The History of Chicken Wings
Chicken wings were not always a popular food item. In fact, they were once considered a throwaway part of the chicken and were often used to make chicken stock. It wasn’t until the 1960s that chicken wings became a popular food item in the United States.
The story goes that in 1964, the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, received a shipment of chicken wings that they didn’t know what to do with. The owner’s wife, Teressa Bellissimo, decided to fry them up and toss them in a spicy sauce. The wings were an instant hit and became a regular menu item at the bar. Today, Buffalo-style chicken wings are a popular food item across the United States and around the world.
