Buffalo Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings gets its name from Buffalo, NY, where that type of hot wing was invented. As hot wing aficionados know, the perfect type of hot wing is NOT breaded, but fried quickly in very hot grease and then soaked in a vinegar-based hot sauce. Durkee hot sauce is closest to the original. True Buffalo style hot wings are not sweet at all, are not b-b-q, and are definitely NOT breaded (EVER).

Buffalo, NY was named after the Buffalo, the indigenous quadruped that once freely roamed the Great Plains of North America. So, Buffalo Wild Wings has nothing to do with Native Americans really, but the buffalo was used as food by some Native American groups (as you know).
