Tag: Chicken wing sauce

A single, plain, un-breaded chicken wing contains virtually zero carbohydrates, making them inherently low-carb. However, the real question is: do chicken wings have high carbs once they're breaded, fried, and slathered in sauce?

Plain, unbreaded chicken wings contain virtually zero carbohydrates, but the total carb count can increase dramatically with breading and certain sauces. Therefore, the carb count for 12 wings is not a single number but depends entirely on how they are prepared and what they are served with, ranging from nearly zero to over 40 grams.
