Suggestions: * For this lower-calorie recipe, skinless wings are used. In order to more easily remove the skin from the wings, select regular chicken wings versus the smaller buffalo wings.
Regular chicken wings, approx wt:
With skin/bone: 3.2 oz each
With skin, no bone: 1.7 oz each
Without skin/bone: 1.5 oz each
Serves: 8 person(s)
Yield: 8 x 3-wing servings
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 30 mins
Extra Time: 7 hrs (or overnight, for refrigeration)
Ingredients:
Traditional chicken wings, although tasty, are high in calories and fat. And, due to their small size, many can easily be gobbled up without notice. Add to that, dunks of high-fat blue cheese dip, and traditional wings score loads of calories.
Instead, this Recipe Makeover is flavorful yet seriously trims the calories and fat by simply removing the wing skin, skipping the butter often used in recipes, and adding an optional light dip on the side. Enjoy! | Recipe Makeover |
