Ive been trying to figure out what would be healthier.
Trimmed , steamed , baked chicken wings.
chicken tenders coated in one egg, and two tbsp of cornstarch
then breaded in a mix of soy flour and panko bread crumbs.

On paper, it seems the chicken wings would be less calories if the fat from the skin was not included, but if the skin is trimmed, steamed, and backed, i think it might atually be healthier, and way less carbs.

Let me know your thoughts.I got a awesome low cal, low fat buffalo sauce recipe.
 
I think if you remove the sking and bake the wings it sounds like that would be a better option.. the tenders sound yummier though :)

Yeah i trim the skin pretty good.Basicly giving the wings lipo suction..hehe.

But yeah the tenders are very yummy, especially with my special seasoning, and some low calorie bbq sauce, but when you want "buffalo" , nothing beats a wing. I wish i could find nutrition info on trimmed,steamed,baked chicken wings.Unfortunitly the closest i can find is some tyson grilled wings with some kinda seasonings.I forgot the nutrition info but i wasnt impressed.My guess was they were fake grilled.
 
If anyone is interested in the buffalo wing recipe and technique here it is:

6 whole wings tipped,seperated, and trimmed of excess skin (makes 12 wings)

1. Steam wings for 15 minutes.This will keep them moist, and remove fat in the process.Let wings cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.

2. Place wings on a baking rack and bake @425 for 20 minutes.Then flip them and bake for another 20 minutes.Coat with our favorite sauce and serve.

Buffalo sauce recipe:

3 TBSP Texas pete buffalo style chicken wing barbecue sauce
45 Cal,1g Fat, 5g Carb

2 TBSP Smart Squeeze Margarine
10 Cal, 0g Fat, 2g Carb

note: texas pete is on the milder side, and has a unique flavor.If you like a hotter wing, substitute 1 TBSP of texas pete for something like franks redhot, or Louisiana hot sauce.You can also add more smart squeeze margarine if you like an even milder sauce.And you can also add more texas pete if you want a bolder flavor.
