Who doesn’t like buffalo wings?
Seriously, buffalo wings are the yummiest invention of appetizer since the mozzarela stick. They are fabulous. The only thing that totally bites is that they’re full of calories, fat, and grease.
Well….
NOT THIS RECIPE!!
These babies are cooked in boiling water then broiled with a yummy buffalo sauce {which includes my ALL TIME FAVORITE – Frank’s Red Hot. I put that stuff on EVERY. THING} These are super simple and sure to be crowd pleasers at your next get together. Here’s the recipe:
Broiled Buffalo Wings:
(recipe adapted from Ellie Krieger)
2 pounds chicken wings
1/4 c. cayenne pepper sauce, preferably Frank’s Red Hot, plus more for serving
1Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp. low-sodium chicken broth
3 large celery ribs, cut into sticks
Preheat the broiler. Place the wings in a large pot and fill the pot with water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then continue to boil for 10 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cayenne pepper sauce, lemon juice and broth. Reserve.
Transfer the wings to a broiler pan and broil 5 to 6 inches from the flame, until the skin begins to blister and brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the wings over and broil 4 to 5 minutes more.
Transfer the wings to a baking sheet, drizzle with the reserved sauce and toss well to coat.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 minute to heat the wings and sauce together.
Serve with extra hot sauce on the side and celery sticks. If you want a yummy low-cal sauce to dip them in, try this:
Blue Cheese Dip:
(adapted from Ellie Krieger)
1/4 c. plain greek-style non-fat yogurt
2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
1 tsp. white wine vinegar
1/3 c. crumbled blue cheese (1.5 oz)
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar and blue cheese. Mash any very large chunks of blue cheese with the back of a spoon to integrate the cheese into the dip. YUM.
