Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
While the wings are baking, prepare the raspberry chipotle sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar-free raspberry jam, chipotle peppers, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until well combined.
If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to reach the desired consistency. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Place the wings in a large bowl and pour the raspberry chipotle sauce over them. Toss until all the wings are generously coated with the sauce.
Serve the wings immediately, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley if desired.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add an extra chipotle pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.The sugar-free raspberry jam can be homemade or store-bought, but ensure it's sweetened with a keto-friendly sweetener.Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.If you prefer to use an air fryer, cook the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time.Always check the internal temperature of the chicken wings with a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached a safe 165°F (74°C).
