Why do they call some chicken wings "Buffalo Wings"?

I don't see the association between a chicken and a buffalo. Thanks

    A buffalo wing, hot wing or wing is a chicken wing section (drumette or flat) that is traditionally fried unbreaded and then coated in sauce. Classic Buffalo-style chicken wing sauce is composed of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and butter.[1] Buffalo wings are traditionally served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.[2]

    Buffalo wings are named after the culinary dish from Buffalo, New York.[3] The residents of Buffalo generally refer to them as "wings" or "chicken wings" rather than "Buffalo wings."
