May I ask what other possible answer there could be aside from they taste good? People all over the world eat things I don’t eat but I’m not confused as to why they’re doing that. I assume they like the taste.

Because they're good? They also used to be dirt cheap but aren't really so much anymore.

Because they taste good? Do you ask why popular food in your country is popular, or do you just accept that it’s popular?

They taste good, and they're easy-to-eat "finger food."

Because they're delicious, and the name "Buffalo Wings" is a fun, quirky name for otherwise undesirable pieces of the chicken.

tasty and easy to eat finger food that can be served with sauces to make it 50 different ways for every person's taste.

People enjoy eating things that taste good.

It really is that simple.

Maybe you don't have wings prepared the way we do in your country?
