I called Applebees and asked the Manager to tell me exactly how the wings were prepared when I started this WOL. The wings are deep fried and tossed in a red hot sauce. When I asked for the nutritional information, the Manager kindly grabbed a bottle of hot sauce and read me the ingredients. I don't remember everything that was in it, but I do remember there was vinegar, tabasco, seasonings and in total there were two net carbs/serving. So, eat-up! They're safe.

BTW - I now make a habbit of asking how resteraunts prepare their food and if there are any sugars, flours, etc. in their food. If the waiter doesn't know, I ask them to check with the chefs. I went to lunch in Carmel last weekend and when I asked what was in the salad and salad dressing, the waiter asked the chefs and then brought the recipe binder out and read me all of the ingredients and everything in the dressing was legal. Knowing what I was eating made that wonderful salad even more delish. I say, when in doubt, ask!
