I am hopelessly addicted to buffalo wings. I love boneless buffalo wings so much, I even sacrifice my gluten-free lifestyle every time I eat them. One day, it hit me: there had to be a way to get my fix without the stomachache from glutens and fried foods afterwards. These wings have the same flavors as classic boneless wings, but without the unnecessary added calories from frying. They’re incredibly easy to make and you can even make them gluten-free if you use gluten-free breadcrumbs. Win-win? I’d say so.
