Ok my nutrition gurus! When out with friends. Your thoughts on eating 2-3 chicken wings?

I can't eat more than 2. I get the naked ones and eat no skin.

You may not be able to eat that much, depending on how far you are out from surgery. But in any event, I think the real problem is that most wings are dredged in flour and dipped in a high carb sauce of some kind (BBQ, honey chipotle, etc). And then most people will dip them into a super high calorie, high carb dressing or sauce of some sort. If you are going to a restaurant, look up nutrition information in advance and make sure it fits into your daily goals. For example, 3 standard wings from Hooters (no dips or crumbles or anything) will be:

375 calories

24 grams of carbs

22 grams of fat

20 grams of Protein

Do your research.

Plan ahead and you won't have any nasty surprises.

You can have anything-----when cleared for "all foods"

AND

You plan ahead.

PS: Chickens do NOT have "fingers".

Frank's has a wing sauce that is low in carbs. If you are sticking to low carb and healthy fats your good. Grill the chicken wings with a rub, and dip once done in the sauce, then back to the grill! Vinegar will tenderize it and flavor it. Dip into low cal dressing!

These treats help us keep on plan. If it's a social time, once in a while. I've mixed blue cheese into avocado and added a little salt and it was great!

Tasty bites is all we have now! Make them count to curb fatty high cal cravings!

I dust them with an initial layer of Mad Hunky and then some Plowboy's Yardbird rub on top. Best wing rubs I've used.

I'll try any sauce. Lately, though.....my favorite is Rufus Teague sauces. I don't worry about the carbs in the sauce as I'm only eating 3-4 drummettes and don't go really heavy on the sauce.

My favorite are the drummettes...

Omg @@Dub i am salivating just looking at those wings... drool... well since you prefer the drumstick part... i would be happy to fly half way across the world for the left over midwings lol.. yum...

Glad you liked them.

Wings.....to me....are better than ribs. Certainly easier and quicker to prep and cook.

So much variety can be imparted by different rubs and sauces.

These teriyaki wings were fairly decent....

These were never sauced.....just the good rub combination...
