A Brief History of Chicken Wings

Believe it or not, the beloved chicken wing we all crave today wasn’t always a restaurant staple. The story begins in Buffalo, New York, in the 1960s.

The Origin of Buffalo Wings

According to legend, Buffalo wings were invented in 1964 at the Anchor Bar. The owners, Teressa and Frank Bellissimo, decided to deep-fry some leftover wings, toss them in a tangy hot sauce, and serve them with celery and blue cheese dressing. The dish became an instant hit.

Wings Take Over America

By the 1980s, chicken wings had spread nationwide, appearing in bars, pizzerias, and casual restaurants. Today, wings are a game-day essential, a go-to comfort food, and a staple on menus everywhere—including right here at Hurricane Hanks on AMI.
