Are Jessica Simpson and I the only ones who thought that Buffalo wings were made of buffalo?

They come from chickens.
They were invented at the Anchor Bar on Main Street, near the corner of North Street, Buffalo, on October 3, 1964.
Teressa Bellissimo, co-owner of the Anchor Bar with her husband Frank, had the idea of deep frying chicken wings and tossing them in hot sauce for her son Dominic and his friends. One evening, on a spur of the moment, Teressa presented her son with a deep-fried and sauced creation, and they were an instant hit. At the time the recipe was created, chicken wings were typically thrown away or reserved for making stock.
In Buffalo, the best-known places for authentic wings are the Anchor Bar and at Duff's, just outside the city limit, on Sheridan Drive in Amherst. Wings can also be found in most pizza restaurants and corner taverns throughout the region. The Anchor Bar serves more than 36,000 pounds of wings per month. Although they are known as "Buffalo wings" in most of America, they are simply called "chicken wings" or "wings" in the Buffalo area and in much of the northeast.
Wings have gained such popularity and such a following that there are now even documented "best practice" eating techniques for wings. The legendary small bone twist and smash technique are used by many to make wing eating a more manageable and pleasant experience.

No, my stupid wife thinks so too.
Buffalo wings (known simply as wings or "chicken wings" in much of the Northeastern United States, especially in areas around Buffalo, NY, where they are almost never referred to as Buffalo Wings by locals), are unbreaded chicken wing sections (called flats and drums), deep fried, and coated in a cayenne pepper-based sauce with other seasonings. Although many variations on this sauce exist, the original sauce is composed of only five ingredients: cayenne pepper sauce, white vinegar, butter, salt, and garlic. When using a prepared hot sauce of vinegar and cayenne pepper, the recipe is simply a mixture of hot sauce and melted butter. Buffalo wings are named after the city of Buffalo, New York where they originated, and the appellation "buffalo" is now commonly applied to foodstuffs other than wings that are seasoned with the sauce or close variations on it.

Yes Buffalo wings do come from Buffalo.....New York that is.
They were created in the Anchor Bar in Downtown Buffalo. Great wings, great bar, but very bad area. You should visit.

You can't blame someone like Jessica for thinking that for many reasons.
But more specifically, Jessica is probably used to different foods.
For example, I have had Duck Strips, Ostrich Burger, escargo, cavier, and ox tail.
Buffalo wings? Sounds exotic, no?
The average person is not used to trying new things so for the average person, it seems like a dumb question.
But technically, yes, they do come from Buffalo, New York, it's named after the city.
But not a buffalo.
Either way, enjoy! They are good!
They are served with celery to cool down your mouth after you have one of them, that is, if you have the hot buffalo wings.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU5Ey
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Buffalo wings are just chicken wings with a tangy sauce. Please separate yourself from Jessica Simpson.
