Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs Wings drumettes
3 tbsp Sweetener your preferred sweetener
6 tbsp Water
2 Clove Garlic
2 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Lime Zest
1 tsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
Preheat to bake 500F.
In a small stove top pot, add sweetener and water, bring to a soft boil on medium-low heat. Should take around 1-2 minutes. Once boiling, remove from heat and set aside. This is our simple syrup.
Combine grated garlic, lime zesty, cayenne pepper, salt, olive oil, lemon juice and simple syrup in a mixing bowl.
Add chicken into mixing bowl and toss well.
Line oven tray with aluminum foil and spray/coat with cooking oil or use a silicone baking mat. Line chicken on a tray and make sure they aren't touching one another.
Place the tray in the CENTER of the oven and bake chicken for 10-15 minutes or until browned skin side down. Note – if the chicken is browning too quickly, lower the tray to rack below.
Once browned, flip chicken and bake for additional 10 minutes or until browned. If you want a crispy skin, move the rack 6-8″ away from heating element and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
