Yield: 24 pieces, each with 1 gram of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and 5 grams of protein.

INGREDIENTS

• 12 chicken wings or 24 drumettes
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Splenda
• 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, if you want them hotter)
• 1 clove garlic, crushed

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Put the soy sauce, Splenda, peanut butter, sherry, oil, vinegar, spice powder, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a blender or food processor, and blend well.
3. If you have whole chicken wings and want to cut them into drumsticks, do it now.
4. Arrange the wings in a large baking pan, and pour the blended sauce over them, then turn them over to coat on all sides.
5. Let them sit for at least half an hour (an hour is even better).
6. Bake the wings for an hour, turning every 20 minutes during baking.
7. When the wings are done, put them on a serving platter and scrape the sauce from the pan back into the blender or food processor. Blend again for just a moment to make it smooth, and serve with the wings.
