Ingredients

• 2 lbs. chicken wing drummettes and/or wingettes
• 2 Tbsp. chili garlic sauce
• 3 Tbsp. coconut sugar
• 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic crushed
• ½ tsp. ginger crushed
• 1 ½ Tbsp. lime juice
• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• ¼ cup soy sauce or Tamari gluten-free*
• Cilantro

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium-sized bowl whisk chili sauce, coconut sugar, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, lime juice, oils, and soy sauce until well combined.
3. Divide sauce in half and set one half aside.
4. Add chicken wingettes and drumettes to a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add half of the sauce and toss to coat.
5. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place wing portions in a single layer on the baking sheet skin-side-down. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Recipe Notes

*If Paleo, use coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce.

**If you would like to reheat wings, place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in 300-degree oven for 12-16 minutes, or until heated through.
