Keto Buffalo Chicken Wings

Directions

• Step 1 Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-safe rack on top of your cookie sheet. Grease the cookie sheet with butter to prevent sticking. Here’s the baking & rack sheet set I recommend if you don’t already have one.
• Step 2 Pat/squeeze the wings completely dry using paper towels. This is important to remove as much moisture as possible from the wings – without this step you won’t get the crispy skin.
• Step 3 Combine the baking powder, salt, garlic power, and pepper in a small bowl and mix evenly.  Then sprinkle the mixture over the wings and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
• Step 4 Place the wings on the rack in a single layer.
• Step 5 Transfer the rack and cookie sheet to the oven and bake at 250°F for 30 minutes. Baking at a low temperature will dry the wings out and allows the baking powder to penetrate.
• Step 6 After 30 minutes, remove the wings from the oven to flip them over. Raise the heat of the oven to to 425°F and continue to bake the wings for an additional 30 minutes until brown and crispy. (Note: I like Wegman’s organic wings which are on the smaller size. If you use larger wings, you may need to bake them 10-15 mins longer to brown).
• Step 7 While wings are cooking, whisk together hot sauce and butter (or alternatively you can use a pre-made buffalo sauce- just make sure you check the . Carb count and confirm no added sugars).
• Step 8 Remove the wings from the oven and toss the wings in the sauce using tongs until they’re evenly coated.  Let rest for 5 minutes to cool.
• Step 9 Grab the blue cheese of your choice for dipping and some celery sticks (also low carb!) and you’re all ready to go!!!
