I’m no stranger to chicken wings. You will also love my Air Fryer Crispy Fried Chicken Wings, Air Fryer Southern Fried Chicken, Air Fryer Chicken Breasts, and Air Fryer Chicken Thighs recipes.

I just can’t get enough of my air fryer! Fried chicken has always been one of my favorite foods. There are so many ways to make fried chicken wings, including this buffalo chicken method which is completely keto-friendly and low carb.

These wings are practically carb free, with each serving having less than one gram of carbs.

Keto (Low-Carb) Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings Tips

1. Consider marinating your chicken wings.
2. You can make the chicken wings as spicy as you like or not spicy at all.
3. Pay attention to the state of the chicken while cooking and determine how long it will need to cook.

I love to marinate chicken wings. This helps add flavor to the chicken and produces so much flavor. If you wish to marinate, drizzle the soy sauce over the chicken in a Ziploc bag.

Next, add the seasonings and shake. Remove all of the air from the bag and seal. Store in the fridge for at least an hour to overnight.

You can make these wings as spicy as you wish. I like to use Frank’s RedHots and the sauce comes in a variety of flavors and spice levels. If you wish to keep the wings low-carb, be sure to read the labels carefully for any sugar that may be included.

Cook the chicken to your desired level of crunch. Every air fryer is different. The same exact cooking time isn’t going to work for every brand.

I have the Power Air Fryer and Black + Decker. The Black + Decker cooks food a lot faster than the Power Air Fryer, even when using the same temperature. Use your judgment to determine if the chicken has finished cooking.

Poke the chicken with a fork to determine if it’s crisp. Also, poke the inside with a fork. If the juice from the chicken runs clear, it has finished cooking. Also, maybe examine the inside of a wing to be sure it is no longer pink or red.

Keto Ranch Dressing

I also decided to make a keto low-carb ranch dressing to pair with these buffalo wings. It can be really frustrating to search for a ranch dressing that is low-sugar. So why not make your own?

I combined a handful of ingredients, many of which I had on hand at home, and it turned out perfectly! I actually prefer this dressing to store-bought and I wish I had come up with this recipe sooner!

I have made keto-ish ranch dressing as a dipping sauce in the past using the seasoning packets from Hidden Valley. The dip was great, but the carb count just isn’t as low as I would like it to be.
