5 Restaurants Across Canada Offering Wings

Did you know that Buffalo Wings were born in 1964 when a bar owner in Buffalo cooked leftover chicken drumsticks in Frank’s RedHot® Sauce as a late-night snack? Or that Canadians consumed an estimated 75 million chicken wings during Super Bowl 2020?

With there being such a variety of ways to cook and flavour chicken wings, everyone knows that the popular dish is always customizable to one’s individual tastes and occasions. From spicy to tangy, mild to flaming hot, and even plain, chicken wings have become an in-demand food that Canadians can’t get enough of.

Plus, with shows like Hot Ones enticing consumers to push their spice threshold, it’s clear to see that the wing is here to stay.

Always there to enhance the wings experience on this long-time flavour journey is the OG of hot sauce, Frank’s RedHot®. Blending cayenne peppers with 4 other simple ingredients for unapologetically tasty food since 1918, Frank’s has not only been integrated into wing history, they practically invented buffalo wings.

And because every wing needs a beverage to complement it on the way down, Pepsi is the perfect bold and refreshing pairing, no matter your wing flavour.

So, this #WingDay, put the cutlery down and get your fingers messy by choosing to order in delicious chicken wings prepared to perfection by a local restaurant or bar.
