Are Chicken Wings Keto-friendly?
Yes, chicken wings are great for a keto diet! They are high in protein and fat, and they have no carbs. They taste delicious on their own, but be careful with added breading or sauces as they can add carbs.
Baked, not fried! These keto wings are healthier because they are baked, not deep-fried. Always crispy. A special ingredient and cooking method make these wings crispy every time.
Easy to prepare. You only need one bowl to mix the chicken before baking and to coat them in the sauce.

Expert Tips For Perfect Keto Chicken Wings
- Pat the Wings Dry: Before adding oil and seasonings, make sure to pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel. This simple step ensures the skin turns out extra crispy.
- Use Baking Powder Without Worry: Don’t stress about the amount of baking powder you use. It won’t leave a metallic or bitter taste; instead, it will make the wings incredibly crispy, even after you add the sauce.
- Bake on a Wire Rack: Place the chicken wings on a wire rack instead of directly on a baking sheet. This allows excess fat and oil to drip away and helps the wings cook more evenly and get crispier.
