Default Where did the term "Buffalo Chicken" come from?

I saw a show on Discovery or Travel or Food...one of them,
that had the annual Buffalo chicken wings festival or something
like that. A big annual event with wings and a contest anyway.

One of the principals, NOT an outsider, said it was the only
reason anyone would want to come to Buffalo. I haven't got
that far north so I can't say but it did seem a bit rude to
talk about your own town that way.
