Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Pork rinds, crushed
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground pepper
- 1.5 cups Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 0.25 cup Sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Prepare the chicken by patting the wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each chicken wing in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then coat the chicken wing in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is fully covered. Repeat for all wings.
In a deep pan or fryer, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken wings in batches for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
To make the sauce, in a small saucepan, combine gochugaru, sugar-free ketchup, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Transfer the fried chicken wings to a serving plate, and drizzle generously with the prepared sauce.
Garnish the wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
