National Chicken Wings Day 2020: Deals and freebies on the tasty treats

Wednesday is National Chicken Wings Day, and restaurants across the country are offering deals and freebies on the tasty appetizers.

Chicken wings have become an American classic, with a more than 50-year history as an appetizer. The tasty treats are believed to have been created by Teressa Bellissimo, owner of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, in 1964.

The story goes that Bellissimo was asked by her son to make a snack for his friends, and she decided to fry some chicken wings, then toss them with butter and hot sauce. They were a hit, were added to the Anchor Bar menu, and have spread to thousands of menus across the country.

Below are a few deals on wings that will be offered on Wednesday.
