Chicken Wings

BBQ chicken wings topped with sesame seeds

Chicken wings have become a favorite recipe in my household. As much as wings are a favorite, I still am careful not to polish off a huge plate of them. The nutritional counts vary wildly — mostly based on what you consider a portion and if the "tips" are included in the weight. Especially if you use a sugar-free sauce or a rub, you can still enjoy the wings — just not all 2 pounds and not more often than once every couple of weeks! You can prepare chicken thighs or chicken breasts the same way (but a little less cooking for the breasts).

Ingredients

2 pounds of fresh chicken wings (this will be 900 grams and comes to 8 good-sized wings with the tips)

Denny Mike's Pixie dust

3/4 cup Guy's Sugar Free BBQ Sauce - any flavor

  1. Set oven to 325 degrees.

  2. Boil a small pot of water. When it comes to a boil shut it off, add wings and cover the pot for three minutes.

  3. Lay out wings on aluminum foil and generously sprinkle with Mike and Denny's Pixie Dust.

  4. Put in oven (uncovered) for 35 minutes.

  5. (Optional) AT THIS POINT: If you want to just keep them a dry roasted wing, sprinkle with a little more Pixie Dust and return to the oven. If you are doing this, consider brushing the wings with butter or oil so they stay a little bit moist.)

  6. Take wings out of the oven and cover with sauce. (For this recipe I used 3/4 cup total but you can adjust to your own liking.)

  7. Put wings back in oven for 30 minutes.

  8. Set broiler on high and move wings to the top shelf and broil for 5 minutes. At this point if you have the grill going for other things (but I wouldn't do it for just 8 wings — but you can!), put the wings on the grill instead of under the broiler until wings brown and crisp.
