Buffalo Wings

Having nothing in common with the actual buffalo nor the American bison, Buffalo wings are actually named after the place of their origin - Buffalo, New York. There are numerous stories about the origins of these mouth-watering chicken wings, but the one that seems the most authentic says that they were first served at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo.

In 1964, Teressa Bellissimo, the bar's owner, received a shipment of chicken wings by accident and didn't know what to do with them so she got an idea to deep-fry the wings and serve them in hot sauce with a blue cheese dressing and some thickly sliced celery sticks.

The crowd loved the dish, and it soon became a staple on the bar's menu. Buffalo wings have crispy skin on the outside, tender meat on the inside, and a special hot sauce infused with vinegar and butter, with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing provides a perfect opportunity to cool down the wings' spiciness.

Today, Buffalo wings can be found in every sports bar, at barbecues, and at almost every Super Bowl party in the USA.
