Keto BBQ Bacon Chicken Wings
These deliciously flavored Keto chicken wings are coated in aromatic spices, bacon, and a low carb BBQ style sauce. The wings are dusted with paprika, cumin, and a hint of garlic powder, then wrapped with bacon before being part-baked. The part-baked wings are then brushed with a blend of tomato paste, tamari sauce, maple-flavored syrup, mustard powder, and a hint of garlic. The wings then finish baking until well browned and caramelized.
Can I Cook These in An Air Fryer
We have baked our Keto chicken recipe in the oven until perfectly golden. However, if preferred, you could cook these in the basket of an air fryer. We would recommend cooking in two batches to ensure the wings are not crowded and cook in a single layer. The wings will need to cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for around 20 minutes, basting with the marinade halfway through. Check the wings are entirely cooked through and cook longer as needed.
Serving Suggestions
These BBQ bacon wings make a great Keto lunch or dinner option. Perfect served with a hearty low carb salad, slaw or Keto fries. These low carb wings would also make a great addition to the BBQ grill, served with your favorite Keto BBQ sides and sauces.
