Poultry in motion: The ubiquitous Buffalo wing, as assessed by a local who loves 'em

Buffalo-style wings now appear nationwide, but locals say the city’s original recipe still sets the standard and remains a point of pride.

  • Buffalo chicken wings have become ubiquitous, appearing in chains like Buffalo Wild Wings and Wing Stop, yet the genre's original recipe remains rooted in Buffalo, New York, where locals simply call them wings.
  • In March 1964, Teressa Bellissimo invented the recipe late one night at the Anchor Bar while feeding her son and his hungry friends.
  • At Duff's Famous Wings, the menu warns that "medium is hot," while Bar-Bill Tavern offers a "suicidal wing" option that challenges diners with intense heat.
  • Residents of the City of Good Neighbors associate the food with family and local pride tied to the Bills, despite past Super Bowl losses.
  • Marking the 250th anniversary of the United States, this dish is featured in the recurring series "American Objects," highlighting how Buffalo-flavored items have expanded nationwide.
