These crispy chicken wings are a fantastic option for anyone craving that comforting fried chicken flavor—without the gluten! I’ve found that using finely ground pork rinds as a coating gives these wings an incredible crunch while keeping them low-carb and full of flavor. The combination of eggs, heavy cream, and your favorite hot sauce creates a luscious base that helps the coating stick beautifully.

Perfect for game days, family gatherings, or just a cozy night in, these wings are sure to please everyone at the table. I love how simple they are to prepare, and you can adjust the spices to suit your taste. Whether you prefer them mildly seasoned or with a spicy kick, these wings will become a go-to favorite in your kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup finely ground pork rinds
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (or to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cajun seasoning or Old Bay (optional)
  • Lard or tallow, for frying

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and optional Cajun seasoning or Old Bay.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and hot sauce until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine the finely ground pork rinds and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Dip each chicken wing into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
  5. Coat the wing in the pork rind mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
  6. Heat lard or tallow in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  7. Carefully add the coated wings to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.
  8. Fry for 5-8 minutes per side, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  10. Remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on paper towels before serving.
