Spicy Keto/Low Carb Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg chicken wings, split into two parts
- For marinating:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (substitute with garlic powder if preferred)
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp chili powder (adjust for desired spiciness)
- For sauce:
- 1 to 2 tbsp butter
- 1 to 2 tbsp Tropicana Slim soy sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp or more chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Cut the chicken wings into two pieces if not already done. Wash them thoroughly and pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step ensures crispiness when fried.
-
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the dried chicken wings in a bowl. Add minced garlic (or garlic powder), black pepper powder, salt, and chili powder. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 25 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
-
Fry the Chicken Wings:
- Heat cooking oil in a frying pan or wok over medium-low heat. Fry the chicken wings in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This might take some time due to the low heat, but it ensures the chicken cooks evenly without burning.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- In another pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add Tropicana Slim soy sauce, regular soy sauce, chili powder, salt, and a splash of water. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Add the fried chicken wings to the sauce pan. Toss them gently to coat each piece evenly with the spicy sauce. Once coated, remove from heat.
-
Serve:
- Allow the chicken wings to rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite keto-friendly sides or dipping sauces.
