Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol
- 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely. This step is crucial to developing a good sear.
In a large skillet or a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken wings in a single layer and sear them for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Once all the wings are browned, remove them from the pan and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be cautious not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, chicken broth, rice vinegar, and granulated erythritol. Stir in the grated ginger and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken wings to the pan, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid and let the wings braise for about 40-45 minutes on low heat. Occasionally stir to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
After the braising time, remove the lid and raise the heat slightly to help reduce the sauce, allowing it to thicken. This should take an additional 10 minutes.
Once the sauce has reduced to your liking, sprinkle the chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and black pepper over the chicken wings. Stir to combine all the flavors.
Serve hot and enjoy your low carb braised chicken wings with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
