Skinny Super Bowl Snacks: Buffalo Wings with Bleu Cheese Dipping Sauce


If I had to choose only one snack to eat for the Super Bowl (or any other football game, for that matter), it would be Buffalo wings. I want them to be crispy and smothered in a sauce on the hotter side of the Scoville scale. I want to cool them off by dunking them into a pool of Bleu cheese dip. I want an endless mountain of fresh cut carrots and celery to snack on while my mouth is cooling off in between wings. Luckily, these taste just as good baked as they do fried, and are quick and easy to make.

Directions:
  • Season wings with salt and pepper, then broil for 10 minutes per side, until outsides are crispy and juices run clear. Toss in hot sauce, and serve while still hot with dipping sauce (recipe follows).
