Here's a recipe you might like for the buffalo wings: YouTube - Atkins Diet Recipes: Buffalo Wings

I don't fry mine (no fryer). I cook them at 425* for 45 minutes on a cookie sheet with aluminum foil sprayed with Pam (if you don't use the aluminum foil, you'll be scraping the cookie sheet...and cursing me...)

I buy full chicken wings (cheaper). Then cut them as follows: with a butcher knife, hyperextend the small joint and cut off the "tip" wing and discard. I then slice down the fat between the wing and drum (looks like the skin between your thumb and index finger). I then pry apart the wing and drum until the bone on the drum pops out of the wing, then I slice the two pieces apart.

My hot sauce is simple. 2 parts melted butter and three parts Frank's red hot sauce (with some tabasco if I'm in the mood). I buy the huge hot sauce at our wholesale club.

When the wings are done I put them in a bowl and pour the sauce mix over them to coat. If the wings aren't crispy enough, I put them under the broiler for a minute. Usually they're fine.

For bleu cheese dressing I simply take sugar free mayo (from Trader Joe's) and mix in crumbled real bleu cheese.

If it wasn't for these wings, not sure what I'd do.
