Recipe:
Ingredients: For the Wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking oil for frying (such as avocado oil or coconut oil)
For the Buffalo Sauce:
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the coating mixture for the wings.
- Dip each chicken wing into the coating mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once all the wings are coated, bake them in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until they are crispy and cooked through.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a separate bowl, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to combine.
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Dip each wing into the buffalo sauce, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the sauced wings on a separate platter or baking sheet.
- If desired, you can broil the sauced wings for a few minutes to achieve a caramelized finish.
- Serve the Keto Buffalo Wild Wings hot with celery sticks and your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce (such as ranch or blue cheese).
