This day in history: The first Buffalo Wings were made at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, on this day in 1964.
Several versions of the story of the invention have been circulated by the Bellissimo family and others, including:
Upon the unannounced late-night arrival of their son, Dominic, with several of his friends from college, Teresa needed a fast and easy snack to present to her guests. It was then that she came up with the idea of deep frying chicken wings and tossing them in cayenne hot sauce
Dominic told The New Yorker reporter Calvin Trillin in 1980: "It was Friday night in the bar and since people were buying a lot of drinks he wanted to do something nice for them at midnight when the mostly Catholic patrons would be able to eat meat again." He stated his mother came up with the idea of chicken wings.
There was a mistaken delivery of wings instead of backs and necks for making the bar's spaghetti sauce. Faced with this unexpected resource, Frank says that he asked Teresa to do something with them, resulting in the Buffalo wing.
What are the hottest Buffalo wings? "Arooga's Ghost Faced Killa wings (formerly known as Instant Death) are so scorching-hot that they refer to the sauce as the 'don't get it in your eye or you might lose it' sauce. This volcanic sauce gets its heat from the hottest chili on earth, the ghost chili. So far, nobody has been able to consume an entire order." Source
