One of the more prevalent claims is that Buffalo wings were first prepared at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, by Teressa Bellissimo,who owned the bar with her husband, Frank. The city of Buffalo officially declared July 29, 1977, to be Chicken Wing Day. A Buffalo wing or Buffalo chicken wing is a chicken wing section (wingette or drumette) that is generally deep-fried, unbreaded, and coated in vinegar based cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter.They are traditionally served hot, along with celery sticks and/or carrot sticks with blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping. There are also boneless wings, from which the humerus and other bones have been removed.
One can find Buffalo wings any where in town, however at The Hungry Monk restaurant and bar located in Chandler, AZ, there is a great variety of Buffalo wings offered in the menu served with blue cheese, ranch and a few token celery sticks. Friendly staff and a great service makes the dining experience in this restaurant indeed pleasant.
