Atkins Diet Recipes: Buffalo Wings

These wings are some of the best reasons to go on the Atkins Diet. They are completely legal for all phases of the diet and absolutely tasty. The Diet Coke is a unique ingredient, but it really does the trick. I reckon by adding the wings to the simmering sauce, the collagen helps thicken the sauce as well. Ingredients 3 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded 1 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce (Franks Hot Sauce recommended) www.amazon.com 1 can Diet Coke with Splenda 1 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste 1 tsp ground black pepper, or to taste 1/2 tsp Thyme 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1/2 TBS Dried Chopped Onions Instructions: * Cut the wings into pieces. * Mix other ingredients into large pot and start simmering. * Add wings to pot to give flavor * Heat Oil to 350-375F degrees * Add wings to fryer and cook until done (12-14 minutes) * Add wings back to Buffalo sauce and coat thoroughly
@dstenson1 I prefer Peanut Oil but will also use corn oil if I need to or funds don’t allow peanut oil.
What kind of oil do you cook with?
Remember I said specifically “Diet Coke with Splenda” because I absolutely agree aspartame-sweetened version should not be cooked. (Truth be told, I don’t reckon it should be drank either.
) Sucralose and Ace K in the DC w Splenda is heat stable and should be fine.
Thank you for you very kind words…
Thanks I really appreciate it. I’m not sure that aspartame (in Diet Coke) should be cooked… so I try to avoid it. But I am a freak about ribs. I really appreciate your suggestions! Congratulations on your incredible weight loss and continued support of the Atkins community.
I am a huge dry rub guy… I take most original dry rub recipes dump the brown sugar, double or triple paprika content, and add tbs or so of granulated Splenda. Throw some liquid smoke on the ribs as it cooks, and you are golden.
I’m an avid Atkins girl… and I like wings. I soak wings in Hot sauce (o carbs) for a day or so… then I grill them. They are not too hot… and the grill crisps the skin. They are really tasty and zero carb….. but I’d like a excellent rib recipe for low carb that doesnt use diet cola….
I bought some Diet Rite today and learned the same thing (overly sweet). Diet RC Cola is much less sweet, so you might try to find that in the soda aisle. Many store brands and Jones Soda are also sweetened with Splenda as well. An alternative would be to still use the Diet Rite, but use only half (8 oz) the original amount and increase the Frank’s Sauce amount as well.
i am a huge fan of your recipes, bowulf! i chose to try this recipe today. i could not find diet coke with splenda anywhere so i used diet rite instead. the artificial sweetener taste in the wings was overpowering. what would you suggest i use instead of diet coke with splenda? thanks!
So this meens i can have as many as i want during Induction. Now i usually make the second recipe cause its simpler, so is that recipe and eat till satisfied aswell
These are an “eat liberally” or until satiated thing.
How many of these can you have durring Induction?
You just can’t beat Wings like these. I found a excellent recipe for Garlic Parmesan wings, and all is excellent in the world.
i loooooooooooove wings.
Man those look tasty!!!
You can probably do a beer version of this too! Use a low carb beer instead of the diet coke..whaddaya reckon?
I typically use Corn Oil, but I prefer to use peanut oil. The cost is a bit prohibitive for peanut oil, but it performs the best. There are some oils I won’t use, like canola. These are mainly due to past history as industrial oils (rapeseed oil) and perhaps not best for human consumption.
Hey unless I missed it, what kind of oil did you use?
Let me preface everything by saying I reckon Induction until goal weight or using Hydroxycut (check out my supplement video on why I reckon that) are terrible thoughts, but we each make our own decisions. To your question, yes you should eat whenever you want, and artificial restrictions like no food after X time only cause hassle and pain.
My suggestion with your schedule is to eat when you are hungry with the understanding that under-eating or simply grazing (eating for something to do) are both terrible.
I really typed in a general question about the Atkins diet and it sent me to this video haha, but maybe you can help me anyways.
Question:
I’m on Atkins and I stay at induction phase until I reach the weight I won’t. The only thing I transition to is the salad after 2 weeks. Is it okay for me to eat ANYTIME i want as long as I stay within my carb limits in 24 hours? My schedule is horrendously messed up, I sleep whenever I can basically, and I take Hydroxycut to help.
Thanks.
You are very welcome. I am glad you like them!
thanks for this recipe keep making videos.
