Buffalos Don't Even Have Wings

Ok.  I have a silly declaration to make.  Its not monumental or anything but I would just like the world to know the truth.  Buffalo wings are buffalo wings.  If said buffalo wings do not contain the bone portion, they are still buffalo wings.  They are then called boneless buffalo wings. All buffalo wings are chicken but just because a buffalo wing does not contain a bone does not make it simply chicken.  If anything, it is the sauce that defines a buffalo wing.  If one orders buffalo wings, bone in or bone out, and chooses to get barbecue sauce on the wings, then they are simply wings or chicken.  It is the buffalo sauce that makes them buffalo wings.  So if one orders boneless wings but with buffalo sauce and another orders bone in wings with just plain barbecue sauce who is being more true to the buffalo wing consumption?  This will go down in history as one of life's great conundrums.  Which came first the chicken or the egg?  If a tree falls in the empty forest does it make a noise?  Is it the sauce or the bone that makes a buffalo wing?  I vote sauce.  So while I consumed boneless buffalo chicken wings, others were partaking in eating barbecue chicken wings.  'Nough said!

This blog is dedicated to my father-in-law.  If they were real buffalo wings, let's face it, you would have been sweating.  Mine were just as much buffalo wings as yours were.  That's my story and I'm stickin' by it.
