Chicken wings used to be one of the pieces of chicken used for making stock, rather than eating. Today, they are a common snack food and the most common type is Buffalo wings, named after Buffalo, New York State, rather than the animal.
Buffalo wings were reputedly invented at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, but there have been a number of different claims, both about how they were created at the Anchor Bar and other claimants to the creation. Buffalo wings are made from an unbreaded chicken wing section that is deep fried then coated or dipped in a hot sauce and melted butter. They are served with blue cheese or ranch dressing traditionally, though other sauces, and other ways of preparing the wings, exist.
