Ain't No Thing Like Chicken Wings

Are you a fan of chicken wings?The Anchor Bar in Buffalo (New York), 1964 is widely accepted as the birthplace and year of the World Famous Buffalo Chicken Wings. Every legend starts somewhere, right? These spicy, red hot sauce covered treats form the foundation of a culinary staple in the United States. They symbolize a crucial piece of Americana, primarily because they are synonymous with American Football. Anything that goes together well with football is usually accepted as an American icon, such as tailgating, BBQ and beers. Have you ever been to a bar for some wings and football? If not, it's a must experience. In fact, there are entire restaurants/ publicly traded companies, such as Buffalo Wild Wings that solely offer this food, essentially.
