Buffalo Wings a healthy version
I think I saw this in a Shape Magazine. I do love Buffalo Wings but they are so high in fat and calories between frying and the butter in the sauce. This was a delicious low calorie version. We are not big blue cheese fans so served it with bottle ranch dressing. Next time I will make my own ranch dip with greek yogurt- lemon juice and fresh chopped herbs. Kevin loved these to eat while cheering his favorite team football team on! The creepy gnome was a gift from my sister!

2 lbs chicken wings
1/2 c Hot Sauce
1 T Butter ,melted
2 1/2 t Cider Vinegar
1 T Honey
Preheat oven to 450. Put defrosted chicken wings into pot of water that covers them by an inch. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 min. Drain and pat dry. The recipe has you put them skin side down on parchment paper on a baking sheet - I prefer placing them on a rack so more fat drips off and they get crispier! Bake 25 min and then turn over and bake 5 more.
Meanwhile combine Hot sauce, butter, honey and vinegar. Toss wings into mixture I actually then put them back into the oven for another 5 min to bake sauce on
They were awesome and with the honey a little touch of sweetness. we will be having these again soon!

I feel the same way about wings! I LOVE them but don't often want to waste calories on them. This is a great option! Maybe I will make these for the superbowl!
ReplyDeleteDuring the summer, my dad buys the pre-baked wings from Costco, tosses them in extra, sauce, and throws them on the grill - another fry-less option!
