Where Did Buffalo Wings Originate

How and where did the famous Buffalo Wings first get served?  

The most popular answer seems to be they originated in 1964 in Buffalo, NY at The Anchor Bar, a family-owned business. They were covered in a special peppery sauce and served with a side of blue cheese and celery because that’s what was available.

 

It’s said to have been something just thrown together by the owner for her sons and his friends with ingredients on hand, including a side of Blue Cheese Dressing.

When traveling, you look for places like this to make a visit to.  On a road trip in 2016 going to Niagara Falls and Toronto, we stopped in Buffalo and tried them out.  Thumbs up on these wings.

Using the Crock Pot – A Hint

 Don’t you hate the extra moisture which drips down in your food? 

Cover the crock pot with a towel before placing the lid on.

This also will keep the steam down so you don’t burn yourself when removing the lid.
