Chicken wing

Did you know that chicken wings have a long and storied history? That’s right – these delicious little bites have been around for centuries, and their popularity is only increasing. Let’s take a look at the history of chicken wings and some of the most popular recipes today.

Chicken wings were first introduced to the United States by Chinese immigrants in the 1800s. However, they didn’t gain widespread popularity until the mid-20th century.
