US National Chicken Wing Day promotions

Entities: Whataburger · Wingstop · Dave & Buster’s · St. Louis Bar & Grill · National Chicken Wing Day

Overview

In late July 2026, U.S. restaurant chains launched a wave of limited‑time offers to celebrate National Chicken Wing Day on July 29. The initial rollout highlighted deals such as 99 ¢ wings at Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, kids‑eat‑free promotions at East Coast Wings, a $12 12‑piece wing combo from Popeyes, ten wings for $7 at Hooters, and five‑wing $5 offers from Bonchon. Additional incentives included free wings with a $15 purchase at Buffalo Wild Wings and buy‑one‑get‑one‑free 9‑piece wings for Whataburger rewards members.

A week later, the promotions expanded to include new codes and sweepstakes: free‑wing codes at Buffalo Wild Wings, a five‑wing giveaway with a $10 spend and a Ticketmaster sweepstakes at Wingstop, BOGO offers at Pizza Hub and ZABXYS, and half‑price tender combos at Golden Chick.

On July 29, the day‑long promotions surged across the United States, featuring six free wings with a $15 spend at Buffalo Wild Wings, five free wings with a $10 purchase at Wingstop, 10 wings for $7.29 at Hooters, and $5 jumbo wings on the Pilot app. Canadian chain St. Louis Bar & Grill joined the frenzy with a "Wingsanity" all‑you‑can‑eat offer for $24.99, a Hall of Famished leaderboard and a contest to win free wings for a year, even petitioning for a dedicated flat‑wing emoji. All offers were delivered through loyalty programs, mobile apps, or in‑store promotions, often requiring a minimum purchase or limited to participating locations.
