## Story

An estimated 28 billion traditional bone-in chicken wings are expected to be eaten in 2016, according to the National Chicken Council. Some 1.3 billion are eaten during Super Bowl Sunday, alone.

Whether you like your wings hot or slathered in BBQ sauce, here’s a round-up of where you can celebrate National Wing Day.

**Wing Zone**

According to an article in The Daily News, Wing Zone has some suggestions on how to make the day delicious. Wing Zone offers a unique flavor combination in their Sweet Samurai wings, which they suggest frying for just under 10 minutes until crisp to perfection. The chef also recommends tossing the wings until they’re covered in sauce and serving them piping hot.

**Buffalo Wings & Rings**

Today, National Wing Day, marks the kickoff of Buffalo Wings & Rings Month. Chef Elliot Jablonsky appeared on Fox 19 in Cincinnati, Ohio to showcase the brand’s newest addition to their mouthwatering wing lineup: Nashville Hot.

**Slim Chickens**

Slim Chickens Operating Partner Mo Yeganeh visited WDAF in Kansas City to talk about a variety of the brand’s wing sauces, basic ingredients, heat levels and pairing options. He also helped to facilitate a wing eating contest between the anchors.
