About Buffalo chicken wings

Buffalo chicken wings are a popular American appetizer originating from Buffalo, New York, consisting of fried or baked chicken wings coated in a spicy, tangy sauce made from hot sauce and melted butter. Typically served with celery sticks and a side of creamy blue cheese or ranch dressing, they are a staple of sports gatherings and casual dining. While chicken itself is a good source of protein, the deep-frying process and rich sauce increase calorie, fat, and sodium content, making moderation key. Baking instead of frying and using lighter sauce alternatives can reduce some of the less healthy aspects. Buffalo wings are beloved for their bold flavor and versatility, often appearing in variations ranging from mild to extra spicy. Despite their indulgent nature, they remain a cultural favorite in American cuisine, reflecting the combination of flavor and festivity in food traditions.
