Buffalo wings originated at Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. They're
chicken wings deep-fried and served coated in a buttery hot (as in
spicy) sauce.

Most places that serve wings cut the wing into two pieces. The piece
that looks like a tiny drumstick is the drumette.

One note I should have made in commenting on cooking time is that I
*don't* cut the wing into pieces. Using a whole wing is probably the
reason they can stand such a long time in the oven. Making just the
drumettes should require a shorter oven time.
