Why Do They Call Them Buffalo Chicken Wings?
Buffalo chicken wings are named after the city of Buffalo, New York, where they were first created in the 1960s. The chicken wings are typically fried and then coated in a spicy sauce made with hot sauce and butter, creating a tangy and flavorful snack or appetizer. Although they don’t actually contain buffalo meat, the term “buffalo” is used to evoke the image of the untamed and wild buffalo that once roamed the American plains.
