The origins of the chicken wing can be traced back to Buffalo, New York, in the 1960s. The most popular story attributes the invention of the Buffalo wing to Teressa Bellissimo, who owned the Anchor Bar with her husband. One night in 1964, she decided to prepare a late-night snack for her son and his friends. She deep-fried leftover chicken wings, which were typically used for stock, and tossed them in a homemade hot sauce made from butter and cayenne pepper. The dish quickly gained popularity, and the Anchor Bar became famous for its Buffalo wings. Over the years, the chicken wing evolved, with various sauces and cooking methods being developed, leading to the wide variety of wings we see today in restaurants and sports bars across the world. Buffalo wings are now a staple in American cuisine, especially during events like the Super Bowl.
