A typical chain restaurant serves wings at around 100 calories a pop. You can easily lighten things up by using flavorful spices in your breading and a touch of butter (yes, butter!) and hot sauce. And don’t forget about a healthier cooking method. Instead of frying, the trick to getting the nuggets crispy is baking and then quickly broiling.
