Buffalo Wild Wings Nutrition


Buffalo wild wings, the name itself makes the mouth water! I mean, those who love non veg food, particularly chicken, are sure to agree with the statement I made above. And those lot who ain't aware of what they are all about, well, although the name is Buffalo, this one is not buffalo meat or something, rather contradictory to this, it has been the local chicken recipe from Buffalo city in New York, for a long time now. As the name is clearly indicative, these are pieces from the wing section of the chicken which are usually fried and coated with spicy sauce or served with the same. Well, it's better not to describe and imagine any further!

Now that you have seen the table, let us elaborate a little bit on all the nutrition values. If you check the values properly, you will realize that the major nutrition and the calories come from the proteins and fats and there is hardly or very negligible amounts of carb present in them. This is quite expected since these are animal proteins and thus have to be high in the corresponding values.
  • Now, the calorie intake from 1 buffalo wild wing is approx. 90 which means it is quite an amount although each wing size is pretty small. These have been a very popular chicken appetizer, very high on calories mainly because they are fried however, could be healthy options if they are grilled or baked. So this means they can be included in the diet plans as well.
  • Next, the cholesterol levels are pretty low which means that they can be included in the diet on regular basis. The best way to go about it is by baking them. Avoiding the calories due to the oil would be great in such a situation. Lesser cholesterol is always better for a healthy body and thus a benefit!
  • The last thing that remains is the amount of sodium present in them. Sodium is an essential mineral in the body that helps control the influx of the nutrients within cells and basically the acid-alkali balance in the body. So this accounts for one more use of consuming buffalo wild wings.
Now that you know the nutrition values, here's a recipe on how to make baked chicken wings at home. Go through and try it out.
Ingredients
