Here is a great recipe for nutritious Keto chicken wings:
-Start by setting up your sous vide at 160. Bag your wings and cook for at least 2 hours.
-Remove wings and pat wings dry. Chill in the fridge for several hours, but overnight is better. I use a wire baking rack over a pan with aluminium foil for easy clean up. Letting the wings sit uncovered in the fridge dries all the moisture out of the skin to help provide a good crisp when you perform the next step.
-Get setup to flash fry the wings in *avocado oil. I've used a wok on the stove and a small fry daddy. I like to use a lot of oil to get that deep fry crisp. Note: I do not **season or bread the wings at all which helps you be able to reuse the oil several times.
-I flash fry the wings in the avocado oil for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, I get my favorite hot buffalo sauce and pat of butter going in a big bowl in the microwave. You really just want the butter to be melted and mixed in well.
-Pull the wings out of the fryer and toss in the big bowl with sauce and butter until they are fully coated. Serve and enjoy as soon as they cool down.
*Avocado is great to fry with because it's healthy and has a high smoke point. You can buy a large thing of it at Costco, but it will be more expensive than other cheap oils that are typically used when frying.
**I do not season/bread the wings because we like them naked, you could certainly bread them with almond flour or pork rinds prior to the refrigerator step (if you're trying to stay keto).
