The crispy coating, created from crushed pork rinds and spices, elevates the flavor profile and delivers a unique twist on traditional wings.

The Perfect Crunch

What sets these wings apart is the delightful texture achieved from the pork rind coating.

As they bake, the rinds transform into a crispy layer that envelops the juicy chicken, ensuring every bite is a crunchy delight.

A Flavorful Coating

The blend of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a hint of cayenne adds depth to the flavor, creating a deliciously seasoned crust.

This combination enhances the natural taste of the chicken while still keeping it low in carbs.

Each wing starts with a dip in a simple egg wash before being generously coated in the pork rind mixture, allowing for maximum adherence and crunch.

Cooking to Perfection

Baking these wings is a straightforward process that yields outstanding results.

By preheating your oven and preparing a parchment-lined baking sheet, you set the stage for even cooking.

Rotating the wings halfway through ensures that they brown evenly, resulting in a golden and crispy finish.
