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!

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.
