Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Low-sugar ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or other low-carb sweetener
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to mix well.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Arrange the wings on the prepared rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the low-carb BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the low-sugar ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and stevia. Stir well to combine.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven. Brush them generously with the prepared BBQ sauce or toss them in a bowl with the sauce to coat evenly.
Return the sauced wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the wings hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
