Buffalo Wings are a staple in the Black Community and in MANY eateries! Can't get enough of them😋😋😋😋

[@tawnyh8878]

I like buffalo wings, but I don’t like the blue cheese. I just use melted cheese.

[@KyleKing-vx4by]

John and Paul Young! John Young actually brought the recipe to Buffalo, NY from D.C., (Mumbo wings) but he put a bigger twist to it more kick to it! 🎉🎉🎉😊 The Anchor Bar didn't discover anything all they did is use John Young recipe, and cut the wings in half. John Young is the founder of The Buffalo Wings!

I’m from DC, so I know Mumbo chicken; and I worked at Hooter’s so I know buffalo wings

There was "Shabazz Chicken Wings" before all of them.

How long have we been frying chicken? How long have we been covering up spoiled meat with spicy sauces? How long have poor people been eating less desirable cuts of meat? Buffalo wings are as old as us.

Just like oxtails! Now you can find oxtails (cow tails) at any restaurant. With that being said, oxtails use to be $1.00 per pound in the 90's, $0.50 per pound in the 80's. They are now $10.00 per pound now

We are the first people of course we created everything.

The anchor bar owners thought that Mr. John Young wasn’t coming back to Buffalo. Rip King John 🙌🏾

I wish they never stole us. But anywho, they didn’t steal Europe, which is where they should be making it great. And I should be in Africa helping make it great AGAIN. And the Americas should be left to the Real Americans aka native Americans.

Nearest Green (Black slave) needs a video. The real creator of Jack Daniels Whiskey. Jack Daniel's son stole the recipe from Nearest Green.

Every kid should be getting buffalo wings at the end of school term. Give back and stop 🛑 TAKING.

[@christophermitchum6829]

Like gumbo... thousands of recipes, all good or not 🤔🤬😎

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I like only Dumm Stick or whatever u call them. With a good ranch, not that nasty stuff.. wing-stop has best and cpk has the best..but normally I love chicken strips.. #DisneyDiva ❤

[@douglasfur3808]

Henry Perry King of KC Barbeque deserves a video. Super Bowl and coverage of the KC teams name on Indian Country Today got me thinking. Drop one letter and you have the KC Chefs. However a KC Chef would cook barbeque. Then I found Henry Perry the King of Barbeque... Well why not the KC Kings. It drops the insult to Indigenous people, and respects KC and Black Culture. And The Chop... Well they're good on the grill and drop the HiYu HooHah tune and put in a good jazz or blues rhythm, Cha Cha the Blues or....

Very little staple American food not made by black people.

[@beefweiner]

a marinade of chicken 1736 - the dictionarium domesticum by Nathan Bailey. (England) breaded and fried chicken wings more than 100 years before you started, to think that no one added sauce for 224 years is a bit much.. sorry buffalo 🤷‍♀

[@MissJB1]

Stopped what he did in England doesn't compare to Mumble wings (DC) or Buffalo Wings because I guarantee you that it was a tasteless hot mess! What black people did to fried chicken recipes, nobody can compare! To be honest it was probably the Africans slaves in Britain who was actually cooking that fried chicken. Because British can't cook now so what make you think they could cook back then! Really Just Stop! 😅😂😂🤣🤣😙

[@kibaanazuka332]

Probably be fair to say many different people had a hand in the creation of modern chicken wings. Tho food history is honestly just very messy as who is "x inventor of x food".

[@godbodyrock]

yeah right...ain.t NOBODY checkin' for England cuisine my friend...save that...

The man put the wings on the map. Thanks John Young Family.
