International Chicken Wing Day was introduced by the mayor of Buffalo, New York, in 1977 – shortly after the popular Buffalo Chicken Wing had its big break and became a hit throughout the States. During every Labor Day weekend since 2002, wing lovers from all 50 states have congregated in downtown Buffalo to pay homage to and eat lots of their favorite food at the National Buffalo Wing Festival.
These days, chicken wings are available all over the world, in an abundance of varieties. It's hard to believe there was actually a time and place where wings were not on the menu.
