Buffalo Wings

November 24, 2009

Why is plate of sticky chicken wings called “Buffalo Wings”?

I have always wondered and it has never sense to me.

Well here is the answer:

Buffalo wings are named after their city of origin, Buffalo, New York. The local residents of Buffalo generally refer to them as “wings” or “chicken wings” rather than “Buffalo wings”.The appellation “Buffalo” is also now commonly applied to foods other than wings (such as chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, and popcorn chicken) that are seasoned with the Buffalo-style sauce or variations of it.
