Where are all these chicken wing competitions? Almost every restaurant I’ve been to that has chicken wings as a prominent portion of their menu claims they are award winning chicken wings. But I never see any trophies, medals, plaques, or anything that indicates what award they’ve won for their chicken wings.

The same way that every vehicle manufacturer makes award winning vehicles. Watch a commercial for Ford, Dodge, Chevy, and GMC trucks. All the same size trucks, all with similar features, dimensions and capabilities. Each manufacturer will claim that their truck was awarded “truck of the year” or “best in class.” So how can 4 different trucks each win the same award in the same year? Because there are dozens of magazines and websites that review vehicles. **Motor Trend** might give their award to Ford, while **Car and Driver** gives their award to Dodge. And so on and so on.
Your local wing joint is no different. Maybe they got recognized by a national organization, or maybe it was a local “Best of [insert town here]” from a local/regional magazine. Or maybe the local Boy Scout troop decided to taste all the wings in town and pick their favorite. That counts, too. The award could also be from 35 years ago.
But mostly it’s just that there enough review/rating groups out there giving away awards for things that practically anyone and everyone can get one.
