Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wraps
A Taste of Buffalo in a Wrap
Buffalo chicken, a beloved American classic, originated in Buffalo, New York, at the Anchor Bar. While traditionally served as wings, the iconic flavor profile of tangy buffalo sauce and creamy blue cheese has found its way into countless dishes. These Buffalo Chicken Wraps offer a convenient and satisfying way to enjoy this flavor combination.
The History of Buffalo Sauce
The story goes that in 1964, Teressa Bellissimo, co-owner of the Anchor Bar, created buffalo wings on a whim to feed her son and his friends. She tossed chicken wings in a homemade hot sauce and served them with blue cheese dressing and celery. The rest, as they say, is history.

Wraps are a versatile and portable meal option. They're easy to customize with your favorite fillings and sauces, making them perfect for a quick lunch, picnic, or on-the-go snack. These buffalo chicken wraps offer a lighter and less messy alternative to traditional buffalo wings.
