I crave wings like most grown men crave wings and I like to blame that on my husband because I didn't really find a true love for the food until we were together. Wings happen to be one of his favorite go to "splurge" meals and I usually join in on the festivities. You aren't surprised are you? And because I love them so much I decided that I needed to make them at home and that way I could make them a little healthier. So I started making grilled buffalo chicken wings and wedge salads for a side.
I have told you before, but just in case you didn't know, we have an awesome farmer's market where I live and one of the chicken farmers sells skinless wings! They are so delicious and with the skin gone it cuts down on fat immediately. I get them almost every week because I love them so much. If you can't find skinless, don't worry you are still going to healthier with this recipe! Instead of frying the wings, I grill them and then instead of French fries or some other unhealthy side we usually end up getting, I make a salad inspired by the blue cheese dressing and celery served with traditional wings.
It's the perfect light summer meal and it satisfies that wing craving that I get so much and I don't have to feel bad about it at all. If you are a little skeptic, it's ok just give them a try and see for yourself!
