Buffalo Chicken Dip traces its origins back to the iconic Buffalo chicken wing. Legend has it that the original Buffalo wing was created in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, by Teressa Bellissimo. As the story goes, she concocted the dish using leftover chicken wings, deep-frying them and tossing them in a sauce made from hot sauce and butter. This simple yet flavorful creation gained popularity locally and eventually spread nationwide.
