Why do we call them Buffalo Wings?
The first visual I always get is a buffalo with little wings. So exactly, how did this name get started and how has it stuck around for as long as I remember. The only information I have found is it’s something about the origin in Buffalo New York. But we all know them as chicken drumettes with buffalo chicken wing sauce.

But nevertheless they are here to stay and they are everywhere! East, West, North or South, we all love our wings, especially during Football season.

And we believe these are a must serve on Sunday afternoons while watching football games. And they are especially welcome at our Superbowl party.

These fried chicken wings are just amazing and really easy to make. First, we season chicken drumettes with a special blend of seasonings. Then we fry the chicken drumettes until they are crisp and done. The fried chicken wings are dropped into a pan of our buffalo chicken wing sauce until they are completely coated with the hot wing sauce.

These buffalo wings are served in the homemade hot wing sauce with plenty of Ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side. Also, celery sticks can be served alongside to help cool things off.

We hope you enjoy our Chicken drumettes with this buffalo chicken wing sauce.

Yeah!! Now these are wings like we like em! Hubby is from Buffalo, so it's all about the butter and Franks Red Hot, when we have wings. Thanks so much for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday.
