I made wings!

Hubby and I love Buffalo Wild Wings.  Do you ever eat there?  Ugh...it is just SO GOOD!

Well, we are trying to save moola and calories lately, so when I came across this recipe in Redbook, I decided to give it a try.  Usually my first attempts fail, but this one was a success!  We loved it!

Here's what you need -

1/2 cup of flour

1/4 cup of breadcrumbs (I had Italian on hand, they worked great)

2 tsp salt

2 tsp cayenne pepper (we didn't have any of this, so I used Cajun seasoning that we had)

2 egg whites

6 Tbsp hot red pepper sauce (I used Franks)

3 large chicken breasts, cut into small chunks (I made about 30 of them)

2 Tbsp canola oil

2 Tbsp butter or margarine

Celery and carrot sticks

In a shallow dish, combine flour, breadcrumbs, cayenne, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites and 1 Tbsp red pepper sauce.

Dip the chicken tenders in egg mixture.  I let mine marinate for about an hour.  I don't know if it makes a huge difference or not.

Put a large skillet on the stove on medium high heat.  Cover the bottom of the pan with canola oil.

Put the flour mixture in a Tupperware.

Add 1/4 of the chicken, put the lid on, and shake it baby!!

Put the coated chicken in the skillet, and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning at least once.

Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Cook the next batches this way, adding additional oil as necessary.

Heat your butter and the remaining pepper sauce in a large Tupperware bowl in the oven. 

Add the chicken, put the lid on, and shake-a shake-a shake!!

Serve warm with the dressing of your choice.  Hubby doesn't like blue cheese, so we eat ours with ranch :)

Do you have a fave recipe?  I am looking for new things to cook!!
