The Origins of Chicken Wings
The story of chicken wings begins in Buffalo, New York, during the 1960s. Teressa Bellissimo, the co-owner of the Anchor Bar, accidentally created this iconic dish. She deep-fried leftover chicken wings and tossed them in a spicy hot sauce, serving them with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing. The Buffalo wing was born!
