HOW TO MAKE KETO CHICKEN WINGS
These wings are not only crazy good, but they’re crazy easy to make. First, you’ll separate and dry your wings. Then, you’ll mix up some baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and toss that with the wings. You can also place the wings on a baking sheet, and rub the baking powder mixture on top – either way works.
Using a little baking powder actually helps get the wings crispier when you bake them in the oven.
For the baking portion, you’ll put them in for about a half-hour, pull ‘em out and flip them, then continue to cook. All in all, you’re looking at around 50 minutes of cooking time, but it’s well worth it!
BREAKING DOWN CHICKEN
If you’re just buying chicken wings for the first time, you might be surprised that they look different than you get them at a restaurant. You’ll just need to break them down yourself, which is very easy.
Chicken wings are made up of three parts:
- Drumette – This is the part that attached the wing to the animal, and looks like a mini drumstick.
- Flat (or wingette) – This is the middle part of the chicken wing, and looks a bit like a flat oval.
- Tip – This is the very end of the chicken wing, and is pointy.
Here, we split it into two sections – the drumette and the flat/tip. It’s best to leave the tip connected to the flat because you can get some crispy chicken skin on there (though there’s not much meat underneath). If you prefer cutting the tip-off, that’s fine too!
