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

Description
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.
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
- ¾ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- oil for frying
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.

Has anyone tried deep frying them, instead of the skillet? Just wondering if it would be less mess...Can't wait to try it!
Erin Aronowitz says
Just tried this! It's awesome! I crushed the pork rinds in a baggie and added the cheese, like you suggested. The coating stayed on really well. Some fell off here and there, but a good amount stayed on. It is crucial to let it cool down a little bit after you take it out of the oil. This will harden the "breading" before the chicken goes into the sauce. DELICIOUS RECIPE!

Natural pork rinds? I will try both. 🙂

wow. I am speechless! this is the best idea, I mean, I never would've thought, in a million years, to use pork rinds with parmesan cheese as a breading for chicken wings. I can't wait to try this!! BEST idea EVER!
Ms. Monica says
Ingenious, pork rinds as breading! Have you tried this with fried chicken?
Debb says
I have,cane it's terrific!!
Lindsey@HappierThanABirdQuilts says
Just tried these out and our breading fell of completely and made mush in the sauce. Any tips besides paper towel to make it stick? Other than that it is super tasty and definitely doesn't taste like pork rinds.

What brand pork rinds did you use, or are they natural pork rinds?
Holley says
I have modified the theme myself. Thanks for the kind words
