Buffalo Wings Can Fit into Your Diet:
As some of my readers may know, I have been on this Keto diet for about six weeks. I am always looking for ways to cook my meals and still have the same great flavors without the extra calories. I am sharing the recipes I have been cooking that keep me within my diet. Healthier versions of the comfort foods you love and doing so in a way that lets everyone enjoy them. With that in mind, I made these crispy air fryer Buffalo wings with these diets and likings in mind:
Paleo & Grain-Free: it Paleo Friendly
Egg-Free: no breading and no batter, so no eggs necessary
Gluten-Free: skipped the batter and breading, which makes these air Fryer chicken wing recipes naturally gluten-free.
Dairy-Free: I included a dairy-free option for the Buffalo Sauce, so there’s no need to miss out on the sauce you love if the butter in the sauce doesn’t love you back.
Whole30: You can enjoy crispy Buffalo chicken wings while eating on Whole30. Baking powder is not technically compliant if it contains corn starch, so we give you tips for making a simple, Whole30-compatible swap for the baking powder, so you get all the crispiness without the cornstarch.
Cooking Tips & Substitutions
To make your Air Fryer Buffalo Wings Paleo-friendly and Whole30-compatible, substitute one teaspoon baking soda + 2 teaspoons cream of tartar for the one tablespoon of baking powder in the recipe
To make the Buffalo sauce dairy-free, replace the butter or ghee with an equal amount of coconut oil.
