super creamy thick low carb chia pudding
Breakfast

Easy 4-Ingredient Vanilla Chia Pudding Recipe

by Joanna
written by Joanna

This 4-Ingredient Chia pudding is a healthy snack or breakfast that’s very low in carbs and loaded with nutrients, protein, fiber, and fats. It’s a dairy-free recipe made with unsweetened plant-based milk, chia seeds, and sweetener of choice.

easy vanilla chia pudding

This Chia Seed Pudding has a fantastic vanilla flavor that’s perfect for different toppings such as fruits, chocolate, nuts & seeds. Adding toppings makes the pudding satisfying, nutrient-dense, and delicious. It keeps me full for hours!

Watch the short video below to see how easy is to make this creamy chia pudding!

Ingredients for Vanilla Keto Chia Pudding

To start making chia pudding, you’ll need a medium bowl, unsweetened plant-based milk (almond milk, coconut milk, chia milk or any milk you love), a few tablespoons of chia seeds, your sweetener of choice, vanilla extract.

Sometimes I don’t add any sweetener and prefer to sweeten the pudding with toppings such as fresh low carb fruits, sugar-free chocolate chips, or frozen berries.

keto creamy chia pudding with fruits

Here are all the ingredients you’ll need:

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp Erythritol
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

To make thick and creamy pudding and get the perfect texture I like to use 3 tablespoons of chia seeds for every cup of milk.

Coconut milk is naturally sweet, so you don’t have to add too much sweetener. You can use a combo of canned creamy coconut milk (add about 2 heaping tablespoons) and carton coconut milk for a super creamy pudding.

how to make chia pudding

PRO TIP: There’s one trick I want to share with you: using warm milk will hydrate the chia seeds faster! This way you don’t have to wait at least four hours until it is ready. It will be still liquidy, but once the chia absorbs the liquids, it will become very creamy and tasty.

If time isn’t a problem you can make overnight chia pudding by simply combining all the ingredients and refrigerate until the next day for the creamiest keto breakfast.

How to Make Chia Pudding?

  1. When making chia pudding the essential part is incorporating the seeds into the milk. You should do this step twice: once in the beginning and once after 10 minutes. This will ensure that your pudding has no clumps and it’s creamy.
  2. Finally, transfer the chia pudding into individual servings small jars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. It should be enough for the chia seeds to absorb the milk and the sweetener.

Toppings for Vegan Chia Pudding

  • Fresh Berries
  • Mint Leaves
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Shredded Coconut

How to Make Smooth Chia Pudding

If you’re not a fan of whole chia seeds and find the texture too slimy, I have a solution! 

GRIND THE SEEDS! Yes, you heard, right. To make the creamiest chia pudding, use a food processor to turn the chia seeds into a powder. Then add the chia flour to the milk and combine it with the rest of the ingredients. 

This fine chia powder has many uses as it’s a great thickening agent. You have to try my raspberry chia jam and serve with 90 seconds bread!

How to Store Chia Pudding?

I usually love to prep it at night and enjoy it in the morning. It’s best to consume it within 2 days for the best flavor and freshness.

In our house, everyone loves chia pudding, so it never lasts for more than one day, but I suggest making the number of servings you plan on eating over 2 or 3 days.

Is Chia Pudding Keto?

If you are wondering if you chia pudding is keto, the answer is YES!

Not only that chia seeds are a superfood, but they are recommended to eat in a keto diet because they are high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

These tiny seeds are packed with tons of nutrients: Calcium, Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorus. They also contain zinc, vitamin B3 (niacin), potassium, vitamin B1 (thiamine), and vitamin B2.

Carbs in Keto Chia Pudding

Look at these fantastic macros: 1 oz (2 tablespoons) of chia seed contains:

  • Calories: 138 kcal
  • Fiber: 10 grams
  • Protein: 5 gram
  • Fat: 9 grams (5 grams are Omega-3s -> the stuff that’s good for you!)

One egg has 77 calories, 6g protein, and almost 0g carbs. They are perfect to eat on a keto diet because it’s low in carb and nutrient-dense.

  • Homemade Mayonnaise or Avocado Mayo

Ingredients for the keto egg salad and how to serve it

How to make Keto Egg Salad?

Making keto egg salad is effortless. Here’s everything you need to do:

  1. Boil six eggs and let them cool down. You can boil and peel the eggs in advance, refrigerate them until you need to make the salad.
  2. Chop the eggs and avocado into bite-size pieces and throw them into a medium bowl.
  3. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, dill or chives, salt, and pepper
  4. Mix the salad well to combine and DEVOUR!

To keep things light, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and mash the avocado instead of chopping it. The salad will still be creamy and delicious.

How To Store Keto Egg Salad?

Store the leftover keto egg salad in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Do not keep this salad at room temperature for the reason that bacteria grows faster at a higher temperature.

Are Eggs Healthy?

Eggs are almost the healthiest foods on the planet because they are extremely nutritious. Despite the misinformation spread all over the media, whole eggs, especially the yolks should be consumed to get all the nutrients.

According to USDA, one large egg (50g) has 71.5 calories, 6.28g protein, and almost 0g carbs (0.36g carbs).

Eggs are perfect to eat on a keto diet because it’s low in carb and nutrient-dense.

How to Cook Perfect Boiled Eggs?

Boiling eggs sounds like such an easy task but sometimes can be so problematic. They either not cooked enough, too hard or the peel just won’t come off.

There are a few factors you need to consider when cooking eggs such as initial egg temperature, egg size, the kind of pot you’re using to boil eggs, room temperature, and even altitude.

To boil perfect eggs for egg salad with avocado, place the eggs on the bottom of a saucepan, leaving enough space between them. Fill the pot with cold water, just to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and remove it from heat. Set a timer to 10 minutes and after the time is over transfer the eggs to ice water to stop the cooking process immediately.

Foolproof Fluffy & Thick Keto Pancakes with Coconut Flour Recipe

Are you bored with the classic keto breakfast? Well, the keto diet is more than bacon, eggs, and avocado which I love.

These Keto Pancakes are the perfect breakfast for when you want something different, but still filling and delicious. I created the only low carb pancake recipe you’ll ever need.

You’ll also love my keto granola recipe!

These flourless pancakes got great feedback from all my family members, and it’s 100% child approved.

Coconut Flour Keto Pancakes Ingredients

I’m a huge fan of coconut flour since it’s so low in carbs, it’s packed with fiber, flavor and it’s way cheaper than almond flour. I use coconut flour to drastically reduce the carbs in keto desserts and baked goods.

Here are all the necessary ingredients

  • eggs
  • coconut flour
  • heavy whipping cream or canned coconut milk*
  • butter or coconut oil*
  • cream cheese or coconut cream*
  • vanilla extract
  • cinnamon
  • Erythritol, Xylitol or Honey*
  • baking powder
  • lemon zest, optional but very tasty’

*substitutions for the paleo pancakes version

How to Make Coconut Flour Pancakes?

It’s pretty easy to make these keto pancakes. If you have made classic pancakes in the past, you’ll have no problem cooking these coconut flour beauties. One thing to keep in mind is to stick with the measurements I give you.

Coconut flour is different than wheat flour since it’s gluten-free and low in carbs.

  1. To start making the pancakes you’ll need to combine the eggs and the wet ingredients in a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer to make the process easier. A whisk does the job too.
  2. After a few minutes add coconut flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and keep mixing until you get a perfect coconut flour pancakes batter.
  3. To cook low carb coconut flour pancakes you’ll need a non-stick pan over medium heat. Melt a cube of butter and pour 1/4 pancake batter. Let the pancake cook on each side and continue until there’s no pancake batter left.
  4. Now, that you’ve made coconut flour pancakes keto, it’s time to devour them! Serve with plenty of berries and sugar-free maple syrup (my favorite!).

How many carbs are in the keto pancakes?

This recipe makes 3 servings of 2 keto pancakes. Each serving has 5g net carbs.

a serving of keto pancakes with coconut flour

Is Coconut Flour Keto Friendly?

Yes, coconut flour is perfect for a ketogenic diet, as it’s very low in carbs and high in fiber. It’s my favorite low carb replacement for flour.

How many carbs are in coconut flour? Each tablespoon of coconut flour has 60 calories, 4g carbohydrates, 3g dietary fiber, so that’s a total of 1g net carbs.

NET CARBS = TOTAL CARBODYDRATES – FIBER – SUGAR ALCOHOLS (ERYTHRITOL, XYLITOL)

keto paleo low carb pancakes recipe

Can I Replace Coconut Flour with Almond Flour?

In this particular recipe trying to replace the coconut flour with almond flour will make pancakes completely different in macros and texture.

However, you can use almond flour instead, but you’ll have to add about 1 cup almond flour.

How to Store Keto Pancakes 

These low carb pancakes are best served fresh, straight out of the stove. 

I made 6 pancakes, meaning 2 servings that are enough for 3 people or perfect to enjoy during the week. 

If I make a batch of the gluten-free pancakes over the weekend, I store the rest of the pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge. They make the perfect keto breakfast for the next week. 

Keto Pancakes with coconut flour are freezer-friendly, so you can double or triple this recipe and make more pancakes. They freeze just like traditional pancakes and are great to have on hand. 

Are These Paleo Pancakes?

The best thing about this recipe is that they are super low carb, keto, and paleo-friendly, with only a few ingredients switches.

All the ingredients are simple and low carb that are in my pantry almost every time. For a paleo pancakes version, substitute the dairy product to non-dairy alternatives such as coconut cream or coconut oil.

You can use coconut sugar or maple syrup instead of Erythritol if you aren’t a fan of keto sweeteners.

The rest of the process of making gluten-free pancakes remains the same and takes only a few minutes.

Thick and Creamy Homemade Keto Hot Chocolate

by Joanna
written by Joanna

This keto hot chocolate is rich, creamy, decadent, super thick with an intense chocolate flavor. Serve with sugar-free homemade whipped cream for a delicious treat.

delicious sugar-free hot chocolate recipe

I love drinking coffee, and often I have a Bulletproof coffee because it’s delicious. With the weather getting so cold, I prefer more warm drinks, and I usually make a cup of tea or hot chocolate. As you know I’m a huuuuge huge chocolate fan and I also love a piece of my fudgy keto brownies or a chocolate mug cake to have with my drink.

Hot chocolate is a drink that can be made either from cocoa powder or chopped unsweetened chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons Erythritol – Feel free to use your favorite sweeteners such as Monk Fruit, Xylitol (extremely toxic for dogs), or Granulated Stevia.
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping – For a dairy-free vegan hot chocolate option, use canned coconut milk.
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk or macadamia nut milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum or 1 tbsp chia seeds powder or 1 tbsp coconut flour (to thicken)
thick and creamy keto hot chocolate

How to Make Thick Keto Hot Chocolate

There are three ways to make a super thick and creamy hot chocolate. To thicken this drink naturally, I use either xanthan gum that adds zero carbs, chia seeds powder, or coconut flour.

  1. Start by dissolving the cocoa powder and sweetener with a few tablespoons of almond milk to avoid the clumps.
  2. Pour in the heavy whipping cream or the coconut milk, and almond milk mixing constantly. Put the saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
  3. Mix in a slurry with the preferred thickener. Slowly whisk into the hot chocolate until thickened.  
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Taste and adjust the sweetness.

It’s so thick and has a pudding-like texture; you’ll need a tablespoon or a large straw to enjoy it.

super thick low carb hot chocolate recipe

Thicken with Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are known for their fantastic thickening property. Using these seeds means first to grind them into a fine powder. If that’s too time-consuming for you, I have two other alternatives.

Use Xanthan gum

To thicken the hot chocolate with xanthan gum, you’ll need to use just a little bit. It has zero carbs and also thickens sauces, stews. Start with ¼ of a teaspoon and add more as needed. Too much xanthan gum can make the drink very slimy.

Add coconut flour

Whisk one tablespoon of coconut flour with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry and then add to the simmering hot chocolate.

by Joanna
written by Joanna

These soft buns are perfect for hamburgers, sandwiches, also low carb and keto-friendly. This recipe doesn’t involve lots of kneading the dough, and it’s ready less than 1 hour!

easy keto buns for sandwiches

I love bread, and I had to find the easiest way to replace classic white bread with a low carb version. This recipe is actually easier than my White Keto Bread, and it turns out perfect every time. If you’re a lover of super fast recipes, you might like my 90 seconds bread, too.

Ingredients

  • Almond flour
  • Psyllium husk powder
  • Hot water
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Egg whites – using only the whites significantly reduce that eggy taste in most gluten-free bread and help them to raise beautifully.
  • Baking powder
  • Sesame seeds
ingredients for the best almond flour buns

How to Make Keto Buns

  • To make these buns, combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Use a spatula to break any clumps. You can sift the flours to get rid of the bigger chunks of almond flour and reduce the gritty taste.
  • I am using a hand mixer whisk together the egg whites, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt until soft peaks start to form. It’s essential to beat the eggs first for fluffy buns.
  • Add the hot water and the beaten eggs to the dry ingredients and combine well. Try not to over knead the dough.
  • Oil your hands and form 6 rolls. Place them on a greased baking sheet. Brush each bun with egg yolk and sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds.
  • Place the buns in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of your rolls. You know they are baked when they formed a hard crust and beautifully browned.

PRO TIP: This dough is super versatile and can be used in so many ways. For example, shape it in different ways to make hot dog buns or hamburger buns.

Keto Almond Flour Buns Macros

The macros in these buns are fantastic. Compared to a classic bun that contains more than 20 grams of carbs, these keto buns have only 2 net carbs and plenty of fiber that’s vital in a well-balanced ketogenic diet.

Why are my buns purple?

If your buns have turn purple, it’s happened because of the brand of psyllium husk used. You can try using the same brand as the one used by me to make this recipe. Although they don’t look very appetizing, it’s okay to eat the purple buns.

Remember to drink plenty of water when including psyllium husk into your meals to prevent constipation.

How to Store your gluten-free buns? 

This recipe makes 6 keto buns, so you’ll have bread ready for the whole week. There are 2 options:

  1. Store the buns in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, and toast in the toaster when needed. You can also heat them in the microwave if you don’t have a problem using one.
  2. Cut the buns in half and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Low Carb Keto Crack Slaw - Easy Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
Dinner

Low Carb Keto Crack Slaw – Easy Egg Roll in a Bowl

by Joanna
written by Joanna

This Low Carb Keto Crack Slaw is seriously addictive, so delicious, and easy to make. It will become a staple week-night keto dinner at your house. Enjoy a tasty egg roll in a bowl that’s ready in 15 minutes, with simple low carb ingredients.

Keto crack slaw is one of our family’s quick dinners! If you’re wondering, “what’s is crack slaw?”, let me tell you that it’s also called low carb egg in a bowl. That’s because it tastes exactly like homemade egg rolls minus the wrapping and frying part. They are usually a great snack or starter for any Asian Style Meal. We’ll only make the filling and enjoy it as a whole meal. It’s a healthy and quick dinner that’s ready in 15 minutes — the perfect recipe for busy days. 

I love this recipe because it’s made with wholesome ingredients that perfectly fit in a low carb lifestyle. I’m trying to stick to unprocessed foods and include tons of low carb vegetables as much as possible.

This recipe is filled with high nutritional value ingredients that are gluten-free and low carb. If you are still not convinced to try this recipe, please note that crack slaw is also paleo, grain-free, dairy-free, and a Whole30 meal recipe. 

What are the Ingredients in Crack Slaw or Egg Roll in a Bowl?

If you’ve never made a crack bowl or egg roll in a bowl, you need to know that this recipe is s a stir fry made with ground beef, cabbage mix, and Asian spices. Out of convenience, I use the pre-shredded coleslaw mix because one thing I love is to uncomplicate my life and cut down the prep time.

The list of ingredients is short and here’s everything you’ll need:

  • coleslaw mix – You can also make a homemade coleslaw by chopping the white, red cabbage, and carrot. 
  • ground beef – Here, you can use any kind of ground meat you have on hand: chicken, pork, turkey. Update: I made this recipe with ground turkey and it was fabulous: super tasty, quick and the best way to eat my veggies!
  • garlic & fresh ginger – A staple in Asian cuisine that gives this dish so much flavor. 
  • olive oil or sesame oil – I recommend using light sesame oil because it’s suitable for frying (it has a higher smoke point). It brings a toasty and nutty flavor. 
  • soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • hot sauce
  • vinegar
  • salt & pepper
  • green onions & sesame seeds

How To Make Egg Roll In a Bowl?

To make this Chinese inspired egg roll in a bowl or how I like to call it a healthy and easy version of it, you’ll need to stir-fry all the ingredients and season them well. The best part when cooking at home is that you can control what ingredients you put into the recipe. 

Here’s how to make easy egg roll in a bowl: 

  • Start by stir-frying the meat in a tablespoon of olive oil or sesame oil. The meat I used for this keto crack slaw is ground beef. Season it with salt and pepper. Once cooked, drain the extra fats and transfer to a bowl. Keep warm!
  • Sautee the freshly grated garlic and ginger. To bring out the incredible flavors, fry them in sesame oil for a few minutes, stirring constantly. 
  • Add the coleslaw mix. Reduce the heat and add the cabbage mix. Season with soy sauce, hot sauce, and vinegar.
  • Combine the cooked meat and sautéed cabbage.
  • Serve with sesame seeds, green onions, and extra hot sauce if desired.

How Many Carbs Are in a Classic Egg Roll?

One classic Asian egg roll that is wrapped up and fried provides about 23 carbs. 

Our keto egg roll in a bowl is less than 5g net carbs per serving, which is a quarter less, and the flavors are still there.

Blueberry muffins with only 2g carbs.

Watch the quick video below where I show you how to make them.

Ingredients for Keto Paleo Blueberry Muffins

These grain-free muffins are made with almond flour and coconut flour which makes them gluten-free and very healthy.

You can make these muffins with fresh or frozen blueberries. Don’t defrost the blueberries before adding them!

Here’s everything you’ll need:

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (coconut milk or almond milk)

How to Make Paleo Coconut Cream Lemon Frosting for Muffins

  • 1/2 cup (7 oz) coconut cream, chilled
  • a few stevia drops
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

I love to make these blueberry muffins with butter and heavy whipping cream, but I decided to give a try and make them dairy-free. My boyfriend is on a dairy-free keto diet, trying to get rid of Candida Overgrowth. The muffins were a hit and took a few at work with him!!

These blueberry muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast paired with my 2 ingredients keto yogurt.

How to make Keto Paleo Blueberry Muffins?

  1. Preheat the oven to 360F/180C. Line a muffin tin with muffin cups and spray them with oil.
  2. In a bowl mix 3 eggs using a hand mixer until frothy.
  3. Add the coconut cream (or heavy whipping cream), the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sweeter. Continue mixing for about 60 seconds.
  4. In a separate bowl combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
  5. Mix the flour with the egg mixture until well combined.
  6. Using a spatula, incorporate the blueberries into the batter.
  7. Divide the batter into 9 muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Let the blueberry muffins cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
  9. Meanwhile, prepare the coconut cream lemon frosting. Using a hand mixer whip the coconut cream, stevia drops, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  10. Top each muffin with enough lemon frosting and enjoy!

TIP NO. 1: Sprinkle 1 tbsp Erythritol on the top of the muffins before baking them to make them crunchy and delicious.

TIP NO. 2. Use erythritol you want super moist blueberry muffins. I noticed that the texture is very different when I use erythritol: it’s moist and less dry.

How many carbs are in the keto blueberry muffins?

If you are wondering how many carbs are in each keto blueberry muffins I’ve got you covered. I try my best to provide accurate nutritional information of each recipe I post. With ingredients I used, each muffin has around 3g carbs, 1g fiber, so 2g net carbs*.

*Net Carbs = Total Carb Count – Dietary Fiber – Sugar Alcohols ( from Xylitol and Erythritol)

written by Joanna

These Extremely Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wings are air fried in the Air Fryer, but you can bake them in the oven. It’s possible to make crispy & juicy chicken wings without deep frying them in tons of oil.

These Extremely Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wings are air fried in the Air Fryer, but you can bake them in the oven. It’s possible to make crispy & juicy chicken wings without deep frying them in tons of oil.

While baking these chicken wings in the oven is an excellent alternative to frying them, the Air Fryer version is quicker and cleaner. They are ready in less than 30 minutes and so easy to make. Perfect for any low carb diet such as a keto or paleo diet, these buffalo wings have less than 1g carb per serving.

I add no potato starch or wheat flour, but they are still crispy! You can use fresh or frozen chicken wings, a few of your favorite spices. I’ll show you how to make the easiest low carb buffalo sauce. Trust me! You’ll never know these are not deep fried wings.

I made these air fried wings every two days since I got this fantastic XL Air Fryer for Christmas from my family. My mother has one since summer and uses it every day to cook meat, vegetables, burgers. Almost anything you think of can be cooked in an Air Fryer – even cakes.

These wings are perfect for the Game Day Parties, Superbowl or any other family & friends gathering. Have them during a usual weekday when you need to cook something fast and delicious.

Ingredients for Crispy Chicken Wings

  • Chicken wings
  • Seasonings
  • Baking powder (Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid the bitter taste)

Low Carb Keto Wings Buffalo Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions for crispy chicken wings in the Air Fryer

Let’s stop talking and get straight to cooking. Here’s all you have to do:

  1. Using a sharp knife cut about 10 whole chicken wings and discard the wing tips. You’ll end up having 20 wing pieces: 10 drumettes and 10 flaps.
  2. Put the wings to a medium bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder.
  3. Time for the SECRET INGREDIENT that will make the wings extremely crispy: baking powder (NOT BAKING SODA!!!).
  4. Using your hands massage the seasonings and baking powder into the chicken wings skin. This way all the wings are well coated in spices.
  5. Place the wings into a single layer in the basket and insert it into the Air Fryer.
  6. Set the air fryer to 340F / 170C and cook for 13 minutes.
  7. When the time is up, increase the temperature to 400F and cook for another 13 minutes.
  8. While the wings are cooking, make the buffalo sauce. In a bowl, combine the hot sauce (sugar-free for keto & low carb), melted butter, paprika, cayenne powder, garlic powder. Set aside.
  9. After the wings are done, cover them with buffalo sauce and serve. Enjoy!

Serving suggestion: Serve them with blue cheese dip, celery sticks, cucumber slices, or keto tortilla chips.

Chicken wings come in different sizes, so if your wings are larger increase the cooking time with about 5 minutes or until they look crispy and the meat gets easily off the bone.

Crispy Chicken Wings Tips

Can you use frozen chicken wings in an Air Fryer?Yes, you can cook frozen wings in an Air Fryer and get the same crispiness. Increase the initial cook time with 5 minutes at 330F ( 18 minutes total), before increasing the temperature at 390F. This will allow the wings to defrost and get crispy.

How long to air fry chicken wings? Chicken Wings take about 30 minutes to prepare in the Air Fryer.

Make sure you are using BAKING POWDER, not BAKING SODA. We use baking powder to change the ph of the skin which will make the wings very crispy. Here you can read the science (chemical reactions) behind using baking powder for crispy chicken wings.
