Bingo Wings likely originated as a simple joke. Someone would say, “Let’s go bingo!” and someone else would reply, “Wings?” The two would then proceed to have a good laugh. Over time, the joke morphed into something more. Today, Bingo Wings can be found all over the United States, usually at bars or restaurants.
They are usually served with spicy buffalo sauce and celery sticks. The wings are often eaten as an appetizer or main course. Some people believe that the wings were inspired by the harpy eagle, which is known for its powerful wingspan.
