This paleo wing recipe is finger lickin’ good
I love chicken wings, which is why I have so many wing recipes on my site, and why I put together a whole collection Paleo Wing Recipes. Wings are an easy keto snack or meal — even this recipe with a little bit of honey in the sauce is pretty low in carbs with a good balance of protein and fats.
Can’t do honey? Omit it from the recipe entirely. Use coconut aminos instead, it will aslo bring a nice sweetness to the sauce that complements tangy vinegar.
You can use coconut vinegar or apple cider vinegar for this recipe — it’s a preference thing, really. Originally, malt vinegar was used to make salt and vinegar flavor.

Description
Salty, tangy and crispy wings!
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 3 pounds chicken wings, cut
- 3 teaspoons Redmond Real Salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (I use this brand)
For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup coconut vinegar (I use this brand)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon 5 spice
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Pat wings dry. Season with salt and pepper and baking soda. Toss to coat.
- Add olive oil and toss to coat.
- Line a sheet pan and put a rack on it. Line wings up on the rack so they don’t touch.
- Roast for 30 minutes at 300°F. After 30 minutes, increase the temperature to 400°F and roast for an addition 30 minutes.
- While the wings roast, prepare the sauce. In a sauce pot, combine all of the ingredients, except the white wine vinegar and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove sauce from the heat and stir in the white wine vinegar. Remove from the oven, use tongs to place the wings in a large bowl with the sauce and toss to coat. Then put the wings back on the rack and broil for 2-3 minutes.
- If you’re a vinegar lover, you can sprinkle some over the wings before serving and a little flake salt.
Recipe Notes:
Notes: to really amp up the vinegar flavor you can marinate the wings in a brine overnight. 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt. Make sure to dry the wings thoroughly before proceeding with the recipe.

Genevieve says
Your other crispy wing recipes use baking powder, why does this one use baking soda? Is it due to the vinegar?
Cristina Curp, FNTP says
Baking soda also helps with the browning process on its own. This recipe is just different than the others. The cooking method is a similar but different approach with great results
Jen says
How would this be with other cuts of chicken, like thighs? Or drumsticks? I actually hate wings…so much work for so little meat.
Cristina says
It will work with drumsticks
Sherryl Koga says
What can I use in place of the coconut vinegar?
Cristina says
apple cider vinegar or distilled vinegar will work
Cynthia says

You meantioned coconut aminos in the write up but I don’t see it in the recipe. How much should I add? Thanks!!

Nikki says
This was my first time cooking wings, and now I feel like a pro! My husband said they were the best wings he’s ever had and my kids fought over the last ones. Amazing flavor! We will be making these monthly with our wings for life from BB 🙂
