Keto Sweet and Salty Wings

These delicious Keto wings are oven-baked in a simple sweet and salty glaze until caramelized and crisp. Our tasty low carb wings are firstly part-cooked then coated in a marinade of tomato paste, lakanto syrup, tamari sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, sesame oil and a touch of xanthan gum. Once basted with the glaze, the wings are returned to the oven to crisp up.

Can I Use a Different Sweetener?

We have used a low carb maple-flavored syrup for our tasty Keto chicken wings. The syrup is simmered with the other glaze ingredients until rich and sticky. If preferred, you may use an alternative low carb sweetener, adjusting the quantities to taste. Powdered erythritol or a little stevia would make a good alternative. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Do I Have to Use Xanthan Gum?

We have used just a touch of xanthan gum to thicken our low carb marinade. Adding the gum transforms a simple sauce into a glossy glaze with better consistency for basting. You can omit the gum if preferred, however, and simply brush the wings with the sauce.
