Buffalo wing

Buffalo wings are a chicken wing dish that originated in Buffalo, New York. They are typically deep-fried and then coated in a hot sauce.

The exact origin of Buffalo wings is unknown, but there are several theories. One theory is that Buffalo wings were invented at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, in 1964 by Teressa Bellissimo. Another theory is that they were created by John Young at his Buffalo restaurant in the early 1970s.

Buffalo wings became popular in the 1980s, when they began to be served in bars and restaurants across the United States. Today, they are a common appetizer or main dish in many American households.
