01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top—give the rack a quick spray with cooking spray so the wings don’t stick.
02
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, a bit of sucralose, salt, and garlic powder until everything’s combined. Take it off the heat and set it aside for now.

Step 3
Arrange the chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Pop them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. When the time’s up, carefully drain any juices that have collected in the pan, flip the wings over, and bake for another 15 minutes.

Step 4
Once they’ve baked, transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss everything well to make sure each wing is nicely coated. Put the wings back on the rack and bake again until they’re cooked through—this could take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the meat isn’t pink near the bone and the juices run clear. If you have a thermometer, it should read 165°F (74°C). Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These wings are packed with bold flavors without the extra carbs. They offer a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, making them a great choice for anyone following a low-carb or keto lifestyle. Plus, baking instead of frying keeps them healthier and easier to prepare.
How to serve
Serve these wings with a side of crunchy celery sticks and a creamy blue cheese or ranch dip. They also pair well with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to keep the meal light and keto-friendly.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven or air fryer to maintain their crispiness instead of using a microwave.
