Spicy chicken wings are a very popular dish that has its roots in American cuisine, especially in the city of Buffalo, New York, where they were created in 1964 at the famous Anchor Bar. Over time, this recipe has spread all over the world and has been adapted with different levels of spiciness and accompaniments. In Latin America, spicy chicken wings are known simply as "alitas picantes" or sometimes "wangas" in Mexico, while in other countries like Argentina or Chile they are usually called "alitas con salsa", highlighting the spicy touch that characterizes them.
This dish is ideal for sharing at gatherings and sporting events, being a highly appreciated appetizer or starter. The combination of the crispy texture of the chicken with the spicy sauce and butter creates a perfect balance between intense flavor and smoothness, making them irresistible for lovers of food with a spicy touch.
