Nice & Crispy!
If we were to ever rename our blog, it’d probably be Spiceaholics. We absolutely love spicy foods. We love the burn and the flavor hot peppers bring to dishes like omelettes, fish, and even chocolate pudding! We also love eating the peppers themselves- stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon, of course.
When we’re in a pinch or traveling and want a quick lunch or dinner, we always go for keto chicken wings. They’re full of fat and protein, and if not breaded, pretty low carb! We always like to get different, unusual flavors of chicken wings but our favorite is always the classic buffalo! To make the buffalo sauce we all know and love, you simply combine Frank’s Red Hot sauce and butter – that’s it! You can also add any seasonings of your choice like some extra salt, pepper, paprika or garlic powder. We also add a dash of cayenne pepper to make the buffalo sauce extra spicy. Maybe 2 dashes.
If you were ever wondering how to make buffalo wings, it’s easy! Unlike many other recipes that require baking or frying, this recipe simply requires a broiler. It’s so simple to prepare these easy buffalo wings, we end up enjoying them a few times a week!

Let’s make some easy chicken wings!
| Servings: servings |
- 6 chicken wings (6 wingettes, 6 drumettes)
- 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- paprika
- cayenne (optional)
- Start by breaking your chicken wings into 2 pieces (the wingettes and drumettes, discarding the tips). Pour a bit of Frank's Red Hot sauce over the wings, just enough to coat them lightly.
- Season your wings and toss to cover them well. Refrigerate for about an hour. If you're strapped for time, you can skip the refrigeration and move on to the next step.
- Turn your broiler on to high and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum paper. Lay out the chicken wings so they have enough space between them for the flame to reach the sides.
- Let them cook under the broiler for about 8 minutes. The tops of the wings should turn a nice dark brown. Some bits may turn almost black if they're very close to the flames.
- While they're broiling, melt down 2 tablespoons of butter and the rest of your hot sauce. You may season it lightly with cayenne pepper if you'd like a spicier wing, like we do! Once the butter has melted, take the sauce off the heat.
- Take the wings out of the broiler and flip them. Place them back in the broiler for 6-8 minutes. Keep an eye on them!
- Once they're nice and browned on all sides, place them in a deep mixing bowl and pour your prepared hot sauce over them. Toss to coat them evenly.
- Enjoy them with some keto cole slaw, celery, carrots and bleu cheese!
