When you think of Super Bowl snacks, Buffalo wings are likely at the top of the list. But have you ever wondered why these spicy, saucy wings became a game-day staple? The connection between Buffalo wings and football actually took off in the early 1990s—thanks to the Buffalo Bills.
From 1991 to 1994, the Buffalo Bills made history by appearing in four consecutive Super Bowls. During this time, media coverage frequently highlighted the team’s hometown pride, including its iconic regional food: Buffalo chicken wings. As a result, wing consumption skyrocketed, and they became forever linked to football culture.
Their popularity makes perfect sense—wings are easy to share, packed with flavor, and pair perfectly with a cold beer. Today, Americans consume over 1.4 billion wings on Super Bowl Sunday alone!
