Sweet and Spicy Wings

These Sweet and Spicy Wings are a deliciously addictive keto-friendly dish that balances the heat of spices with a hint of sweetness. Perfectly crispy and glazed, they are ideal for a casual dinner or game day feast.

Ingredients

• Chicken Wings - 500 grams
• Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic Powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion Powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener) - 2 tablespoons
• Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Hot Sauce - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
4. Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer.
5. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are crispy and golden brown.
6. While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze by combining erythritol, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
7. Stir the mixture until the erythritol has dissolved and the sauce is heated through, about 5 minutes.
8. Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the sweet and spicy glaze until well coated.
9. Return the glazed wings to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
10. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
