INGREDIENTS NOTES:
CHICKEN WINGS:
- We have to use fresh or frozen wings which have both flat and drumstick pieces so that they cook evenly and are also convenient for eating. We have to pat dry the chicken before the seasoning to make sure they are crisp.
BAKING POWDER:
- We have to use aluminum-free baking powder as it helps to remove moisture from the skin and it also makes the wings crispy and crunchy and it also prevents the metallic taste in the dish.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Salt and pepper are added to season the dish and it helps to bring the flavor to every dish.
COCONUT AMINOS:
- Coconut Aminos is a soy-free & gluten-free substitute for soy sauce that gives a delicious, umami flavor with less carbs and sodium and it is ideal for paleo and keto diets.
Erythritol powder:
- Erythritol powder or monk fruit sweetener provides a sweet taste in the glaze, which doesn’t increase blood sugar or the additional carbs content. We use the powder form of sweetener to make a smooth glaze.
RICE VINEGAR:
- Rice vinegar adds the tang in the dish and it also balances the glaze’s savory and sweet taste.
GINGER & GARLIC:
- We have to use fresh ginger and garlic as it adds aroma and depth and it also provides the real Chinese flavor to the sauce.
SESAME OIL:
- Sesame Oil contributes a deep, nutty flavor and aroma to the dish and it is typically used in making Chinese cuisine.
XANTHAN GUM:
- Xanthan gum is a low-carb thickening that gives the glaze a shiny, sticky feel without the additional carbs but we don’t have to overuse this as it will become a lot thicker than required.
CHILI FLAKES:
- We can also add some chili flakes or Sriracha to make the sauce spicy and we can adjust the amount of spice as we like.
