Crispy BBQ Keto Chicken Wings
from Sugar Free LondonerMy whole family loves this crispy chicken wings recipe. It's super easy to throw together and it works as an appetiser with a dollop of mayonnaise, as finger food and as part of a main course together with a crunchy green salad. BBQ flavour, but made in the oven!
Note: The servings slider only changes the first amount in each line and not any subsequent amounts. Please make your own calculations where necessary.
Equipment
- frying pan
- oven
Ingredients
- 35 oz / 1 kg chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Rub
- 1.5 tablespoon paprika
- 2-3 tablespoon Golden Lakanto or another brown sugar alternative
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ tsp chilli powder
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ tsp mustard powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220 Celsius / 200 Celsius fan / 428 Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the rub by mixing all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or non stick frying pan and sear the chicken wings for 2 - 3
minutes per side. (If using a cast iron skillet you may need to grease with a little oil to prevent sticking.) - Once seared, place the chicken wings in a mixing bowl and toss with the rub and olive oil or butter. Massage until fully coated.
- Place the BBQ Chicken Wings onto a greaseproof lined baking tray and bake in the oven for around 35 minutes until crisp. Turn half way through for even cooking. For ultimate crispy skin, you can also place under the grill at the end for around 3 - 5 minutes to really crisp up.
Notes
If your chicken wings are fairly large like mine, you'll have about 12 - 14 wings per kilo. This equals about 3 wings per person.Â
Chicken wings can vary in size. If you buy smaller wings, you may need to reduce the oven time by about 5 minutes so they don't burn. Just keep an eye on them! Â

Sugar free son loved making these (and we all enjoyed them too!) last night. At last a website which offers delicious recipes low in carbs, sugar free & dairy free too. Simple but super tasty recipes. I am trying the chocolate muffins recipe next!

You suggest using granulated erythritol but do not give a quantity. I am assuming it will not be 2-3 tbs of erythritol.
Please reply asap as I cannot wait to try this recipe.
Katrin
Hi Anthea, it's 2-3 tbsp of Golden Lakanto or any other erythritol:)
Theresa
Cant wait to try them. Right now I'm looking for a Keto or low carb blueberry Scone. Do you have one?
Thanks, Theresa
Katrin
Hi Theresa, I have a great recipe for grain free English scones that you can just add a handful of blueberries to.

Hi. Can one substitute boneless chicken breast for the wings?
Thanks.
Katrin
Yes, you can use the rub with any part of the chicken.
