Keto Game Night Chicken Wings Recipe

Let it never be said that you can’t eat good food on keto. Pull out this keto game night chicken wings recipe the next time you have guests – it’s a real winner!

How to Make Chicken Wings

If you’ve made your own chicken wings before, you probably know that most versions are not keto.

The chicken is fine, of course. But the ingredients that create that hot, spicy, and crispy exterior can cause big problems for your ketosis.

Problem number one is flour. Many recipes ask you to dip your wings into flour before proceeding to fry them and add sauces and spices.

Another common issue is sugar or honey. Sweet wing sauce isn’t so great for your diet, that’s for sure.

Still another potential pitfall is vegetable oil. If you’re cooking at home you can easily avoid it, but you never know what your wings have been cooked in when you eat out.

Vegetable oil may not pose a threat to your ketosis, but the highly processed oil is still not great for your health.

For a meaty meal, there sure are a lot of things that can make chicken wings not safe for keto.

How to Make Keto Wings

The goal with these wings is to keep the flavor and proper amount of stickiness while cutting out the ingredients that aren’t keto.

Flour is an easy one. You just don’t need it, especially since these wings will be baked instead of fried.

Olive oil can be used in place of vegetable oil – a swap I’d recommend whether you’re keto or not.

Then, you add your spices and flavorings. Tamari sauce, mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic paste, ginger paste, and low-sugar ketchup combine to make a wonderfully messy marinade for the wings.

Ranch Dipping Sauce

What are chicken wings without something on the side for dipping? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

While bleu cheese is a popular option, that’s a heavily dairy-filled dip.

This keto ranch recipe is a much better option that still offers a cool balance to the wings.

Just 10 minutes gets you a zippy sidekick for your snack.
