Buffalo wings

[Subtle_badger]

Rich in natural fats, low in carbohydrates. Baked wings tossed in buttered hot sauce and served with homemade blue cheese (dolcelatte) mayonnaise. Crunchy celery.

😋

Edit: had to add the picture. Could have sworn it was there when I posted it.

Chicken wings and blue cheese sauce is a match made in heaven... they look delicious!

Yeah, they were.

I ate nearly a kg of wings that night.

(I love low carb, my weight was lower the next morning that it had been before my feast)

The recipe I followed was this one seriouseats.com/the-best-bu...

It's brilliant. I didn't realise what buffalo wings should be like, as I have never ordered them at a bar. The recipe worked, and the chicken was different to any I have cooked in my oven before.

It is madness isn't it! Same with me - sometimes I'm eating out, and eat more than I usually would, but then find the scales still drop the next morning because I've chosen low carb food. This old body has finally learnt it has a ready supply of fat stores to use up!

We just call them "wings" 'round here. Never saw baking powder added before. Any idea what that's about?

[Subtle_badger in reply to Nothing_but_books]

"Buffalo wings" is the name of a very specific American dish, from Buffalo, New York; deep fried unbreaded chicken wings, coated with a mixture of butter and hot sauce and dipped in blue cheese dressing, served with celery.

If I had prepared them any other way, I would just call them "wings" too. Eg marinate in soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chilli before roasting 😋

Baked chicken wings are delicious, but have quite a different appearance, taste and texture to fried. The baking powder (and salt and drying) is to aid the browning and crispness of the chicken skin.
