We want to start the day of the wings with the right foot, and there is no better way than with this sauce to enjoy in the best company.

A delicacy only for the brave

This sauce is delicious, yes. But we have to be honest, it's not for everyone. It has three levels of heat, in addition to that smoky and bittersweet flavor provided by its star ingredients, and it goes well with summer evenings and a well-balanced drink. cold.

Do you know how this dish was born?

The year was 1964, and at the Anchor bar in Buffalo, New York, Dominic Bellissimo asked his mom, Teressa, to cook a snack for him and his friends at night, and not having many supplies in the kitchen of the bar, he used some chicken wings that otherwise would have been destined to make broth, and decided to fry them and bathe them in the house sauce and accompany them with a blue cheese dip and celery sticks.

Dominic and his friends loved this dish so much that the next day, the Bellissimo's put them on their menu the next day and they were an instant hit. And although fried wings were already a part of southern cuisine in the United States, this new way of preparing them was a boom.

Don Zabor's version

Buffalo wings may have been the traditional way to prepare them, but the house recipe is like nothing you've ever tried. It has the perfect Mexican touch, the abuelita seasoning that any recipe needs and it goes well with the flavor of chicken, or cauliflower if your diet is plant-based or even cheese fingers.
