Chicken Wing Meat and Skin (Broilers or Fryers, Flour, Fried, Cooked) (1 Wing, Bone Removed)

Choose unbreaded wings or remove the flour coating; bake, grill, or air-fry them instead of deep-frying.

Keep the wing portion moderate and pair it with a large serving of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, or a leafy salad.

Avoid sugary barbecue, honey, teriyaki, or sweet chili sauces; use vinegar-based hot sauce, mustard, herbs, garlic, or a low-sugar dip instead.

Skip fries, white bread, biscuits, and sugary drinks with the wings; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea.

Eat slowly and start with vegetables or a salad before the wings to reduce the speed of the rise.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
