In the Buffalo, New York area, the local residents do not refer to them as "Buffalo Wings". They are usually referred to as "Wings" or "Chicken Wings". The appellation "Buffalo" is now commonly applied to foods other than wings, such as Chicken fingers, Chicken nuggets, Popcorn Chicken, et cetera, that are seasoned with the Buffalo style sauce or variations of it.
