Gluten Free Chicken Wings (Keto, Low Carb, And Paleo)

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

These delicious naked gluten free chicken wings have no batter or breading on them. So they fit right into the keto way of eating. And did I mention, delicious? Yum.

gluten free chicken wings

Chicken wings are a simple crowd pleaser.

Unfortunately, many times when my family wants to order chicken wings from a restaurant, the wings are floured or dipped in batter and breading before cooking.

They’re not gluten-free.

Do wings have carbs?

Gluten free chicken wings have zero carbs! Zero.

And here’s the good news. Chicken wings are super easy to make at home and are sure to please everyone at your table. 😋

Ingredients

  • chicken wings (If you buy whole wings, you can usually save money, but will have to cut off the tips and cut the drumette and flat apart. Or you can save time and buy pre-cut party wings.)
  • melted butter
  • garlic powder and salt

How to make chicken wings

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

In this recipe, I brush the wings with melted butter and season with salt. Then, I sprinkle with garlic powder because as Mom used to say, “you can never have too much garlic”.

Finally, pop them in the oven until they’re crisp and cooked through.

Can I cook chicken wings in my air fryer?

Yes! Spray oil on the bottom of your air fryer basket. Working in batches, arrange wings in a single layer. Cook at 400 ℉ for 20 minutes, flipping over with tongs halfway through, until crisp and golden.

Pro tips and recipe notes

  • For a dairy-free option, you can substitute extra-virgin olive oil instead of butter.
  • Do you like your wings a little spicy? You can season them with chili powder or paprika or cumin too!
  • If you make your wings in the oven, place them on a rack that fits in a baking sheet so that the fat will drain off the wings. Otherwise, they will be sitting in their grease and get soggy.
  • Leftovers will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to 4-5 days.

Whether you bake them in your oven, air fryer, or barbecue them outside on the grill, chicken wings are a year-round favorite.

Enjoy! Have a happy and healthy week.

What goes with chicken wings?

Wings are a popular choice for game day, party, picnic, and outdoor barbecue appetizers. You can easily turn them into a meal by serving them with cool salads, chips, or veggies sides.

Here are a few tasty options:

Keto Low Carb Cole Slaw Store bought coleslaw can be loaded with sugar. So why not make it at home? You can control the ingredients for a guilt-free, healthier side dish that everyone at your table will love.

Healthy Lemony Marinated Zucchini Salad Zucchini is delicious raw, especially when it is marinated before being added to a salad.

Cucumber Salad This is the most delicious cucumber salad!

How To Cut And Prepare Spaghetti Squash (Includes video!) Spaghetti squash is a perfect fun side dish.

Zucchini Noodles with Basil and Pistachio Pesto (Zoodles) This is the easiest zoodles recipe and so delicious.

Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles of asparagus are brushed with a mixture of coconut oil, avocado oil, and garlic, wrapped in strips of bacon, and then roasted in the oven until crispy on the outside and deliciously succulent on the inside.

Healthier Homemade French Fries When eating out in restaurants, the fries are usually cooked in a shared frier or sometimes coated in a batter. Definitely not gluten free. And, of course, restaurant fries are deep fried in a huge vat of oil. Not so good for your health. These homemade french fries really are wonderfully easy to make.

Spiralized Potato Chips With Onion Dip Make your own healthy baked chips at home with a mouthwatering creamy onion dip.

Ingredients

  • 50 chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons of butter melted *see note for dairy-free option
  • salt to taste
  • garlic powder to taste

Instructions

  • Fire up the grill or preheat oven to 400℉
  • Brush wings with melted butter. Season with salt and garlic powder.
    Cook wings for one hour (turn over after 1/2 hour) until crisp and cooked through. Since ovens vary, you may want to bake them longer to desired doneness. 
    Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • If you buy whole wings, you can usually save money, but will have to cut off the tips and cut the drumette and flat apart. Or you can save time and buy pre-cut party wings.
  • If you make your wings in the oven, place them on a rack that fits in a baking sheet so that the fat will drain off the wings. Otherwise, they will be sitting in their grease and get soggy.
  • I recommend lining your baking sheet with parchment paper. Aluminum foil can be porous and leak fat into your baking sheet so it’s better to go with parchment paper that the grease won't seep through. Less messy pans to clean! Then when your wings are ready, simply wait for the fat to solidify on the parchment paper as it cools and just throw the paper away.
  • Can I cook these in my air fryer? Yes! Spray oil on the bottom of your air fryer basket. Working in batches, arrange wings in a single layer. Cook at 400 ℉ for 20 minutes, flipping over with tongs halfway through, until crisp and golden.
  • Dairy-free option: Substitute extra-virgin olive oil instead of butter.
  • Do you like your wings a little spicy? You can season them with chili powder or paprika or cumin too! 
  • Leftovers will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to 4-5 days.

    Though I don’t eat chicken I think its great that you are posting gluten free recipes, its wonderful to see all of the products coming out in the stores for people who either have gluten sensitivities or who just want to eat healthier in general. I found a great ice cream shop that just opened in our small town across from an old age home, the ice cream is gluten free and almost completely sugar free. I thanked the owner for creating a treat thats good for my family as well as the elderly people across the road who often suffer due to poor diet and low incomes.
