Instead Of Buffalo Wings: A Low Calorie Buffalo Chicken Parfait
|
Updated July 2026 America loves its chicken wings, never more than on Super Bowl Sunday: 1.2 billion chicken wings will be consumed this weekend alone, enough to circle the globe twice! Truth to tell, we’re not a fan of such messy finger food (we don’t do messy well). That’s why we took an immediate liking to this recipe from HungryGirl.com: Buffalo Chicken Parfaits. Not only is it a scant 185 calories, but it’s eaten neatly, with a fork or spoon. Using pre-cooked chicken breasts (Hungry Girl uses Tyson Grilled & Ready), the prep time is 10 minutes, and there’s no cook time. Ingredients Per Serving 1, MIX yogurt with ranch seasoning in a medium bowl. Stir in lettuce and blue cheese. 2. COAT the diced chicken breast with hot sauce in a medium bowl. 3. LAYER half of each ingredient in a tall glass, sundae or parfait dish: lettuce mixture, carrots, celery and sauced chicken. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Serve with a fork or spoon. |

BUFFALO WINGS HISTORY Buffalo wings were invented in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. Co-owner Teressa Bellissimo fried the wings, covered them in her own hot sauce and served them with a side of blue cheese and celery—because that’s what she had available. Here’s the full history of buffalo wings. Many popular dishes, including Caesar salad and Cobb salad, were created because “that’s what was in the fridge.” CHECK OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING ON OUR HOME PAGE, THENIBBLE.COM. |
