You would not usually call chicken wings a very lean meal because of the quantity of fat in the skin. To feel less guilty, I try removing as much fat as possible before cooking them. Trim as much fat as possible from the middle portion and drumstick of the wing.
This chicken wing recipe is very sweet because of the sauce. When I make this recipe, I like to split the wings in two portions. For one half, I follow this recipe. For the second half, I make them spicy. I cook the wing longer in the frying pan. When they are done, I place them in a bowl with a cover to which I add a generous portion of Red Hot sauce before shaking them.
