Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Wings
  • 2.5 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 or pot
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  2. Dry the chicken wings well using a paper towel. This step 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 to keep the baking sheets clean. You might need more than one baking sheet depending on the size of your wings.
  5. Spray the coated wings with oil and bake them in the oven for 30 minutes. Flip the wings and bake them 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 the sauce from the heat and set it aside until the wings finish cooking.
  8. After the 20 minutes of the second bake time are complete, turn the broiler on for 2 minutes to give the wings a brown color. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove the wings from the oven when they are done.
  10. Pour the sauce over the wings and use tongs or your hands to coat them completely in the sauce.
  11. Top with sesame seeds if you want them, then serve.

Notes

This recipe works well for meal prepping. Store the sauced wings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to four days. If you need a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour and coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
