What to Order at Buffalo Wild Wings for High Cholesterol

A wing joint is one of the tougher spots for cholesterol — fried, saucy, and salty is the whole theme. But there's a workable path: grilled over fried, dry rubs and lighter sauces, and vegetable sides.

What to look for

The load is in fried/breaded wings and tenders, creamy dips, cheese, and fried sides (fat + heavy sodium). Lean on grilled/naked options, lighter dry rubs or vinegar-based sauces, and veggie sides.

Heart-smart picks

• Naked (grilled) tenders instead of breaded — a big fried-fat cut.

• Traditional wings tossed lightly in a dry rub or a lighter/vinegar sauce, sauce on the side, in a smaller count.

• A grilled chicken wrap or grilled chicken salad, dressing on the side.

• Celery/carrots or a side salad instead of fries or fried sides.

Solid runners-up

• Grilled chicken entree with veggies.

• Naked tenders + side salad combo.

What to skip

• Breaded/boneless wings and fried tenders — the main fried-fat source.

• Loaded nachos, fried pickles, cheese curds, and mozzarella sticks.

• Creamy ranch/blue-cheese dips poured on, and giant sodium-heavy sauce piles.

Quick tips

Go naked/grilled, keep sauces light or on the side (dry rubs help), swap fries for veggies or a salad, and keep the count reasonable. That's the heart-smart version of a wing night.
