These wings start with the best — US Wellness Meats pasture-raised chicken wings — and let clean, bold ingredients take it from there. Fresh orange zest, lemon juice, and fragrant thyme create a bright marinade that infuses every bite with natural, layered citrus flavor. A touch of Lakanto Monkfruit with Allulose Sweetener rounds out the tang beautifully, caramelizing on the grill into a light golden gloss with just enough sweetness — no sugar spike required. Off the grill, the skin is crispy, herb-flecked, and perfectly charred. Pair them with our Sweet Orange Alabama White Sauce — made with the same Lakanto sweetener and a hint of orange zest — and you have a seamless flavor pairing that's tangy, creamy, and absolutely crave-worthy.

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Wings: Mix marinade: Whisk together fresh orange juice, orange zest, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, fresh thyme leaves, Dijon mustard, and monk fruit with allulose sweetener until combined. Season coarse black pepper and kosher flake salt.

Marinate wings: Add chicken wings to a shallow dish. Pour marinade over wings, toss to coat, seal and refrigerate at least 2 hours (up to 24 hours).
Prep for grill: Remove wings from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard used marinade.
Grill: Grill wings over medium-high heat for 20–25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until cooked through and nicely charred.
Rest and serve: Rest wings for 5 minutes, then serve with Sweet Orange Alabama White Sauce on the side.

Sweet Alabama Orange BBQ Sauce:

Combine wet ingredients: Whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, until smooth. Add monk fruit with allulose sweetener and whisk well to fully dissolve it into the sauce.
Season: Stir in prepared horseradish (optional), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, coarse black pepper, kosher salt.
Adjust and chill: Taste and adjust — more zest for citrus punch, more monk fruit for sweetness, or a splash more vinegar for tang. Refrigerate for at least 60 minutes before serving.
