But, on this date in 1964, Buffalo Wings were created by Teressa Bellissimo at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, for her son and some friends as a midnight snack. She ordered a case of chicken breasts, but was sent a case of chicken wings by mistake. She was the first to remove the tip and separate the drum and flat.

 

Buffalo Chicken Wing Sauce

 

⅔ cup Frank’s Red-Hot sauce

1 stick cold unsalted butter

1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar

¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Kosher salt, to taste

 

Gather all ingredients.

Combine hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, garlic powder, and salt in a pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer while stirring with a whisk.

As soon as the liquid begins to bubble on the sides of the pot, remove from heat, stir with the whisk, and set aside for use.

Enjoy!
