Every year on July 29, chicken wing enthusiasts across the United States come together to celebrate National Chicken Wing Day. This beloved food holiday pays tribute to the delectable chicken wing, a dish that has become a staple in American cuisine.
The Origins of Chicken Wings
The story of the modern chicken wing begins in Buffalo, New York. In 1964, Teressa Bellissimo of the Anchor Bar created what we now know as Buffalo wings. She deep-fried chicken wings and tossed them in a savory mixture of butter and hot sauce. At the time, chicken wings were typically reserved for making soups, but Bellissimo's new creation quickly gained popularity and changed the culinary landscape.
Interestingly, another restaurant, John Young’s Wings’n Things, had already been serving breaded wings with a tomato-based sauce since 1963. However, it was the Anchor Bar’s version that sparked a local and eventually national craze, leading to Buffalo celebrating Chicken Wing Day on July 29.
