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.

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?

"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 πŸ˜‹

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.
