The Buffalo Bills have released a video of the 2024 NFL Draft class indulging in local chicken wings for the first time.
The first chicken wing is part of any new Buffalo inhabitant’s indoctrination into the city, generally occurring sometime between their first Labatt Blue and first Lake effect snowstorm. The cultural acclimation of the Buffalo Bills’ 2024 NFL Draft class is well underway, with the team recently uploading a video of its rookies indulging in local chicken wings for the first time.Buffalo, with several of them being…hesitant about the presence of blue cheese on their plates.
The video is generally humorous, with linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio’s wing-eating technique and offensive tackle Travis Clayton’s ringing endorsement of the dish potentially being the funniest parts. The chicken wing—incorrectly referred to as the ‘Buffalo wing’ outside of Western New York—is a regional delicacy, a not-necessarily-nutritious-but-oh-so-delicious dish that was invented in the city in the mid-20th century. The origin story told in the city centers around Teressa Bellissimo, the then-owner of the local ‘Anchor Bar’ who allegedly deep-fried generally discarded chicken parts for some hungry bar patrons in the mid-1960s.
, these are just the first of many chicken wings these players will likely enjoy throughout their respective stints in Buffalo.
