Ultimate Game Day Menu: Boneless 'Wings"

I'm not going to lie to you.

I love greasy, spicy, messy Buffalo wings as much as the next girl, but the operative word in this sentence is "messy." Buffalo wings -- or any type of wings, for that matter -- are messy, with a capital Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, and that's okay if you're sitting at a table in someone else's bar with a stack of wetnaps. However, if you're hosting your own Super Bowl party, some of Frank's Red Hot ~~stain~~ sauce will end up on your couch or carpet. Let's not even talk about how appetizing a pile of chicken bones look on the table.

Boneless wings are the way to go here. You can basically take any recipe for chicken wings, make a slight adjustment for strips of chicken breast, and get a similar taste experience that's just a hell of a lot cleaner. Naturally, my preference is for spicy Buffalo-style boneless wings served with a super thick Blue cheese dip. Celery is just a garnish.
