The spicy, crispy chicken wing that is now a ubiquitous menu item at bars and restaurants alike was invented in buffalo, ny, at the anchor bar. The original recipe takes the flat and drummette pieces, deep-fries them, and then tosses them in a spicy hot sauce. This is a baked version of the famous buffalo chicken wings, which makes them a little healthier, but every bit delicious. And, as is served with the original buffalo wings, make sure to accompany these spicy wings with blue cheese dipeither homemade or store-boughtand celery sticks. Most of us think of buffalo wings as bar food or super bowl fare, but with their accompaniment of celery sticks and creamy blue cheese dressing, they also make a pretty good casual meal. You can also diversify how you serve this meal as well. You can make it into a casserole or even mac and cheese. These wings are hot, but if you like them incendiary, pass extra hot sauce around.
