chicken wings
Buffalo sauce vehicle
Chicken wings are the wing sections of a chicken, prepared as food.
They're typically deep-fried or baked and served with sauce—most iconically the cayenne-based Buffalo sauce that originated in Buffalo, New York.
Wings are bar and party food, often accompanied by celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing: We ordered wings for the game.
