These crispy Buffalo Wild Wings copycat garlic butter wings are my fiance’s favorite. They are the perfect date night alternative to take out. With these crispy wings only requiring 5 minutes of hands on time, they are also perfect for all of your weeknight cooking needs! These garlic butter wings are naturally Whole30, paleo, keto and AIP friendly. 
What Do I Need To Make Garlic Butter Chicken Wings?
- 1 pound chicken wings-I like the frozen one from Trader Joe’s. I keep at least 3 or 4 bags in my freezer all of the time. They are perfect for meals that do not require a lot of hands on time.
- Sea salt, pepper & olive oil cooking spray-This is what keeps the wings nice and crispy while cooking.
For the garlic butter sauce:
- Garlic-This is what makes these wings! Do not jip the garlic. I love to use a lot of garlic.
- Ghee-This is what makes the sauce nice and smooth. Ghee is a great alternative for butter in paleo cooking.
- Lemon-The lemon compliments the garlic and ghee oh so nicely with this dish.
To Garnish:
- We love to garnish with fresh chives, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Be sure to omit the red pepper if you are doing the autoimmune protocol.
My Secret Tip For Cooking These Crispy Garlic Butter Wings:
- The number one secret is waiting until AFTER you cook the wings to add the sauce. If you add the sauce beforehand, the wings will get soggy. The wings won’t be able to get real crispy.

For the sauce:
- Place the ghee and garlic in a saucepan on medium heat until it is fully melted.We prefer to dip the wings in the buttery garlic sauce. Garnish on top with green onions, chives, and red pepper if desired.
