Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Wings
  • 2 1/2 Pounds Chicken Wings approximately 24 pieces
  • 1/4 Cup Flour or Gluten-Free Flour
  • To taste Sea Salt
  • To taste Black Pepper
  • Olive Oil or Avocado Oil Spray
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Honey
  • 1/3 Cup Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • 4 Cloves Garlic mashed
  • 2 Tablespoons Ginger grated
  • 1 Tablespoon Tapioca Flour, Arrowroot Starch, or Corn Starch
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
For Garnishing
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds optional

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Small saucepan
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  2. Dry the chicken wings well using a paper towel. This helps make them crispy.
  3. Add the dried wings to a bowl with the flour, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss each wing until it is fully coated in the flour mixture.
  4. Transfer the coated wings to a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. You can layer foil first, then parchment paper. You might need multiple baking sheets depending on wing size.
  5. Spray the coated wings with oil. Bake them in the oven for 30 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. Add all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan or pot on the stove.
  7. Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring for 6-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.
  8. After the wings have baked for 20 minutes, turn the broiler on for 2 minutes to get a brown color. Watch the wings carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Remove the wings from the oven when they are done.
  10. Pour the sauce over the wings. Use tongs or your hands to coat the wings evenly in the sauce.
  11. Top with sesame seeds if you want them, then serve.

Notes

I made these wings for a family gathering and was unsure if they would fit my diet plan, but they were a success. Watching everyone enjoy the sticky bites showed me that comfort food and a healthy diet can work together.
