What two items are traditionally served with Buffalo wings?

Buffalo wings are traditionally served with celery and blue cheese dressing. The crisp celery offers a cool, crunchy contrast to the hot, vinegary cayenne sauce, while the creamy dressing softens the heat and adds tangy richness.

The pairing is closely associated with Buffalo, New York, where Buffalo-style wings became famous in the 1960s. The Anchor Bar, which claims to have invented the dish, is traditionally said to have served its wings with celery and blue cheese as an accompanying dip.

Carrot sticks are also commonly included, especially in modern restaurant servings, but they do not replace the classic pairing. Ranch dressing is now extremely popular in the United States and is often offered alongside wings, yet blue cheese remains the traditional answer. Buffalo wings themselves are usually fried first and tossed in a sauce made from hot pepper sauce and melted butter.
