Lemon and Ginger Baked Chicken Wings

About

These quick and easy Keto chicken wings are simple to prepare yet packed with flavor. Our low carb wings are brushed with a simple glaze of lemon zest, warming ginger, garlic, maple-flavored syrup, and olive oil until well coated. The wings are then oven baked until caramelized and perfectly golden. Perfect served hot from the oven or cold as leftovers! We have basted and cooked our wings straight away for quickness and convenience; however, you may leave the wings to marinate in the fridge for a richer flavor if desired.

Can I Cook These In An Air Fryer?

We have oven-baked our Keto chicken wings until lightly golden and caramelized. If you are looking for an alternative cooking method, these would also be great chucked on the BBQ grill, or they can be cooked in the basket of an air fryer. Cook the wings in two batches, so they are fried in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, turning halfway through. Cook longer if needed.

Serving Suggestions

We love our Keto chicken wings served hot with a side of cauliflower rice or served with some buttery green beans or broccoli. Alternatively, you can also serve the wings cold, making them a great meal prep option. Perfect as leftovers accompanied by a hearty low carb salad or a creamy Keto slaw.

Ingredients

8 medium chicken wing
2 teaspoon ginger, ground
2 teaspoon lemon peel or zest raw
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon maple flavored syrup by lakanto
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt, sea salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the ginger, garlic powder, lemon zest, olive oil, syrup, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Mix well to combine. You may adjust seasonings and spices as desired, adding more or less as you wish.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer across a lightly oiled shallow oven tray. Brush the wings all over in the prepared dressing. The wings should be liberally coated and evenly covered.
Transfer the wings to the oven to bake for 30 minutes, or longer as needed. The wings should be golden and caramelized all over and completely cooked through. Serve with your preferred low carb sides.
