All the flavor, none of the mess!

Wingless WingsYou're hunched over the coffee table, gathered around the television, cheering for your favorite football team. And what is everyone munching on? Chicken wings, of course! They're a football game staple.

 

And while nobody argues with how great they taste, you have to admit that they're a bit messy. You end up with a stack of messy napkins and a pile of bones to deal with.

 

There's a better way to satisfy your wing craving without making a huge mess: wingless wings!

 

They're really not wings. Wingless wings are actually boneless chicken breast tenders, flavored with all of the seasonings that make wings so delicious. Because they're boneless, they're much, much neater to eat, and when you're in the living room, that matters!

 

Wingless Chicken Wings

A Brookshire's Best Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken tenders or boneless breast halves, cut into strips or chunks

2 tsp olive oil

3 Tbs bottled wing sauce or hot sauce

1/4 cup bottled reduced-fat ranch or blue cheese salad dressing, or barbecue sauce

carrot and celery sticks for garnish

 

Directions:

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces or if desired, cut into strips and thread onto skewers. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook the chicken pieces until well done (or bake in the oven). Remove chicken from the pan and toss with wing sauce. Serve with ranch, blue cheese or barbecue sauce for dipping, and carrot and celery sticks for garnish

 

Serves 4 as a snack

 

Nutritional note: most wings come deep fried, and are tossed in a mixture of melted butter and wing sauce. This recipe uses only 2 teaspoons olive oil, and omits the melted butter entirely. This saves over 25 grams of fat per serving!
