These Keto Spicy Sriracha Glazed Chicken Wings are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for anyone following a keto diet. The spicy sriracha glaze is complemented by a tangy, savory kick that makes these wings irresistible.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Wings:

• 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings (drumettes and flats)

• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

For the Spicy Sriracha Glaze:

• 1/4 cup sriracha sauce

• 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup (or tomato paste)

• 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce)

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

• 1 tbsp erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener, optional, to balance the heat)

• 1 tsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)

• 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for extra depth of flavor)

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp ginger powder (optional, for extra zing)

For Garnishing (Optional):

• Chopped green onions

• Sesame seeds

• Cilantro leaves

• Lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. If you have a wire rack, place it on top of the baking sheet for extra crispiness.

   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

   • Toss the chicken wings in olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Make sure the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning.

   • Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet (or wire rack) and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown. If using a wire rack, this will help them cook evenly.

2. Make the Spicy Sriracha Glaze:

   • While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sriracha sauce, sugar-free ketchup, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, erythritol, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder (if using).

   • Stir well and bring to a simmer. Allow the glaze to cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and is heated through. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed (add more sweetener for sweetness or more sriracha for heat).

3. Coat the Wings with the Glaze:

   • Once the wings are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

   • Pour the hot spicy sriracha glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly. Make sure each wing is covered with the flavorful glaze.

4. Serve:

   • Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter.

   • Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro leaves for an added burst of freshness and flavor.

   • Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the wings for extra tang.

Tips:

• You can also cook the wings on a grill for extra flavor. Grill them over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are crispy and fully cooked.

• To make the wings extra crispy, you can broil them for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

• Adjust the heat of the glaze by adding more sriracha if you like it spicier or more sweetener if you prefer a milder flavor.
