INGREDIENT NOTES:
COCONUT AMINOS:
- We have to use coconut aminos, as it will help to improve the umami flavor. Alternate it with liquid aminos, tamari, or regular soy sauce.
BUTTER:
- Butter will make a sticky and glossy texture for these wings. We can switch it out with avocado oil, ghee, or coconut oil.
XANTHAN GUM:
- You can use xanthan gum, as it will give a thick texture to these wings. Replace it with psyllium husk powder or guar gum.
KETO HONEY SUBSTITUTE:
- Use the keto honey substitute, which is prepared with keto sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit. It will mimic the flavor and texture of the honey without the additional carb content. Swap it with erythritol-based syrup blends, sugar-free maple, or allulose syrup.
CHICKEN WINGS:
- Chicken wings are utilized to provide protein and fat content. As a replacement, you can use boneless chicken chunks, chicken drumettes, or chicken thighs.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- Apple cider vinegar will improve all the flavors and give a tarty flavor. We can also use rice vinegar or lemon juice.
