6. They aren't smaller than chicken wings...not the ones I've had. They are made from chickens, but originated in BUFFALO, New York :)
7. Of course, you DO know that the wings are cut into and separated at the joints... don't you? However, sometimes you can find them with just the outer tips cut off.
8. Buffalo wings are chicken wings. The "Buffalo" refers to the style of vinegar-based hot sauce the wings are coated in before serving. Depending on where you order them from, they are either big or small - obviously a bar and Grill with Buffalo wings on special is going to have smaller, cheaper ones than a restaurants that charges three to four times as much, as a regular entree/appetizer item.
