<\/a><\/p>\n Don’t let the crazy calorie consumption of next weekend’s Super Bowl parties derail your New Year’s resolution to eat healthier! These lower calorie Sriracha Chicken Potato Skins<\/strong> will have you dancing in the end zone with their bold spicy flavor, vibrant colors, tantalizing textures, and calories to spare! It took me a week in the kitchen to achieve a convincing replica of the undeniably popular and ubiquitous tangy, spicy Buffalo chicken flavors that sports fans and party-goers crave without frying and tossing in the hot sauce spiked melted butter that makes Buffalo wings so finger-lickin’ good. You’re gonna love it!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Sure, practically any restaurant that serves beer usually has fiery wings or a derivative on the menu and there are dozens of versions of Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken sliders and sandwich recipes circulating on Pinterest and the blogosphere, but why waste so many calories on a few wings? Deep-fried Buffalo chicken wings are the ultimate beer food – simmered in butter and\u00a0hot\u00a0sauce to pack a kick, they’re a savory sensation when washed down with an icy cold beer to banish the burn, but you might feel like kicking yourself the day after. Naturally, it doesn’t hurt to include Buffalo chicken wings in your diet on occasion, but why not have a recipe that allows you to guiltlessly indulge?<\/p>\n Guys, don’t let the “skinny” throw you off – think of it as the best of both worlds: crispy potato skins meet butter-less Buffalo Chicken wings, thanks to a Sriracha update, in a mouthwatering collision of cool, hot, spicy, and tangy goodness.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n If you have any doubts, here’s a bit of encouragement gleaned from my Google research:<\/p>\n Buffalo wings originated in Buffalo, NY where the average temperature in the winter is a high of 31\u00b0 F and low of 19\u00b0F and average snowfall is 25 inches – they need fat to keep warm and energy for shoveling, but the fat and sodium content in Buffalo Chicken is stratospheric. According to Nutrition Charts<\/a>, there are 908 calories and 2,298 mg of sodium in one serving of Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo Chicken Flatbread. Yikes! One Buffalo Chicken wing is 72 calories and 66 mg of sodium AND they contain MSG. The boneless ones are even higher for some reason – 88 calories and 178 mg of sodium each, multiply this by 3 or 4 and get on the treadmill. Not to pick on Buffalo Wild Wings, but since that’s their brand, I chose their wings as an example.<\/p>\nLove Buffalo Chicken, But Not the Calories!<\/h2>\n
