Embarrassing Food Question

OFF TOPIC

Okay, I know this might be hard to believe, but I'm NOT as stupid as I look.

I know what a chicken is.

I know what a buffalo is.

But I do NOT know what "buffalo chicken" is.

Tonight, for supper, my better half and I had a buffalo chicken pizza for supper.

It was tasty.

Now, can someone please tell me what it was that I actually ate? I seriously have no idea what a 'buffalo chicken' is, let alone a buffalo chicken pizza.

I think I'm not happy that I actually ate this. I think I'm going to 'ralf' any minute now.

Not a New Yorker I see
Out in the city of Buffalo NY came a snack called Buffalo Wings.
What they are are chicken wings deep fried and then covered in a "Buffalo" style hot sauce.
Buffalo chicken is supposed to be chicken marinated in that sauce.

Well dang, eh!

Hooda Thunkit!

Thanks for enlightening me! I was thinking buffalo as in where the deer and the buffalo play, not a city.

Actually, it was kinda tasty if the truth be known!

  They are pretty good. When it comes to chicken wings I prefer Garlic Parmesan. But I do like the Buffalo Chicken Pizza every now and then.
  
  Thanks

  Sorry to hear something you liked upset you. Everyone at my home loves buffalo wings except for one person that doesn't like spicy foods. I think a lot depends on the hot (pepper) sauce and any additional spices in the mix used to coat the chicken.
  
  Thanks

Are you sure, Thom? I heard it was ground buffalo innards seasoned with powdered Amazon spice toad and other seasonings.

BTW, I believe the original Buffalo wings coating was butter and Frank's hot sauce? (I like Frank's better than Tobasco)

  That's what I remember hearing. Equal parts butter to Red Hot, I believe. I'm a Frank's Red Hot man, myself.

  Served with blue cheese dressing and a celery stalk, if I'm not mistaken.

  Yep, although etiquette differs from place to place regarding how to eat the blue cheese and celery. Most old school establishments frown on dipping anything but the celery in the cheese. Dipping the wing in the cheese is a serious guy code violation akin to asking your mommy to kiss your booboo.

  Lots of people do eat them, but I never will...it's a man-to-man cross-species thing.

The story goes that a bar or some such once had some old chicken wings, nobody would want, and apparently the only thing they saw they had that was appropriate was franks hot sauce. Apparently they felt they needed SOMETHING... They mixed the two, and BUFFALO [STYLE] chicken wings. You see, THEY were located in buffalo New York.
