Best Chicken Wings in Frederick MD
Recently, in our house, we have designated Friday nights as our take-out night.
So this past Friday we chose to get chicken wings.
Therefore it was very important that we chose wisely and got the best of the best!
The History of Chicken Wings
Did you know that the buffalo-style chicken wing became a ‘thing’ back in 1964?
Mmm hmm. That really doesn’t even seem like that long ago!
The recipe was invented by the owner, Teressa Bellissimo, of a Buffalo, NY restaurant called Anchor Bar.
Yup! That’s the same Anchor Bar we have right here in little ole Frederick!

You killed me with all the pictures of the “crab” deviled eggs!! What’s funny is that I’m making crab cakes tonight–should have made the eggs instead, and the pictures of those “wings,” whew. I’m so hungry! Wings are one of my favorite foods. If I were stranded on a desert island, that’s my choice of food I could eat every day, ha!
Great articles!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man! Crab cakes sound good too! The crab deviled eggs are amazing. And the wings too!
