These Keto Boneless Buffalo Wings are the perfect low carb appetizer. They are breaded in a low carb, nut-free breading, fried and then sauced with a mixture of butter and buffalo sauce.
The best keto boneless wings
Buffalo wings and boneless wings are two of my favorite appetizers to order when dining out. At many restaurants, the wings are already low carb and gluten free. As long as they aren't dredging the wings in flour before frying, you are usually in the clear. Just ask if the wings are gluten free. If they say yes, chances are great that they are also very low in carbs. However, that is never the case with boneless wings. They are never low carb and gluten free. Which for me, takes them off the menu when dining out. But have no fear, I have the perfect solution. These Keto Boneless Buffalo Wing have all of the flavor and crunch of bar style boneless wings, but without all the carbs.

Low Carb Boneless Buffalo Wings
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: Makes 4 Servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 ½ cups crushed pork rinds (I use this brand)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (I use this brand of seasonings)
- ¾ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- oil for frying (I recommend this)
Instructions
- Trim excess fat off chicken breast and cut into large chunks.
- In a food processor combine pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder and pulse until ingredients are well combined and moderately fine. Pour mixture onto a plate, in a thin layer.
- Heat an inch of oil over medium-high heat. I use a non-stick wok for stove-top deep frying. The high sides reduce splatter and make clean up a cinch.
- Press the chicken chunks firmly into the breading mixture, coating both sides (Doing it this way will help the breading bind to the chicken much better than just shaking them in the breading mixture.)
- Once oil is hot and begins to bubble, drop the breaded chicken into the oil. Using tongs, flip the chicken pieces a few times until they are golden brown and crisp on both sides - About 3 minutes each side.
- After removing chicken from oil, allow to cool on a paper towel to soak up excess grease. This will also give the breading a chance to crisp up so that it stays on.
- Melt the butter and mix with buffalo wing sauce. Lightly toss the Chicken in the sauce.

Outstanding! I followed this recipe exactly except I took other people’s advice about the coating that doesn’t adhere. Here’s an awesome tip I learned awhile back: after cutting up your chicken, put it in a bowl and soak it for about 20-30 minutes in buttermilk and dill pickle juice. I actually didn’t use real buttermilk. I made mine using a dairy free milk and added some apple cider vinegar. (Works better for the allergies in my house.). After soaking the chicken, add it to a large baggie with tour coating and shake. It works perfectly. Chick-fil-A does this with the pickle juice and it turns out spectacular. This was the best keto nugget recipe I’ve found and much better and more moist than egg crumbs.

Has anyone tried these in an air fryer?

Just made these following directions. But I lightly coated the chicken pieces with mayo before breading. It does an amazing job holding the breading on. Delicious!

These were AMAZING! Completely satisfied my craving for boneless wings. I used avocado oil to fry and like some others, I dredged in an egg wash before applying the pork rind mixture (and made sure to press the mixture on hard). I had absolutely no issue with the "breading" staying on, even after tossing in the sauce. They came out crispy and perfect. I will definitely be making these again!

Ohmygawd. Amazing! I made a small batch just in case and had my mom try some. She couldn't believe I didn't use bread crumbs!
A few notes for others that make this.
Taste the sauce before hand. I didn't and with the garlic powder they were a little salty. If possible use a food processor\blender. You will get finer "breadcrumbs “ than by hand (I tried both). Thank you for the amazing recipe!
