Chicken wings with hot sauce are a popular appetizer and comfort food, originating from American cuisine, specifically Buffalo, New York. Typically, the dish consists of crispy fried or baked chicken wings coated in a tangy, spicy hot sauce made from vinegar, cayenne peppers, and butter. While immensely flavorful, chicken wings can be energy-dense due to their preparation method, often involving frying and added butter in the sauce. On the healthier side, wings are a good source of protein. However, they may be high in saturated fats and sodium depending on the recipe. Baked or grilled variants, paired with lighter sauces or vegetable sides, can offer a more nutrient-conscious option. Moderation is key when enjoying this crowd-favorite dish, as its bold flavors make it easy to overindulge.
