Wings are a favorite quick keto meal or appetizer that most everyone enjoys. Since they are small, chicken wings (aka party wings) cook quickly, especially if using an air fryer. This chicken wing recipe is finger lickin’ good just bare but toss them in your favorite sauce to make buffalo wings, garlic parmesan wings or sticky Asian wings.
One of the easiest and best ways to cook keto wings is in the air fryer. Chicken wings cooked in an air fryer creates an extra crispy crust on the outside to seal in the juicy chicken meat inside. A simple toss in the mildly spicy seasoning and you’re ready to cook.
Clean up is just as easy when using an air fryer. I simply place my air fryer basket in the dishwasher when I’m finished. No need to clean out an oil fryer or oil splatter. Or a large baking sheet if baking in the oven.

Can you eat chicken wings on keto?
Yes, the chicken wing is keto approved!
Chicken wings are loved by many on the keto diet as they have near perfect fat and protein ratios, are low in carbohydrates, and are incredibly delicious.
Most people on a low carb diet eat chicken wings because of the beautifully cooked crispy chicken skin. The skin contains most of the fat. The fat is composed of saturated fatty acids and a healthy monounsaturated fat called oleic acid. This fatty acid is also found in olive oil.

Alternative cook method: oven instructions
Spread the wings out on a baking tray lined with a cooling wire rack that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray. This prevents the skin from sticking to the bottom and allows for the bottom of the wing to crisp up too since air can reach it. Bake the wings at 400 °F for 45 - 60 minutes. You can turn the wings after 30 minutes to ensure even baking and crispiness.Keto baked wings in the oven still turn out marvelous if done right and I highly suggest you trying them even if you own an air fryer.
They turned out soooo good. I’ll definitely make them again in the Air Fryer
I don’t follow keto, but I used your recipe (recommended from my mom). I coated in different sauces when done! Finger lickin’ good!
Hi Sara. Thank you for your message. Lots of the recipes here are keto already.. meaning no tweaks from the traditional recipe to make it that way. Thanks for stopping in!
These wings were the bomb!, made them for Super Bowl and they were a hit. The only thing I added was “Slap your Mama” Cajun seasoning (1 tsp) to kick things up a notch. Thanks for a great recipe!
I came here for the wings recipe but got sold on the corn dogs! It never occurred to me to wrap them in keto dough. Of course, IRL I don’t eat corn dogs but now I just might!
The chicken wings were excellent. I added oat fiber to the seasoning mix to help them crisp up.
These are delicious and easy to make! I made these wings for the first time tonight, my husband and I agree that they are some of the best we have had. I like things a little less spicy so we used 2 tsp of chili powder and an extra tsp of the garlic powder.
