Buffalo wings are named after their city of origin, Buffalo, New York. The local residents of Buffalo generally refer to them as "wings" or "chicken wings" rather than "Buffalo wings".

Chicken wings are generally battered and fried, and served with a variety of sauces such as hot sauce and barbecue.
