Keto Buffalo Chicken Wings

Serves: 4

Ingredients

For the Wings

2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes

2 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp baking powder (for extra crispiness)

For the Buffalo Sauce

½ cup sugar-free hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot or similar)

4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a wire rack for crispier wings.
2. Season the Wings
   Pat the wings completely dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Bake the Wings
   Arrange wings in a single layer and bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
   Air fryer option: Cook at 375°F for 25 minutes, shaking halfway.
4. Make the Buffalo Sauce
   In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir until smooth.
5. Toss & Serve
   Coat the hot wings in buffalo sauce and serve immediately with celery sticks and keto-friendly ranch or blue cheese dressing.
