It's nearly impossible to go to any restaurant across the nation and not see buffalo wings on the menu. Buffalo wings are one the most American food items you can think of next to hamburgers and hot dogs. However, with the tasty bird dipped in a vat of spicy sauce being so readily available everywhere many people forget that buffalo wings were invented in the state of New York despite the city of its birthplace being right in its name.
Buffalo wings were allegedly invented in 1964 by a woman by the name of Teresa Bellissimo at her restaurant in downtown Buffalo, New York when she accidentally drizzled a secret sauce atop of deep-fried chicken wings. The drunken patrons she served the wings to righteously crowned the wings as one of the most delicious things they ever tasted and the rest was history. Now, the hot sauce-based chicken is one of the most popular dishes in all of America.
