Buffalo Wings, Chicken Wings, Hot Wings or Wings are chicken wing section (calle the wing, or "flat" and drummette) that are deep fried and then coated in sauce. Traditional Buffalo style chicken wing sauce is composed of two ingredients: a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and margarine or butter. Buffalo wings may also be prepared with breading and sauce, although many purists would consider breaded wings not to be genuine "Buffalo" style wings.
