The Tasty History of National Chicken Wing Day
National Chicken Wing Day has its roots in the city that made the dish famous — Buffalo, New York. Though chicken wings were once considered scraps used for stock or discarded entirely, that changed forever in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo.
According to legend, co-owner Teressa Bellissimo created the first Buffalo wings when she deep-fried some leftover wings for her son and his friends late one night. She tossed them in a homemade hot sauce and served them with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing. The result? An instant hit. The snack quickly gained popularity in bars and restaurants across Buffalo before spreading nationwide.
Recognizing its cultural and culinary impact, the city of Buffalo officially declared July 29 as National Chicken Wing Day in 1977. The declaration came from then-Mayor Stan Makowski as a tribute to the dish that put Buffalo on the food map. Since then, wing lovers across the U.S. have celebrated the day with enthusiasm, and restaurants have joined in with promotions, contests, and of course — free wings.
Today, chicken wings have transcended their humble beginnings. They’ve become a game-day staple, a party favorite, and even a point of culinary creativity with countless flavor options ranging from classic hot to honey BBQ, lemon pepper, mango habanero, garlic parmesan, and beyond.
