If you’re looking for the perfect way to get crispy wings in the oven without a deep fryer (or even an air fryer) you’ve come to the right place! This baking method will get you perfect results for your keto-friendly baked wings every time.
Wing Ingredients:
- 30 wing pieces (or enough to standard size baking tray with space in between each)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Himalayan pink sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper, to taste (or Freshly ground black pepper)
Buffalo Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
Air dry wings on a baking tray with a grill rack for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
Preheat oven to 400F. Combine the seasoning in a small spice bowl. Put all the wings in a bowl and drizzle with half the avocado oil then sprinkle on half the seasoning. Toss the wings to coat. Add the remainder of the oil and seasoning and toss again.
Spray the baking tray grill rack with coconut oil cooking spray then arrange all the wings on the grill rack with space in between each. The grill rack is absolutely necessary for you to get the crispy results you this recipe is designed for. You'll even get a few char marks as though you did these in the BBQ, it's great!
Bake wings in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Change the oven setting to broil on low and leave it in for a further 6-8 minutes, watching closely to make sure they don’t overcook.
While the wings are broiling, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. Whisk in the remaining ingredients from the sauce. Try to time the sauce so that it will be ready soon after the wings come out of the oven.
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce over top and toss with the wings. Serve hot with a side of [keto blue cheese sauce]9https://feednflow.com/blog/post/keto-blue-cheese-dressing---keto-low-carb) or a sugar-free ranch dressing.
Of course, you don’t have to use the Buffalo sauce with these wings either. They are simply a favourite option amongst the keto community thanks to the butter and accompanying creamy blue cheese or ranch dressings. Feel free to experiment with sugar-free BBQ sauces, sugar-free spice rubs (Taco Spice works!) or anything else your heart desires!
