What it is
Crispy chicken wings, seasoned and fried without any breading. A satisfying and flavorful option that highlights the natural richness of the chicken skin.

How to make it keto
Crucially, request 'sin empanizar' (without breading). Confirm the frying oil is keto-friendly (not vegetable oil high in polyunsaturates). Avoid any sugary sauces or glazes. Request plain wings or with a simple mojo (garlic-lime) dressing on the side.
Watch out for
Traditional flour-based breading, sugary marinades or dipping sauces (e.g., BBQ sauce), unhealthy frying oils.
