If you haven't tried my awesome low carb sweet and sour sauce - now's the time! 

It's the perfect copycat recipe of the classic Chinese sauce - and although is often served with chicken pieces, it works very well over wings too. The sauce can very easily be made in advance - just store it in an airtight container in the fridge. You only need a half cup of sauce for this recipe, so you'll have plenty left over for other uses - like my keto sweet and sour chicken!

How to Make Sugar Free Sweet and Sour Wings

Prepare the wings (if not already divided into wingettes and drumettes). Use sharp kitchen shears to cut off (and discard) the tips. Then bend the remaining wing in the opposite direction to expose the joint, and cut along that area to divide the two parts.

Place the wings on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper.

Roast for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven or until the wings have reached an internal temperature of at least 165F. Meanwhile, make the low carb sweet and sour sauce if not already prepared in advance.

When the wings are ready, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the top.

Stir well to mix, then serve, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. 

The sauce works perfectly with the crispy skin and tender meat of the wings. Totally moreish!
