SUBSTITUTIONS
Chicken wings can be easily swapped with thigh fillets or drumsticks. Prawns or cauliflower would also be a great alternative.
Replace the crispbread with almond meal or a 2:1 ratio of coconut flour/sesame flour mixture, if preferred. See the blog post above for more information in the FAQ’s.
Baking powder brand choice is pretty important (IMO). Some brands are very bitter. I use either Bobs Red Mill or Lotus Pantry double acting baking powder.
