Crispy Garlic Battered Chicken Wings

I usually make up these delightful crispy garlic battered chicken wings for parties and game nights. There is a secret to making these, however. That is the addition of cold, cold sparkling water to add the bubble which creates the crispiness. The great thing is, these wings are easy to make and air fried which makes them healthy. They made with bread crumbs so they contain little or no carbs. This makes them keto friendly except for the flour.

Let’s face it guys, who can’t resist wings. Serve them up with your favourite sauce. What a treat!

Note

As always, you can alter the ingredients to meet your tastes. For example, if you like you wings on the hot side, add a bit more pepper. If you don't like them as hot, add less. 

I air fry the wings, but you can deep fry or make them in the oven. Just adjust to cooking time accordingly.
