Ingredients
- 2-pound chicken wings and drumettes
- 3 tsp. melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp. fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. wing sauce or other medium-hot hot sauce( to taste)
For serving
- 1/2 batch blue cheese
- Celery sticks (as desired)
- Carrots sticks (as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F
- In a large bowl, place your chicken wings and drumettes. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika to the melted butter. This will coat your wings in a flavorful, smoky mixture that will caramelize beautifully in the oven, giving your wings a stunning color and a mouth-watering aroma.
- Place your buttered chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper. Both sides.
- Bake your Keto chicken wings for 35 to 40 minutes or until the wings are crispy and golden. You can also use a knife to cut through them to confirm they are cooked through.
- Remove your rimmed baking sheet from the oven and brush your chicken with your desired hot sauce. Place back in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until crispy.
- Serve your chicken with blue cheese dressing, celery sticks and carrot sticks. Family dinner night has never tasted or looked so good!
- When ready to enjoy again, you can reheat the keto chicken wings on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 F for about 5 minutes or until warmed.
Notes
- If you wish to make the recipe healthier and dairy-free just switch out the butter for coconut oil. The results will be just as delicious.
- Midway cooking your wings, flip them to ensure they are crunchy on each side. This will help to cook evenly.
- For any leftover keto chicken wings, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and they should be consumed within 4 days.
