ORLANDO, Fla. — National Chicken Wing Day is here once again!
The holiday, which began in 1977 when Buffalo, New York mayor Stan Makowski coined July 29 as a celebration of the “thousands of pounds of chicken wings [that] are consumed by Buffalonians ... throughout the city each week,” has since become a nationwide event. And some of the best deals and meals are right here in Orlando.
