    Im sorry to say, chicken wings could quite possibly be the worst thing for you. Its the absolute fattest part of the chicken. Its really all fat. Then they are covered in sugary sauce or fatty sauce. They aren’t chicken breast, they’re the dark meat covered in skin. The dipped in delicious butter/oil rich buffalo sauce. The best things ever…

      That’s often the recipe. However, there is a way to make it healthier. Remove the skin, skip all the sauces, boil the wings in plain water, chop the meat into pieces, and sprinkle them on a salad. Use fat-free yoghurt as a salad dressing to make it taste better. The good thing is, you can fill your stomach with this without gaining weight.

          Fat and sugar are tasty. That gives us an evolutionary advantage to prioritise foods that are good for survival in a hunter-gatherer society. Nowadays, though, these taste receptors are not really helping me stay healthy.

      I’m only slightly ashamed to admit I had buffalo wings for breakfast with oil rich buffalo sauce this morning.
