Chicken wings many years ago were scraps that were just used for making chicken stock, which is a pretty good way to use them.  The recipe.com says that chicken wings were first served at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York.

Many folks say that is untrue. Apparently, there have been several different stories of people selling fried chicken wings at their restaurants. I don't care where they started out as long as restaurants continue to sell them. How about you?
