These buffalo wings just plain get it!
Buffalo wings with a difference!
Anyone who has tried homemade buffalo wings will know how delicious they are. Those deep fried chicken wings dipped into a blue cheese or ranch style dressing can be quite addictive.
A few days ago I decided to come up with a somewhat lighter version. I visited my local halal butcher and purchased a kilo of skinless chicken wings and placed them in a marinade for a couple of days.
The funny thing was, just after doing so, I received a shipment from one of my sponsors Farmer’s Choice. They too sent me a couple of bags of chicken wings to use in my recipes.
Not one to spend time skinning buffalo wings, I decided to leave the skin on and added them to the other chicken wings.
The resulting meal was a delicious feast. For us adults, it was a light low fat dinner. For the kids who got the skin on version, it was a meal they want to have again and again. Don’t tell my wife but when she wasn’t looking a did sneak a couple of the not so low fat wings.
Instead of a fatty blue cheese dressing, I served my buffalo wings with a low fat coriander raita. The recipe is right here if you want to give it a go.
