Buffalo Wings Were Actually A Mistake
It is a little crazy to think about now, especially considering how much we all love chicken wings, but the original buffalo wing was actually a mistake, according to a story from Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. When the establishment received chicken wings instead of chicken necks, serving chicken wings with sauce was suddenly born. It is believed that Frank’s Red Hot was the sauce that was used on this first ever batch of wings.
Chicken Wing Day Was Started in Buffalo, NY
Buffalo, NY is known for being the capital of chicken wings, thanks to the Anchor Bar, and buffalo wings even grew in popularity thanks to the NFL team the Buffalo Bills. The city took their love of chicken wings even farther in 1977 when the mayor of Buffalo proclaimed that July 29th was official National Chicken Wing Day. Clearly, we still celebrate the holiday today.
There is an Annual Wing Bowl
At the annual Wing Bowl, chicken wing lovers compete to see who can devour the most wings in a sitting. In the 2015 Wing Bowl, the record was set when Patrick Bertoletti ate 444 wings at the competition. That year another record was set when the runner up, Molly Schuyler came in second, eating 440 wings and setting the record for females. Talk about a love of chicken wings.
Ranch is Actually the Most Popular Dipping Sauce
Chances are when you talk to any wing lover, they will have a firm stance on which dipping sauce is the best. However, for those who are in it for the ranch vs. bleu cheese debate—ranch is actually the most popular, with bleu cheese coming in second.
Super Bowl Sunday is HUGE for Chicken Wings
In case you already didn’t know, chicken wings are the perfect treat for Super Bowl Sunday. Football fans take their love of chicken wings seriously too. It is estimated that Americans eat around 1.25 billion wings on Super Bowl Sunday a year every year. That is a whole lot of chicken.
