The period from the Fourth of July until Labor Day is one America’s longest holiday dead zones — that is, assuming you like your holidays dictated by the federal government. But thankfully, in 1977, Buffalo Mayor Stan Makowski stepped in (let’s hear it for local government!) and dedicated July 29 to something far more exciting than independence or working: Buffalo wings!

Today is National Chicken Wing Day, and as such, many of America best-known wing chains are offering deals that can help take the edge off your Monday. Here are some we’ve seen:

Big City Wings

Wings are just 70 cents all day at this Houston area chain.

The Buffalo Spot

It’s a wing happy hour: Get five free traditional wings from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Buffalo Wild Wings

The sporty chain is giving away a free snack size portion of wings with the purchase of another wing order — be it small, medium, or large; traditional or boneless. Dine-in only.

Duffy’s Sports Grill

Get 50 percent off ten Boneless Wings with another purchase.

East Coast Wings + Grill

Buy at least five wings and bone-in wings will cost you 75 cents, boneless wings will be 65 cents.

Epic Wings-N-Things

This California-based chain added “Epic” to its name last year, and their straightforward deal fits that mold: Buy one single meal, get a second one 50-percent off.

Hooters

The bigger your appetite, the better this deal is: Participating Hooters locations are offering all-you-can-eat wings for just $15.99. The deal is for dine-in only, but customers can choose from six varieties of wings: Original-Style Wings, Naked Wings, Boneless Wings, Smoked Wings, Daytona Beach-Style Wings, or Bacon Wrapped Wings.
