Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Pork rinds, crushed
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground pepper
• 1.5 cups Coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
• 0.25 cup Sugar-free ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 Green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground pepper.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs.

Step 3

Prepare the chicken by patting the wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

Dip each chicken wing in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 5

Then coat the chicken wing in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is fully covered. Repeat for all wings.

Step 6

In a deep pan or fryer, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Fry the chicken wings in batches for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 8

To make the sauce, in a small saucepan, combine gochugaru, sugar-free ketchup, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 9

Transfer the fried chicken wings to a serving plate, and drizzle generously with the prepared sauce.

Step 10

Garnish the wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
