Most clients of catering services prefer to have chicken in their menu. One of the famous chicken dishes in catering services is the “buffalo wings”. The buffalo wings are deep fried chicken that are served with a sauce. The usual combination of buffalo wings’ sauce are melted butter, cayenne pepper and hot sauce.
In 1977, the former buffalo mayor Stan Makowski declared July 29 as a National Chicken Wing Day. Until now food historians don’t know where buffalo wings originated. There are a lot of stories which came out about buffalo wings. Some historians stated that buffalo wings started in Buffalo, New York and were first served in Anchor Bar.
The owners of the bar are Teresa and Frank Bellisimo Way back in 1980, Frank told to the New Yorker that buffalo wings were invented accidentally but his son Dominic has a different version of the story. On the other hand, a man named John Young claimed that he is the one who invented buffalo wings. John Young created a spicy sauce and he called it as “mambo sauce”.
These two theories begins in the midst of 1960s. As I research, I found out the difference of the two buffalo wings. The Bellisimo’s buffalo wings are chopped in half while the Young’s buffalo wings are breaded in whole. Like other dishes buffalo wings became popular and some culinarians started to use the sauce of buffalo wings in other food like pizza.
Buffalo wings dish is also cool to prepare in a super bowl event or barbecue outing. The true story behind the buffalo wings is still questionable to everybody. But no matter how questionable it is, buffalo wings have what it takes to make you smile.
