Buffalo Chicken Dishes That Will Leave You Wanting More

Buffalo Chicken wings are a popular snack or part of a meal that takes chicken to a new level. They were invented in 1964 in Buffalo, New York and got it’s name based on the location and not the name or the sauce originally.

Did you know that National Chicken Wing day is July 29th in the United Sates?

While you may only think of buffalo chicken as something to have in the wing variety, these buffalo chicken recipes will show you just how versatile this popular food can be. Two recipes show you how to make the perfect wings though, for those who want to make wings as well!
