Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup hot sauce (Paleo-friendly)
- 0.25 cup ghee
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, ensuring each wing is evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mix over the wings, tossing them until they are well-coated with the seasoning and arrowroot powder mixture.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't touch each other for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are browned and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by melting ghee in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add the hot sauce to the melted ghee, stirring until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them, tossing to coat evenly.
Serve hot with your choice of Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or vegetables like celery and carrots.
