Saucy Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings
These saucy baked buffalo chicken wings are keto, low carb, paleo, grain-free, and so very simple to make.
Saucy Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings are a simple, low carb, grain-free, paleo recipe. Oh man, these are so very good! Just as yummy as my favorite wing restaurant!
These wings are spicy and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. You can always adjust the cayenne spice from mild to bold in the recipe.
My Hubby is a baby about spicy food. He cannot handle spicy at all. He liked these, so they must not be super spicy.
If they were at all spicy, then I would have heard the “You're trying to burn me with hot food!” comment.
I am a spicy food lover, so if I were making them for myself, then I probably would use even more cayenne than suggested in the recipe.
My older kids want me to make these all the time for them. These were perfect with some homemade low carb ranch and celery.
My family also loves these Keto Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Wings.

On a scale of 1-10 for 'fire', how hot are they? 10= max
Stacey
Hi Belinda, These are medium heat spicy, not fire hot wings. I would guess about a 5 to 6 on the spicy meter.
Belinda
Great! Thanks

If you are a true Buffalonian, you dip in blue cheese. Any recipes for that?
Monica
These look delicious! Is it 400cal per 2 wings? That seems high.
Stacey
Monica, that was a misprint. Sorry, it more like 200 per 2-3 wings, depending on wing size.
Doreen
