Buffalo chicken wings were first created in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York. The owner of the bar, Teressa Bellissimo, was looking for a way to use up some leftover chicken wings, and she decided to toss them in a spicy sauce made with vinegar, cayenne pepper, and butter. The wings were a hit with customers, and they soon became a staple of the bar's menu. Buffalo chicken wings have since become a popular party food, and they can be found on the menus of many restaurants and bars. They're typically served with a blue cheese dressing, which helps to cool down the heat of the wings. Our recipe for Buffalo Chicken Wings with Homemade Blue Cheese Dip is a simple and easy way to make this classic dish at home. The wings are baked in the oven until they're cooked through, and then they're tossed in a flavorful buffalo sauce. The blue cheese dip is made with unsweetened dairy-free yogurt, blue cheese crumbles, lemon juice, and garlic powder, and it's the perfect complement to the wings.
