Finding a chicken wings recipes is pretty easy these days. You want to know why? First of all, chicken wings and their popularity have had a fairly short history, but what a history! You've heard of the famous Buffalo Chicken Wings - who doesn't love them?
Let me tell you a little bit about the history of Buffalo Wings and the wings recipes that resulted. There's a bit of a dispute about the origin of the hot chicken wings appetizer.
Most believe that the first Buffalo Wings appetizer was created in the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York on October 30, 1964. This easy appetizer recipe came about because of some hungry young men and quick thinking of a restaurant owner.
The story is told that the owner, Teressa Bellisimo had to be creative when her son and his friends came into the restaurant late one night and proclaimed to be very hungry ("Feed us, Mom!" - sound familiar?).
Thinking fast on her feet, Teressa had an excess of chicken wings on hand and with a moment's inspiration, decided to fry them up and smother them in a spicy chile sauce she had created.
Still "winging" it, she realized that the hot sauce on the chicken wings might be a little too hot, so she quickly put some bleu cheese dip into a bowl and had the boys dip the fried wings in it to cut the heat. Then she added some cut up celery sticks for dipping into the bleu cheese.
Needless to say, the snack was an instant hit. The boys gobbled up the chicken wings recipe that Teressa had brilliantly come up with on a moment's notice. How smart was Teressa? And who would have thought that quick thinking to feed some hungry young men could have started a culture that continues today?
Anchor Bar's chicken wings recipes put Buffalo, New York on the map. In honor of the famous wings, the city of Buffalo designated July 29 as "Chicken Wing Day". Today, the Anchor Bar serves up more than 70 thousand pounds of chicken PER MONTH! The unbelievable success of the Buffalo Chicken Wings made it possible for the Anchor Bar to continue to broaden their revenue streams by offering the hot sauce originally created by a fast-on-her-feet, thinking mom -- commercially.
Today, you can buy the sauce, not only online, but in various established grocery chains.
