The origins of chicken wings
The origins of chicken wings are actually quite interesting. Though there are many different theories out there, it is widely believed that they were first created in Buffalo, New York. The story goes that a restaurant owner there was looking for a way to use up the chicken parts that people weren’t ordering. So, he came up with the idea of deep frying them and coating them in a hot sauce. And thus, the Buffalo wing was born.
