All of the delicious flavors of sugary, fried teriyaki wings, but none of the gluten and carbs. Low Carb Crispy Baked Teriyaki Wings.
Crispy, sweet, and sticky keto chicken wings
Low Carb Crispy Baked Teriyaki Wings. I have been on a huge wing kick lately. Wings, wings, and more wings, ordering them every where we go.
It took me a long time to come around to eating chicken wings. Then, once I finally decided that I liked them, I couldn't stop eating them. It is really hard to find a good crispy baked chicken wing recipe. Most of the recipes that I have tried over the years always end up being a chewy, soft mess. So disappointing. These crispy baked low carb wings will have you swearing that someone broke into your kitchen and secretly fried them.
How to make perfectly crispy keto wings
The key to perfectly crispy low carb wings lies in the technique. It's all about salting them first to draw out excess moisture from the skin, then coating them in baking powder, and then cooking them at two different temperatures, on two different racks in the oven. The end result is a golden, crispy outside and a juicy and tender inside. Once you make low carb wings this way, you will never want to make them another way again.

I first made this low carb teriyaki sauce back in 2012 for my Low Carb Teriyaki Beef Tips Recipe. Then, I just sort of forgot about it for all these years... UNTIL NOW! These keto wings are sure to become a household favorite. Perfect for those Sunday football parties!

Low Carb Crispy Baked Teriyaki Wings
- Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, thawed
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
For the Sauce:
- ½ cup water, divided
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons confectioners erythritol
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
For Optional Garnish::
- 2 fresh chives, chopped
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Spread the wings in a single layer across paper towels and sprinkle with a little salt. Cover with an additional layer of paper towels and let rest for 20 minutes. This will draw out the excess moisture and help you get a truly crispy wing.
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Place an oven rack in the middle-lower position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a cooling rack.
- Combine the wings and the baking powder in a resealable plastic bag. Shake to coat each wing evenly.
- Line the wings in a single layer across the cooling rack. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Increase the temperature to 425°F and move the wings to the top-middle oven rack. Bake for an additional 45 minutes.
- While the wings are baking, combine ¼ cup water, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, erythritol, garlic and ginger in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Whisk to combine.
- In a glass, mix the remaining ¼ cup of water, olive oil and the Xanthan gum. Whisk vigorously to combine.
- Pour the Xanthan gum slurry into the sauce. Whisk constantly until you can no longer see any of the xanthan gum and the sauce has begun to thicken. Transfer the sauce to a large mixing bowl.
- Remove the wings from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and then toss in the sauce.
- Sprinkle chives and sesame seeds over top before serving.
- Prep Time: 30 minutes

How many wings are a portion or is the nutritional info for the whole recipe? They sure are delicious!
★★★★★
Pepper C says
1/3 lb of wings. (Recipe is for 2lbs and makes 6 servings.)
Judy Laquidara says
My husband saLaquidaraid these were the best wings I've ever made and I have to agree with him. So delicious! They're also much easier to make and way less messy than my normal wing recipe.
Kayce says
Hi, I just want to double check that baking at 425 for an additional *45* minutes is accurate? Seems like they would burn/dry out! But maybe not?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, it is correct. They stay nice and juicy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside.
Kayce says
Thank you!
Linda says
Yum! Can't wait to make these! Thanks so much for sharing yet another delicious recipe my whole family will love!
Sarah says
Could I use the baking powder to make chicken strips with the sauce, rather than the chicken wings. I have lots of chicken breast in the freezer. Thanks so much for helping me use what we have.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
The chicken will not get crispy unless it has skin. But you could certainly just cook the chicken and coat it in the sauce.
Sarah says
Thanks. so much. I will try this with skin on chicken breast. Either way it will be outstanding.
