The legend began in Buffalo, NY, in 1964 with a woman named Teressa Bellissimo. She served fried chicken wings tossed in hot sauce at the restaurant she shared with her husband, and the rest is history.
Generally offered in hot, medium, and mild sauces, Buffalo wings can be smoked, baked, sous vide, meatless, or even just vegetables tossed in the desired sauce. Today, Americans consume more than 2 billion pounds of wings per year.
