Tomorrow during the Super Bowl, Americans will eat an estimated 1.25 billion chicken wings. Pull up a chair, grab some napkins, and leave the ranch dressing at home, because Joe Ray brought back some wing wisdom from Buffalo, N.Y., birthplace of the spicy snack.  We met on Main Street at Frank and Teressa’s Anchor Bar, which is, slightly debatably, where wings were invented. The gist of the most common folk history is that the bartender’s drunken friends came in late one night in 1964 looking for something to ward off a pending hangover. All Teressa had in the fridge were some wings, hot sauce and butter. “Truth is, nobody wants to admit how simple making wings is,” said [chef Andy] Denne, while ordering a few. “There’s no secret. You deep fry ’em ’til they’re cooked, then toss ’em in hot sauce and butter.”
