Side dish with Buffalo Wings

[jstarr]

I'm making a slightly health conscious baked buffalo wing tonight. I'd like the side dish to also be pretty healthy. Any ideas or recommendations?

A salad would be a nice contrast to the hot wings.

Traditionally buffalo wings are served with only celery and blue cheese or ranch. Maybe some kind of celery salad or a broccoli slaw with shaved broccoli and celery.

Oven baked onion rings would work, but fried onion rings would work better . I've seen recipes for oven-baked using panko, never tried them though.

I like that better than salad.

Since bleu cheese is usually involved with wings, how about a bleu cheese coleslaw...or a wedge of lettuce with bleu cheese dressing with carrots and celery scattered about or rimming the plate?

Or Ranch instead of bleu cheese?

rice and a stir fry for us.

With Buffalo Chicken Wings? That seems really odd to add stir fry to a down home bar food.

Buffalo wings sound so good right now!

I think some coleslaw sounds like a good idea. As for the baked onion ring idea, I have done that. They were pretty good. Not as good as fried onion rings, but really when is anything not best when fried?

How many pounds of chicken wings should I buy for 3 pretty good eaters?

I would say about 50 wings, give or take 25.
