Recipe: Keto Buffalo Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Wings:

2 pounds chicken wings

2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Buffalo Sauce:

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup hot sauce (choose a low-carb option)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Line a baking sheet with a wire rack. This will help the wings cook evenly and stay crispy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This is essential for achieving crispy wings.
Toss the dry wings in the baking powder mixture until they are evenly coated.
Place the coated wings on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching. This allows air to circulate around them.

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. This initial low-temperature baking helps to render the fat out of the skin, making them crispy.

2. Increase the Oven Temperature:

After the initial baking, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
Continue baking the wings for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy.

3. Prepare the Buffalo Sauce:

In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the buffalo sauce.
