January 29 is National Chicken Wing Day and many restaurants throughout the U.S. are offering specials to entice customers.

There is also good news for those intending to make their own wings: According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the price for a pound of bone-in wings is $7.43, a 12-cent drop from a year ago. Boneless wings are $5.49 per pound, a $1.84 drop from a year ago.

According to the National Chicken Council, the concept of deep frying chicken wings has long been part of Southern cuisine, but the modern “Buffalo” wing was not invented until 1964. That’s when the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, began putting hot sauce on leftover chicken wings.

The wings became an instant hit and other restaurants in Buffalo began serving similar dishes.

Buffalo Mayor Stan Makowski declared July 29, 1977, Wing Day in the city.

Thirty-seven years later, we can celebrate the day by enjoying free or discounted wings at the following joints:

Applebees: Buy one order of wings online and get an order for free using code WINGDAY24
