I love boneless buffalo wings, if only they weren't such HUGE calorie bombs. Normally I try to be good and avoid them, but sometimes I give in to temptation. Unfortunately, the last time I went out and indulged, they were so greasy that I felt sick after eating only half. Reheating the rest a few days later showed me how much oil cooked out of them in the oven. Yuck
My question is, does anyone have any secret weapon boneless buffalo wing recipes? Something that is still crispy and spicy, but not dripping grease?

    Someone posted this a while back - they are to die for and I think they're about 120 Cals per roll. They are SOOOOO good and will definitely satisfy your buffalo wing craving!

    I coat chicken breasts in Panko crumbs, and add a stuffing/filling (either pound the breasts flat and roll them, or cut a pocket and fill it) made of buffalo sauce, panko crumbs, lowfat ranch and Neufchatel (like cream cheese, but naturally lower in fat) cheese, drizzle more sauce on top, then bake.

    I eat BIG servings of chicken, so one 8oz breast with the stuffing is 413 calories.
    Carbs 22
    Fat 12
    Protein 58
    Sodium 450 (depending on the sauce... some is higher in sodium)

    Half that if you eat a 4 oz serving. :wink:

    Not sure how this would work for boneless wings, but this is how I cook bone-in wings. Take the wings and put them in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 10 minutes. Remove and pat dry with paper towels, place on a cooling rack over a paper towel lined sheet pan, let cool an hour in the fridge. Remove the paper towels, place sheet pan on middle rack and bake them at 425 for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for 20-30 minutes more. By steaming them first, it removes a lot of fat and then baking them this way makes them taste crunchy not mushy like most baked wings. Then toss in the sauce of your choosing.

    I tried this and it tasted pretty good:

    I used boneless skinless chicken breasts..baked them plain..

    Then diced them and put them in a frying pan that I sprayed with Pam. I sauteed (i guess thats the right word) them for a little then added some KC Masterpeice Buffalo Chicken Marinade (I used 1 TBSP for every 2 oz) and then let it simmer...Tasted JUST like Buffalo wings...
