Buffalo wings became an American bar-food landmark after the Anchor Bar story took hold in 1960s Buffalo: crisp wings, peppery hot sauce, celery, and blue cheese dressing. Air fryers do not replace the original deep-fried tavern version, but they give home cooks a reliable way to render chicken skin and toss wings hot from the basket. The safety rule is nonnegotiable: wings should reach 165 degrees F when checked with a food thermometer.

1964-2026
Buffalo wings became a national American bar-food icon after their rise in Buffalo, New York, especially through Anchor Bar lore around Teressa Bellissimo in 1964. Other Buffalo cooks also shaped local wing culture, but the hot-sauce-and-butter wing became the template.
1990-2026
Buffalo chicken dip turns Buffalo wing flavors into a scoopable party dish. It belongs to the Super Bowl and tailgate era of American entertaining, with Frank's RedHot, cream cheese, shredded chicken, and ranch or blue cheese becoming the familiar formula.
