User Comments:
"Absolutely love these wings! They're so crispy and flavorful. The blue cheese and celery are the perfect complements."
"I was hesitant to try healthier buffalo wings, but these are amazing. They don't taste any different from traditional wings."
"These wings are the perfect level of spicy. They're not too hot, but they definitely have a kick."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of hot pepper sauce.
- If you don't have boneless skinless chicken wings, you can use regular chicken wings and remove the skin and bones yourself.
- To make the wings ahead of time, bake them until they are cooked through but not crispy. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in the oven or microwave until crispy.
