What Is the Difference Between Hot Wings and Buffalo Wings?

If you didn’t have the blue cheese and celery there as a giveaway, could you tell the difference between hot wings and buffalo wings at a glance? They’re both red, saucy, spicy, and deliciously messy, but they are decidedly not the same thing.

It’s hard to say when hot wings became A Thing, but we do know that buffalo wings were first invented in Buffalo, New York, in 1964.

Wing Nut?How to Make Crispy Baked Buffalo Wings for Your Super Bowl PartyTraditionally deep-fried but not breaded, buffalo wings are then tossed in sauce and usually served with celery and blue cheese dressing as dip. Wings were originally considered an unsavory part of the chicken, as Smithsonian magazine details, but all that changed after Teressa Bellissimo served them for dinner at the Anchor Bar in downtown Buffalo. (As our full history of buffalo wings explains, John Young likely had a hand in making wings more desirable in general, but he didn’t invent what we know as as buffalo wings in particular.)

Buffalo sauce is traditionally made of a cayenne pepper-based hot sauce, butter, vinegar, and seasonings to taste (like garlic powder, salt, sometimes a splash of Worcestershire sauce, etc). The key difference between buffalo wings and hot wings is often the spiciness factor: buffalo wings pack a zesty punch, but hot wings are the ones that will really set your mouth on fire.

Hot wings often have chile peppers included in the sauce, and you can easily vary the level of heat by including more or less pepper. Buffalo wings are also rarely served without their traditional celery and blue cheese dip; hot wings can be served with a cooling sauce or dip but blue cheese isn’t always the flavor of choice.

Although buffalo wings and hot wings differ in spiciness, the designations are often used interchangeably on menus across America. But the buffalo chicken flavor has taken on a life of its own: buffalo flavored chips, buffalo chicken-topped pizza, and buffalo chicken flavored dip have become available options. But nobody’s ever ordered a hot wing chicken pizza; in that market, buffalo chicken pizza takes precedence. No matter what you call it, these wings are delicious. Check out these variations on buffalo and hot wings for the perfect afternoon snack or game day meal.

The History of Buffalo Wings

If there was ever a time to dig into the history of Buffalo wings, it’s now, in advance of Super Sunday.

With the big game fast approaching, lots of dips are in the making, and over a billion pounds of chicken wings are in the process of flying off grocery store shelves. Because if there’s one dish that has become a signature football meal, it’s wings—and perhaps the most iconic form of them all: Buffalo wings. But where exactly did they come from, and when were they invented? And how did they become such an illustrious snack?

Controversial Claims

Sweet pic @vitoeats 🔥🍻🍗 Come by and try our original sauce – SO GOOD #buffalo #anchorbarbuffalo #buffalowings #bestwingsauce #originalwingsauce #nomnom

A post shared by Anchor Bar Buffalo (@anchorbarbuffalo) on Jan 5, 2020 at 1:48pm PST

A lot of different foods have controversial origin stories. One person will claim they invented it, while another establishment will say they made it first. When it comes to Buffalo wings, the controversy is a little bit different. Many accounts suggest Anchor Bar was the birthplace of the Buffalo wing, but exactly how Anchor Bar came to make what’s become a nearly ubiquitous appetizer is a little more mysterious.

According to Anchor Bar, the official story is that on March 4, 1964, former owner Teressa Bellissimo whipped up the original batch. Late that night, friends of Teressa’s son, Dominic, a bartender at the restaurant, came to see him. Because they were so hungry, he asked his mom to make a late night snack for his friends. She went to the kitchen where she deep fried some chicken wings and mixed them in a special, spicy sauce. They were an instant hit with Dominic’s pals, and over the course of the next 55 years came to be the game day staple they now are.

These come with extra wing sauce, plus celery and Anchor Bar Bleu Cheese.

Okay, so where’s the controversy? Well, apparently, there have been rivaling accounts to come out of the Bellissimo family over the years. One tale suggests that Frank, Teressa’s husband, and co-owner of the bar, asked his wife to make something special for his predominantly Catholic crowd to enjoy once the clock struck 12 a.m. Many of the patrons were abstaining from meat, and he wanted to show his appreciation for their patronage. She went to the kitchen, and came out with Buffalo wings. Still another account offered by the Bellissimo crew throughout the years suggests that Anchor Bar received a surplus shipment of wings that week, so Frank asked his wife to make something with the extras.

What’s the full, real story? Who knows. Unfortunately, no one is still around to set the record straight. But one thing seems pretty clear: Teressa Bellissimo made the first Buffalo wing on March 4, 1964. Now, at this point it’s important to specify what constitutes a Buffalo wing. A traditional wing is made with parts of a full chicken wing. First, the drumette, flat, and pointer are separated from each other. Then, the drumette and flat are deep fried. Next, they are tossed in a sauce made of butter, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce. Finally, they are served with celery and blue cheese.

This distinction is important because there’s another origin tale floating around that suggests the Bellissimos didn’t actually invent Buffalo wings at all—John Young did.

An Alternate Origin Story

According to a story that ran in The Buffalo News, Young laid claim to inventing the Buffalo wing prior to the Bellissimos. The thing is, his wings don’t resemble what we now know of as Buffalo wings. While he deep fried his wings, they were whole, dipped in batter, and sauced with a tomato-based, tangy Mambo sauce (with no butter). What’s more, they weren’t accompanied with blue cheese or celery.

As a result, I think it’s clear that John Young certainly helped make wings popular as a consumable, sought after part of the chicken. Before you scoff, this was actually no small feat. Prior to the 1960s, wings were either discarded or used for stock since they have far less meat than breasts, thighs, and legs. He also likely paved the way for the plethora of sauces that we now put on drumettes and flats, from BBQ to teriyaki. But he didn’t invent the Buffalo wing. That honor goes to the Bellissimos.

The Rise of Buffalo Wings

Since that night in 1964, Buffalo wings have been on a wild ride. Through the 1970s, folks would mostly encounter the dish in the western part of the Empire State. Later, in the ‘80s, transplants brought the wing down to Florida and opened Hooters. Then, something big happened for Buffalo, and its wings. The Buffalo Bills made four straight Super Bowls. During that amazing run (I know they didn’t win; it’s still amazing), Buffalo wings got some serious publicity, with camera shots of the hometown favorite making their way to the rest of America. This started the great wing proliferation. It’s what’s allowed the Buffalo wing to seemingly be on every corner, and become America’s preferred football-watching food.

This year, when you sit down to watch the Big Game with a plate full of wings, you’ll be able to rest easy knowing where they came from. And if you find yourself at a party, you’ll have some interesting repartee to add to the occasion. Finally, if you’ve ever thought of making a batch yourself, here’s an Easy Buffalo Wings recipe to try. They’re broiled instead of fried, so they got that going for ‘em. Which is nice.

The Best Crock Pot Hot Wings for Every Occasion

These Crock Pot wings are about to become your new favorite party food, and are a sure bet for the big game.

We love chicken wings any which way: baked in the oven, deep-fried, grilled, or crisped in the air fryer. But these Crock Pot wings are a thing of true beauty. They’re easy, of course, but also incredibly tender and suffused with smoky, spicy flavor. Plus, they get crisped up at the end so you don’t have to sacrifice that perfect texture.

They’re clearly ideal game-day food, but just as welcome at any party. Messy, true, but that’s what napkins are for. You could even serve them with a crisp green salad for a simple dinner. And while they’re not the traditional buffalo flavor, they’d still be good with creamy, cooling blue cheese dressing.

The Wings

When it comes to the star ingredient, you can use wing parts—aka, flats and drumettes—for this recipe if you prefer, or even go with boneless wings, but we prefer whole, bone-in chicken wings for the best flavor and maximum crispy surface area once they’re bronzed in the oven. And honestly, there’s something deeply satisfying about gnawing every last shred of tender meat right from the bone.

The Method

Chowhound

There’s really not much to it—yet it turns out such spectacular results. You simply dump all the sauce ingredients into the slow cooker, then add the wings and toss to coat, and let it all cook for four hours. They’ll emerge totally tender and full of flavor.

To get a nice crisp exterior, you bake the wings in the oven for 30 minutes once they’re done, and in the meanwhile, simmer the sauce with a bit of sugar for a thicker mixture to pour back over the wings when you’re ready to eat.

If you’re short on time, you can use the same trick to finish off a batch of Instant Pot wings; cook them in a flash and then crisp them in the oven—or even in the air fryer. (And taking a cue from the Instant Pot wings recipe, you can also cook chicken wings from frozen in the Crock-Pot.)

The Sauce

Chowhound

We love buffalo wings, but this is a nice change of pace, less tangy and more smoky, yet still just as easy to throw together. Choose your favorite hot sauce and pour it into your slow cooker along with a little umami-boosting soy sauce, liquid smoke, butter, tomato paste, and a few seasonings (oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder).

The teaspoon of sugar added at the very end, when you’re thickening the sauce to finish the wings, helps balance out the smoky, spicy savor without making it too sweet. But as always, adjust everything to your taste. And enjoy!

This Hack for Perfectly Sturdy Egg Soldiers Will Make Mornings Glorious

Are you big into dipping hunks of crusty bread into soft-boiled eggs, but lack enough egg cups to feed a crowd? No matter, thanks to a hack from baker and cookbook author Apollonia Poilane, the owner and third-generation baker of Poilane bakery in Paris, France.  

Related Reading: These Starbucks Egg Bites Taste Like the Real Thing—And Are Keto Friendly

The wizard baker has a nifty hack for eggs and soldiers that eschews ceramic egg cups for—wait for it—a slice of bread. Plus, she guarantees that the soldiers will remain sturdy and upright (no one likes soft and limp bread).

To start, Apollonia soft-boils eggs and cracks open the tops. While the eggs rest, she slices a Pullman-style sandwich bread (the long, rectangular breads that are often sliced and used for sandwiches) and begins a bit of a DIY art project. She takes a pastry tip outfitted with a wide hole, and, using the smaller end, punches out a circle in one corner of the bread. She removes the round of bread, then flips the pastry tip over to the other, larger end and does the same thing—but this time she leaves the circle in place.

Poilane Bakery in Paris, France, where executive editor Hana Asbrink learned this trick | Hana Asbrink

Then she gets to work on the soldiers: Using a chef’s knife, she gently cuts into the bread, carving lines from the outer round of the circle to the edge of the bread. Once completed, the slice of bread undeniably resembles a sun, complete with wide spokes soaring to the crust—a smattering of soldiers, all different sizes and shapes.

Apollonia sprinkles the egg with flaky salt, then places it, still in its shell, atop the cut-out circle, the cutest bespoke stand for an egg, and one that doesn’t require a ceramic cup. The egg can rest on its own, a balancing act worthy of a breakfast award.

To finish off the eggs and soldiers, Apollonia spreads the soldiers with plenty of butter, then dunks them in the jammy eggs. Not only does this hack allow cooks who don’t own ceramic cups to feast upon eggs and soldiers at home, but it’s a sure crowd-pleaser that can be served for a large breakfast party.
