I have yet too see a buffalo with wings…Why don’t they just call them BBQ chicken wings??
They were invented at a bar in Buffafo, NY you big silly. They are not the same at all as barbecue wings if made correctly. Here is the whole story: http://www.geography.ccsu.edu/harmonj/atlas/buffwing.htm
Buffalo is a city in New York state where the modern chicken wing appetizer was perfected.
Oh, and barbecue wings are sweet. Buffalo wings are picante.
They’re named after the city of Buffalo, N.Y., where they were first popularised (supposedly).
They don’t call them barbecue chicken wings, because they’re not barbecued (slowly smoked in a hole in the ground) and they usually don’t used barbecue flavouring.

I believe the original (and IMHO, best) Buffalo wing sauce is just hot sauce (Frank’s) and butter. Wings deep fried and tossed with the sauce. Simplicity.
And from what I understand - a small bit of white vinegar. It’s the vinegar that gives the sauce its piquancy.
Frank’s Hot Sauce already has vinegar in it. (My source for that fact: the label on the bottle in my cupboard.) Would it really be necessary to add more?
You can have original Anchor Bar Buffalo Wings shipped to you as well - see their website for ordering instructions.
The best thing to come out of Buffalo - aside from my wife.
The wings fall off the buffalo when they are very young. That’s why they’re so small, and that’s why you’d never see bison soar o’er the horizon.
Here’s an old thread where we’ve discussed this before. Do a search in the archives on the terms “Buffalo” and “Wings” and you’ll probably find a few more such threads:

Nah. The best thing to come out of Buffalo is the air conditioner.
Still kinda makes you wonder why someone from Buffalo would want to invent a contraption to make things even more cold.
