Various US food service companies have launched seasonal promotions centered on chicken wings to coincide with the start of the football season.

KFC introduced a digital promotion offering a free 10-piece bucket of Double Crispy Hot Wings and two sauces with digital orders of at least $15 for KFC Rewards members. This initiative was positioned as having “no limited spots” to compete with other quick-service chains. 

Golden Corral also introduced seasonal offerings, reintroducing all-you-can-eat bone-in Buffalo wings and new boneless Buffalo bites to its buffet lineup. Additionally, the company launched a ‘To Go’ promotion through October 18, allowing customers to purchase 25 bone-in wings or 50 boneless bites for $25 via the company website or mobile app.
