Where did National Chicken Wing Day come from?

In 1964, bar co-owner, Teresa Belissimo, was trying to make a late-night snack for her son and his friends at Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York. She cooked up some leftover chicken wings in hot sauce. They were so loved that the bar put them on the menu the very next day. They were served with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks to cut the heat. And the rest, as they say, is history

The Mayor of Buffalo, New York called for Chicken Wing Day to be started in 1977, and the celebration has grown into an international event since then.
