Buffalo wings are a great favorite with everyone these days. It hasn’t always been so though. Earlier chicken parts such as the neck, wings and back weren’t use in dishes but were used instead in soups and stocks to add flavor. They remained so until one day one enterprising restaurant owner came up with the recipe of buffalo wings.

The accepted date of creation of this dish is the 30th of Octobey, 1964 when the owner of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York Teressa Bellissimo came up with it. She had to cook up a snack for her son and his friends and had a lot of chicken wings lying around. So she fried the wings and dipped them in spicy sauce. And so the buffalo wings were born, giving America one of its favorite snacks of all them that is served anywhere you go.

Ingredients:

1 cup of flour

1 tsp of salt

¼ tsp of cayenne pepper

½ tsp of paprika

20 chicken wings

½ cup of butter

¼ tsp black pepper

½ cup of hot sauce

¼ tsp of garlic powder

Combine the salt, flour, cayenne pepper and paprika in a bowl and coat the chicken in this dry mixture. Refrigerate for an hour.  Now melt the butter in a sauce pan and stir in the pepper, hot sauce and garlic powder.

Deep fry the chicken and drain on paper towels.  Place the chicken in a bowl and pour the sauce over it.  Coat evenly.  Serve with ranch or a blue cheese dip.

Buffalo wings are extremely yummy and very easy to make. They are the perfect appetizers to make and are especially good when guests drop in unexpectedly, which is often the case. So make this and I’m positive there aren’t going to be any complaints.
