Keto Chicken Wings

These Keto Chicken Wings are one of my favorite nibbles to serve to guests. A universally loved appetizer, they work just as well as the main course. I like to serve with Keto Peanut Sauce, which perfectly compliments the Thai inspired flavors in the marinade. You can make this recipe kid-friendly by subbing out a mild pepper or kick up the heat by adding another pepper to the marinade.
