What to Serve with Chicken Wings FAQs
Chicken wings are typically spicy and intensely flavored, so it's great to pair them with other flavorful foods as well as one or two milder ones. I personally love pairing them with one spiced side like elote or corn ribs, and one milder side like mashed potatoes or salad. If you're serving wings as a finger food for a cookout or game day, I suggest pairing them with other finger foods like fries, corn ribs, and stuffed mushrooms!
There are so many great keto sides for chicken wings! I prefer pairing chicken wings with stuffed mushrooms, cauliflower rice salad, and asparagus fries when I'm cooking for keto friends and family. These flavorful sides are delicious and filling without having too many added carbs.

What to Eat with Chicken Wings - Corn Ribs
Equipment
- grill or grill pan
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 6 Corn Cobs
- 6 Tablespoons Butter melted
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 teaspoons Minced Garlic
- 2 teaspoon Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat gas or charcoal grill, or grill pan on the stove, to medium-high heat. Carefully quarter corn cobs lengthwise and place in a flat dish.
- Melt together the butter and oil, then cover the corn ribs completely with the mixture.
- Sprinkle with paprika and salt and pepper to taste, covering each rib evenly, followed by minced garlic. Flip the corn and shuffle in the dish until evenly coated on all sides.
- Add corn ribs to the grill or pan and cook until charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip, continuing to cook until charred on the opposite side. Continue to brush corn ribs with garlic butter as they cook for maximum flavor.
- Once the corn ribs are nicely charred and curled into rib shapes, remove from the heat, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- 16 ribs feeds about 4-5 people.
- Try serving these corn ribs with an alternative seasoning like Mexican street corn seasoning!
- You can make corn ribs in the oven by baking them for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, but keep in mind all ovens are different. The corn ribs will curl like ribs into an arch shape when they are ready. Broil them on high for 1-2 minutes for a char.
