Page 150 - Barbecue Chicken Made Easy
P. 150
Some will say the quintessential American foods are hot dogs and hamburgers. But those foods have their roots in Europe. Buffalo Chicken Wings were born in the USA, made from a part of the chicken that once upon a time was used for soup stock. Scrap. Heck, even chickens can't use chicken wings.
True Buffalo wings are deep fried, but we love the flavor and ease of cooking them on the grill. And there is much less mess.
The popular dish was invented in Buffalo, NY, at the now fabled Anchor Bar, still at the original location, 1047 Main St., although ownership has changed.
