What Makes This Korean Chicken Wings Keto?

This keto Korean chicken wings recipe uses the traditional Gochujang paste and Gochugaru (red pepper powder).  To enhance the peppers flavour, we used our Keep Keto Roasted Capsicum And Chilli Relish to add more pepper flavour to the sauce. It replaces the traditional sugary ingredients that are used to make this marinade.  So it’s low in sugar, low in carbs and absolutely guilt free.

Marinading The Chicken
  1. Mix all the ingredients in the marinating sauce in a blender until smooth.  The consistency should be thick but runny enough to baste the chicken.
  2. Put 2/3 of the marinade in a plastic bag and add chicken to mix in the marinade.
  3. Swirl the bag around until the chicken pieces are well coated.
  4. Marinade for at least 4 hours in the fridge.  Overnight is best.

Baking The Chicken
  1. Pre-heat oven to 220 deg Celsius for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange chicken on the tray.  Do not overcrowd the tray so the chicken will bake crisper.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes then turn over.
  4. If too much liquid comes out, line another baking tray and transfer chicken wings to new tray.
  5. Bake for another 10 minutes. 
  6. Change oven to grill.
  7. Baste the chicken wings with the remaining 1/3 sauce and grill until skin is slightly browned.
  8. Serve on a plate and garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions.
