Orange Soy Chicken Wings

These wings make a great appetizer, they have that sweet and salty thing going on that most people love. They are similar to teriyaki wings with a bit more of a citrus flavour. Since all the carbs are in the marinade and you end up throwing most of it away these yummy little wings are super low carb and extremely tasty! I made them with my sister (non low-carber) and she gave them the thumbs up.

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar free Orange marmalade (I used Smuckers)
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp liquid sweetener (i used Sugar Twin)
  • 1/3 cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp water
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except chicken wings in a heavy duty plastic bag or large bowl with a lid and mix well. Place chicken wings in mixture and let marinate overnight (or at least for 4 hours, but overnight will taste better) Shake the bag or bowl every so often so all the wings get fully marinated.
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. You can put the wings directly on the foil (this is what i did but they end up sticking a bit) but i recommend baking them on top of a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. place chicken wings on top of wire rack and bake for 1 hour. Throw away excess marinade.

 
Total carbs for the whole batch of marinade is 15g, but since you end up throwing most of it away i would say that there is about 5 grams of carbs in this whole recipe.
