buffalo wings.
These days, it’s not just Buffalo wings Americans devour by the billions annually. Americans had 1.3 billion servings of chicken wings in the 12 months ending June 2024, according to research firm Circana CREST tracking data. That’s up 5% from the previous 12 months.
Here’s a roundup of deals on the popular side dish – or meal – depending on your appetite. Remember, check social media accounts of your local restaurants for deals, too.
