hot wings
Buffalo bar snack
Hot wings are chicken wings coated in spicy sauce, typically a cayenne-based buffalo sauce, and served as an appetizer or bar food with blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
The name distinguishes them from plain or mild wings: We ordered hot wings and a pitcher of beer.
Also called buffalo wings.
