Simple Introduction:
Buffalo wings have gained in popularity in the United States and abroad, with
Some North American restaurant chains feature them as a main menu item.
The name “Buffalo” is now also applied to other spiced fried foods served with
dipping sauces, including boneless chicken wings (made from chicken breast
meat rather than a chicken wing), chicken fries, chicken nuggets, popcorn
chicken, shrimp, and cauliflower.
It is also used for other dishes, such as pizza,
that are seasoned with the Buffalo-style sauce or a similar seasoning.
History of Buffalo Wings :
Buffalo wings originated in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York.
According to the most widely accepted story, Teressa Bellissimo, who co-owned
The bar with her husband Frank created the dish by deep-frying leftover chicken
wings and tossing them in a homemade hot sauce. She served them to her son
and his friends as a late-night snack, and they quickly gained popularity.
