Buffalo Chicken Wings

I’ve got another fabulous Super Bowl Recipe to share for the big game on Sunday, and this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser. If you liked my Weight Watchers Buffalo Chicken Strips Recipe, you’ll love this Weight Watchers Buffalo Wings Recipe!! This delicious and easy to make Chicken Wings Recipe has a fabulous Blue Cheese Dip and a tangy buffalo sauce that is to die for. A good buffalo wings recipe is pretty much an essential for any good Super Bowl Party food, but if you are a Weight Watcher, traditional buffalo wing recipes can really rack up those Weight Watchers Points. But with this low Point wing recipe, you can really enjoy yourself! And as an added bonus, you are getting a fantastic Weight Watchers Blue Cheese Dip Recipe too! Plus, it’s SO yummy, all of the non-Weight Watchers will love it too!

    I just wanted to say that I am in love with your website!! My boyfriend and I try to eat healthy, and your site has pretty much ALL of our favorite foods, in healthier, delicious versions, so THANK YOU!! :D And wings are one of my FAVORITE foods, so I really REALLY appreciate this! :D

    Using the skinless chicken wings is what saves you all the extra calories. It really makes a big difference. Also, wings are pretty small…so you aren't really getting much sauce on them. And the dip really isn't many calories either, thus it helps to keep the Points value low.

  • Alissa

    I still don't understand how this is only three points! Please explain.

    So glad your husband likes the wings!! My husband is a fan as well. And I let him eat it a few times before I told him it was a Weight Watchers Recipe :). To answer your question, the dressing is pretty low calorie and only adds about a half a Point. So, to be on the conservative side, I would say, just don't adjust the Points value at all. That way, if you go over your Points a bit somewhere else during the day, this will kinda give you some insurance. But if you do track half Points, then a serving size would be 2.5 Weight Watchers Points. Thanks for reading!!

    My husband loves the wings without the dressing. Can you tell me the points for the wings only without the dressing? Thanks! Great site.

    They can be pretty hard to find….so I usually just remove the skin myself. It's tedious, but removing the skin can really save you some Weight Watchers Points. If you have a Trader Joe's in your neighborhood, check there first. If not try a local butcher.
