Buffalo Wings
Wings tossed in the original Anchor Bar-style sauce of hot sauce, butter, and a splash of vinegar - the vinegar is what the original 1964 recipe calls out as crucial for cutting the richness of the butter, and deep-frying is the traditional method, though baking is a common lighter alternative.
