Do buffalo wings come from real buffalo?

Buffalo wings do not come from buffalo, they are made using chicken wings. The name "Buffalo wings" comes from the city of Buffalo, New York, where they originated. In 1964, Teressa Bellissimo, co-owner of Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, created a dish of deep-fried chicken wings tossed in a spicy sauce made from cayenne pepper, vinegar, and butter. She named the dish "Buffalo wings" after the city.
