Why do they call some chicken wings "Buffalo Wings"?

I don't see the association between a chicken and a buffalo. Thanks

1. because they originated in buffalo ny
2. Because of the buffalo sauce.
3. They do it to make it sound good and tomake people buy it and see if it tastes like buffalo
4. They have buffalo sauce on them.
5. A buffalo wing, hot wing or wing is a chicken wing section (drumette or flat) that is traditionally fried unbreaded and then coated in sauce. Classic Buffalo-style chicken wing sauce is composed of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter.[1] Buffalo wings are traditionally served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.[2] Buffalo wings are named after the culinary dish from Buffalo, New York.[3] The residents of Buffalo generally refer to them as "wings" or "chicken wings" rather than "Buffalo wings."
6. For two reasons, they originated in buffalo and they have a spicy "buffalo" sauce on them...
