Buffalo Hot Chicken Wings or Tenders image

This is adapted from a diabetic hot wings recipe that I came across while searching for something my husband would like. I've always wondered where the term "Buffalo hot wings" came from and I learned that the traditional hot sauce was created over 45 years in a Buffalo, New York pub! You can honor the Buffalo tradition by serving blue cheese dressing as your dipping sauce...use a low-fat or a fat-free dressing if you are trying to eat healthier. And as you know, the chihcken tenders have less fat than the wings. I hope you will try this recipe and let me know what you think!

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon margarine (light tub type)
1 lb chicken wings or 1 lb chicken tenders
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons hot red pepper sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the onion and garlic powders, salt and pepper on the chicken pieces.
  • In a medium skillet, melt the margarine.
  • Add chicken and brown over medium heat about 3-4 minutes for each side. Be sure to brown well as that will ensure you taste the seasonings.
  • While chicken is browning, mix together the hot red pepper sauce, apple cider vinegar and water.
  • When both sides of chicken are brown, sprinkle the sauce mixture over the chicken pieces. Continue cooking 4-5 minutes, turning chicken midway.
  • After about 5 minutes, turn the heat to medium high; cook about 2 minutes until the sauce is completely reduced and the chicken is really coated with the sauce.
  • Note: Cook time will vary with the size of your chicken pieces. Smaller pieces will take less time.
