Food, finally!


So I don't want to brag (yes I do) but I made killer buffalo wings last night. Like, delicious. Fine, I had a little help from the Anchor Bar Restaurant. The Anchor Bar in Buffalo is where wings and their sauce were created. Nowadays the Anchor Bar sells their sauce in supermarkets which is what went on the wings. Still, I was proud of the crispy skin and tender meat and the fact that they were never fried.

Alton Brown taught me how to make these.
1. Rinse and separate wings, cut off tip (use for stock or something).
2. Steam wings (in a pot with boiling water) for about 10 min.
3. Pat wings dry and put in fridge for about an hour.
4. Preheat oven to 425. Put wings on a roasting rack with a pan on bottom to catch drippings and put in oven for 10 min. Then turn wings over and roast for another 10 min.
5. Put wings in bowl, toss with your fave buffalo sauce, enjoy!

Way better for you than frying.

Also, I served them with sauteed kale with garlic and with quinoa salad and it was such a great meal. I am a wing lover to the death but getting them at restaurants is the worst because they're fried and always served with french fries or cole slaw or something super heavy that makes my tummy hurt. No more. Just make your healthier wings, serve them with something light and nutritious and you're set. Whoo-hoo!
