In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the hot sauce, sucralose, salt, and garlic powder. Once combined, take the sauce off the heat and set it aside.
Arrange the chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Pop them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. After that, carefully remove the pan, drain any juices that have collected, and flip the wings over. Put them back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
Once the wings are cooked through, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss everything together so they’re nicely coated. Return the wings to the rack on the baking sheet and bake again until they’re cooked through completely—this should take anywhere from 15 to 30 more minutes. To be sure, check that the thickest part near the bone reads 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Enjoy!
- Make sure to pat the chicken wings dry before seasoning to help the skin get crispy.
- Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow air circulation and even cooking.
- Adjust the level of spice by adding more or less chili powder or hot sauce according to your taste.
These wings strike the perfect balance between sweet and spicy, making them a tasty treat without the extra carbs. Baking them to crispy perfection means you get all the flavor and crunch without the mess of frying. They are great for anyone following a keto lifestyle or just looking for a flavorful, low-carb snack.
Serve these wings with a side of crunchy celery sticks and a creamy ranch or blue cheese dip. They also pair well with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Perfect for game day, parties, or a simple weeknight dinner.
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the skin soggy.
