Buffalo wings originated at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York in the 1960's.  They are widely available, but recipes vary from cook to cook.  This America's Test Kitchen recipe uses cornstarch which produces a very crispy crust. The flavor of the traditional hot sauce has been  deepened by adding brown sugar and cider vinegar.
