For my fellow wing-lovers:

I'm having chicken wings tonight for dinner, per my Husband's request...and my personal addiction to them lol. I've already had some last week...in the "normal" way, so I decided to see the stats before I get all wing crazy again.


~Homemade - Fried Chicken Wing, 10 wings, meat and skin~

Calories- 1,030

Carbs- 8g

Protein- 84g

Fat- 71g

Sugar- 0g

Sodium- 250mg


*VERSUS*


~Chicken - Wing, meat only, cooked, fried, 10 wings, bone and skin removed~

Calories- 422

Carbs- 0g

Protein- 60g

Fat- 18g

Sugar- 0g

Sodium- 182mg


Totally removing the skin from them :) Also, for sauce, we use Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce which has no calories or fat, just sodium. Sometimes people get caught up by using butter & hot sauce to make a sauce, when this is such a friendlier alternative!

Here's the info on the sauce!

    O how I love chicken wings! I think my favorite part may be the crispy skin, will have to try them naked.

    Perhaps I have a dirty mind, but wings were not what I thought you were talking about when I read the title! :blushing:

    Wangs should not be fried. Wings? Yes, please.

    I was afraid I was the only one who assumed something else entirely when reading the title. Glad I wasn't! Oh, and wings are delish.

    Totally awesome. I like to cut chicken breast into small bit size pieces and fry them and they are easier to me than taking skin off of wings. I am going to look for the sauce you recommended. I usually use Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce it is tasty, but it does have butter in it I do believe.

    Quick idea I heard from a coworker (have not tried it myself yet but do plan to) glazing the shicken with oil before throwing it to bake in the oven. Apparently it gives it that crispy taste and can imagine its lighter on the calories then you can just cover it with the sauce when you serve........

    I had to run and check google to see these nutrition facts. I am amazed that it is 0 calories. Still don't quite get it, the number one ingredient is vinegar followed closely by canola oil....these two things have calories how can this sauce not?

    I love Frank's Red Hot Buffalo sauce. I don't know how they make it taste buttery and still be fat free but God bless them for it.

    Do this already, but it has a different flavor. Taking off fat & skin doesn't qualify as "wasting" to me :)

    Thank you!

    It took me about 11mo., and I've been maintaining my goal weight for over a year now, so it can be done! To lose, I did a 1200cal diet (low carb- 35%, low fat 30%, low sugar, low sodium-1500mg, high protein- 35%). I exercised some (tae bo, swimming, sports), but my main focus was caloric intake! To maintain I consume between 1400-1700 daily, with the same macronutrient percentages :)

    It has to do with what is allowed on nutrition labeling. They make a serving size really small, and if the calories/serving are less than 5, then they can round down to zero. It's pretty misleading, because many people use more than the official serving size. Though, as long as you're not drinking half the bottle or anything, you're not likely going to get so many calories that it actually affects anything.

    At least there's no skin when you're using the butter!

    I really thought this was going to be a discussion about how, when we get smaller, they seem to get bigger...
