I am from Buffalo. I was raised here, I live less than a mile from the Anchor Bar, where they "invented" the chicken wing (they didn't really, a black restaurant on the East Side of Buffalo invented it about 10 years earlier.....but yanno how history goes). My opinion on this matter is the only opinion acceptable in Buffalo, and thus is chicken wing law:
1) Obviously wings should have bones. Boneless wings are an abomination against God. No one in Buffalo has ever considered boneless wings acceptable, and because a franchise named after this city (Buffalo Wild Wings) but founded somewhere else (Minnesota, albeit it by two former Buffalonians who had lost their way) popularized the boneless format, we have a particular loathing for BWW.
2) There is only one acceptable dipping sauce for wings: bleu cheese. Ranch is an abomination against God. No caveats, no exceptions.
3) Flavors. There are two acceptable types of chicken wings: hot wings (which, just means covered in hot sauce, and can come in mild/medium/hot), and BBQ wings. Even BBQ wings were kind of frowned upon by chicken wing purists in the 90s when I was a teenager and first experimenting with wings. I will say, in the past 10 years, some places have been experimenting with new flavors; to me, these tend to be acceptable if based in hot or BBQ flavors. If you're ever in Buffalo, this place is near the airport, and are currently my favorite wings ever:
Hot BBQ. I will begrudingly admit their Lemon Pepper wings are amazing as well.
