Indeed, they won't be Buffalo Hot Wings, but the might be Wingins.
My family owned and operated a special occasion catering company
(weddings, holiday parties, grand openings and such) back in the
late 1950s and 1960s. They were always trying to come up with
"something different" than what other competing catering companies
were offering. Someone came up a recipe for what they called Wingins,
which were similar to today's Buffalo wings but made with other
sauces, such as BBQ and terriaki. They were a popular menu choice.
