No matter which team you’re rooting for in the big game this year, you may also want to root for the game to go into overtime. If that happens, we’re all getting free food. For the fourth year in a row, Buffalo Wild Wings is offering football fans the chance to score some of their signature chicken wings for free. But it all depends on the score at the end of the fourth quarter.

According to Spoon University, if Kansas City and Philadelphia are tied after regulation and go into overtime on Sunday, February 12th, Buffalo Wild Wings will offer six free wings to everyone in North America. Fans will be able to go to the wing chain on Monday, February 27th, and grab six free boneless or traditional wings from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Buffalo Wild Wings has locations in Charlotte, Concord, Gastonia, Monroe, Rock Hill, Mooresville, Salisbury, and Hickory.

Unfortunately, history is not on our side. The last and only time the championship went into overtime was the 2017 match-up between Atlanta and New England. Kansas City and Philadelphia square off on Sunday, February 12th at 6:30pm EST at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Since Carolina isn’t playing, the only thing I’m rooting for is free wings!

This Charlotte North Carolina Wing Spot Makes Nation's Best Wings List

Wings are a staple when it comes to game day and tailgate food. Everyone loves them, and they are handheld and portable.

And, according to stats, Americans eat more than 1.38 billion wings on the big day. Tastes vary from bone-in to boneless and sweet to savory and spicy. We turned to Mashed.com. And, they do point out good wings can come from chains. However, most of the time, it takes research to find those out-of-the-way spots with the best. Mashed looked at reviews, awards and local articles from each state to sort through and compile a list of the best in each state. From that research, they determined the best wing restaurant in North Carolina. And it happens to be in Charlotte.

And, it even has top suggestions in South Carolina and a handful of neighboring states. When it comes time to supply your game day guests with wings for the watch party, these are some you might consider. Of course, if you are in the mood to travel, you can check the complete list of the best wings in each state from coast to coast. But, enjoy as you browse and learn all there is to know about this top-wing restaurant in Charlotte North Carolina.  They are listed in alphabetical order.
