Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for soy-free)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or other low-carb sweetener)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (for thickening)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set a wire rack on top for even cooking.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up during baking.

Step 3

Place the chicken wings on the prepared wire rack and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the low-carb teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), water, granulated erythritol, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the erythritol dissolves completely. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Slowly sprinkle the xanthan gum into the sauce while whisking constantly to thicken. Continue whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency, then remove it from the heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce slightly.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions (if using) before serving. Enjoy the wings hot as a delicious low-carb appetizer or main dish!
