What type of chicken should you use for Carnivore diet recipes?

When preparing Carnivore diet recipes, always choose high-quality organic meat to reap maximum nutrition. For this recipe, we are using pasture-raised chicken wings from a trusted source. You can also use skin-on, bone-in chicken drumsticks, as long as they are organic and pasture-raised.

How long should you cook this Carnivore chicken recipe for?

Wings are the smallest part of a chicken and thus require the least cooking time. When roasting chicken wings, the goal isn’t to only cook the meat but also to render fat from the skin and get it golden and crispy; no one likes rubbery chicken wings. This is why we are baking these wings on high heat for 30 minutes.

How can you customize this Carnivore chicken recipe?

Usually, Carnivore diet recipes allow some dairy, but we kept this recipe clean and suitable for a strict carnivore diet. If you can tolerate dairy, add some grated cheese like parmesan, cheddar, or Monterey Jack, creating a delicious crust when baked. You can also add your desired spices and herbs. For serving, dip these chicken wings in sour cream. If you decide to use dairy in this recipe, ensure it is A2 and low-lactose/lactose-free.

What is a serving size?

The serving size depends on your appetite and calorie requirements. Chicken wings are high in fat, thus more satiating than leaner chicken cuts. We are preparing this recipe for dinner, thus serving 10 wings per person. If preparing this meal for lunch or as a snack, 5 wings could be enough. Either way, we suggest preparing a large batch, serving some right away, and meal prepping the rest.

Parsley is used as a garnish and can be omitted if following a strict carnivore diet.
