Beware of the Wings!


We're coming up on Superbowl weekend, and everyone knows that all respectable Superbowl parties have chicken wings.   


Years back, our family found an easy way to cook chicken wings in the oven using just a little salt and pepper and a ton of Louisiana Hot Sauce.    It is an easy meal to make, and the results are incredible.   We've created many parties over the years as an excuse to eat these wings, and the Superbowl wouldn't be complete without them.


Wings are so tiny, and full of protein, so they have to be healthy, right?


Oh, how I wish!    Each wing is approximately 100 calories, and that is if they are cooked by themselves, without any butter, oil or sauce.    How many wings can you eat in one sitting?   Five?  Ten?  More?  


Ten wings plain wings without dipping sauce would be 1000 calories.   Yikes!  


I'm still making the wings this year,  and I'll still eat some too.   This time, though, I'll be going in knowing those little wings aren't as innocent as they seem.
