National Chicken Wing Day 2024
July 28, 2024
Every year on July 29, National Chicken Wing Day is celebrated across the United States.
According to the official website of Nationalchickenwingday.com, chicken wings, which have also been regularly called Buffalo wings, began their rise in Buffalo, New York. This part of the U.S. is where a woman named Teressa Bellissimo created them in 1964 during her time at Anchor Bar.
To achieve what has become known as the modern-day chicken wing, she deep-fried chicken wings and tossed them in butter and hot sauce. Normally, chicken wings were only being used for soups. Upon serving her new recipe, her new dish quickly became popular.
Meanwhile, another restaurant, John Young’s Wings鈥檔 Things, had already been serving a similar yet original recipe of breaded wings with a tomato-based sauce since 1963.
The Anchor Bar’s version gained a bit more traction by inspiring other local restaurants, which resulted in Buffalo celebrating Chicken Wing Day on July 29 along the way. This celebration is to recognize Buffalo City’s surprising intake of thousands of pounds of wings each week.
For National Chicken Wing Day 2024, numerous restaurants are offering special promotions and deals.
For starters, Buffalo Wild Wings is offering six free wings for patrons who dine in and spend at least $10 today, according to USA Today.
7-Eleven is also offering a special promo for National Wing Day with their BOGO wing deals. Limited to one customer per day, a patron can buy a five-piece Bone-In Wings and get another five-piece order free. Patrons can also buy an eight-piece Boneless Wings and get a free eight-piece of the same order. This Wing Day deal is available at participating Speedway and Stripes stores as well.
Applebee’s is also taking part in celebrating National Chicken Wing Day by offering a special offer for to-go or delivery orders. Customers who purchase one order of either Boneless Wings or Classic Bone-In Wings will receive a second order free by using promo code WINGDAY24 on Applebee鈥檚 website or mobile app.
