Keto Sticky BBQ Chicken Wings are the perfect summer entree to enjoy with a crowd!

KETO BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Chicken wings just got a makeover! These Sticky Keto BBQ Chicken wings are so tasty!  Made with a keto-friendly homemade marinade you can ensure there’s no nasty preservatives or refined sugars in these bad boys!

Perfect for snuggling up with Netflix or that summer BBQ. I like to serve them with a good dollop of mayonnaise and a fresh salad. My favorites are the Avocado, Tomato and Cucumber Salad or my Summer Confetti Salad. 

 These Keto Sticky BBQ Chicken Wings are baked rather than fried, which means less messy cooking. You can also place under the grill at the end for a couple of minutes if you want them even crispier!

SUGAR FREE BBQ MARINADE

The key to making these sticky BBQ chicken wings as authentic as the kind lathered with sugary BBQ sauce, is in this special sugar free marinade. Smoky, spicy, and sweet special ingredients make for a pretty fabulous flavor that will explode your tastebuds in one bite!

Author Jo Harding

Ingredients

• 3 pounds chicken wings or 18 chicken wings
• 1 large red bell pepper or 5.8 ounces/164 grams
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
• 1 small yellow onion or 2.5 ounces/70grams
• 1 garlic clove minced
• ½ cup tomato puree or 4.4ounces/125grams
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon paprika smoky or regular
• ¼ teaspoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce
• ¼ teaspoon dijon mustard
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ½ cup Lakanto brown sugar sub or Swerve brown sugar sub
• 3 tablespoons water

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400F / 200C / 180C fan.
• Slice the pepper in half, remove the seeds and stalk and place on a greaseproof lined baking tray. Rub in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes,
  turning half way to ensure even cooking.
• Heat a non stick frying pan or cast iron skillet and sear the chicken wings for 2 - 3 minutes per side. (You may need to add a little oil to the pan if using a cast iron skillet so
  the wings don’t stick.)
• Place the seared chicken wings onto a greaseproof lined baking tray and cook for about 30 minutes in the oven until almost crisp.
• When the pepper is cooked, and still hot, place in a zip lock bag and leave for 5 minutes. This will make the skin easy to peel off. Remove the skin and discard. Chop the pepper into cubes.
• Place 1 tablespoon of butter, ghee or coconut oil in a pan and sauté the onion on a medium/ low heat for 3 - 4 minutes until soft.
• Add the garlic for 30 seconds then add the pepper, tomato puree, apple cider vinegar, paprika, chilli, coconut aminos, dijon mustard, sweetener, seasoning and water. Simmer on low heat for 5 - 10 minutes until thick. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.
• Allow to cool so not hot and use an immersion hand blender to blitz until smooth. Alternatively you can try using a smoothie blender though you may need to make a larger batch.
• Rub the sauce over the chicken wings and place back in the oven for about 15 minutes until sticky.
• Best served fresh or in the fridge for 2 days. Can also be frozen and
  reheated.
