3 Easy, Quick and Healthy Chicken Wing Recipes




Everyone knows that, when it comes to chicken, wings are the best. Treat your yourself by cooking any of these 3 unique dishes.

Dish 1: Savour Cold Brew Wings
Steps:
  1. Set oven to 420 degrees F.
  2. Cut excess fat and large pieces of skin from the wings using a sharp knife. This is important to reduce the amount of calories. Don't cut the protein. You can cut the calories of each chicken wing by up to 15 calories. If you eat 10 wings that's 150 fat calories you saved.
  3. Add the ingredients for the rub into a food processor. Blend until it becomes powder with a few pieces of coffee grounds.
  4. Place about a pound of the wings in a large bowl, and add a tablespoon of the rub mixture to the bowl. Add a few pinches of sea salt and pepper and half tablespoon of olive oil. Mix it all together. Repeat until all of the wings have been covered
  5. Place the wings on a baking rack.
  6. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes at 420 degrees F. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the amount of chicken.

Ingredients:
  • Drummettes. Fat cut off.
  • Coffee beans 1/3 cut
  • Smoked paprika - 2 tablespoons  
  • Cayenne- 1 tablespoon
  • Cinnamon- 1 tablespoon
  • Coconut sugar- 1 to 1 and a half tablespoons
  • Extra-virgin olive oil- 2 tablespoons

The truth about the nutrition of chicken wings

I bet when you're eating a nice, tender and saucy chicken wing you're not thinking about how it was made in the factories. If you knew more about the nutritional stats of chicken wings you would definitely think twice before ordering them. In just one small chicken wing alone, there is 81 calories. Keeping in mind you don't just eat chicken wings single. On an average serving, you would receive about 15 chicken wings. 81 calories multiply by the 15 you received and that's 1,215 calories for just one portion of chicken wings. The minimum calorie intake a day for women is 1,200 calories for men it's 1,800 calories. Within a healthy, balanced diet, a man needs around 2500 calories a day and for a woman, that figure is around 2,000 calories a day. It's not the chicken itself, but the stuff you put on it. Naked chicken wings are usually fried which adds a lot to the fat and calorie content. You are getting protein from the chicken wings but the skin is very bad for you, even if its fried or not because the fat is under the skin of chicken. However, there are other options to making healthier recipes for chicken wings. I think its safe to say that chicken wings aren't the healthiest and should be avoided. They do taste real good though.
