Super Bowl was this past weekend and game night is synonymous with lots of food. This year we hosted the party for our neighborhood friends at our home. Folks signed up to bring different kinds of appetizers and dips. We had a good balance of junk food with healthful foods – grilled vegetables and salads made for a less greasy overall meal! And I decided to make Chicken wings. Since I am on a Paleo diet these had to be strictly paleo with only natural ingredients with no artificial anything!
So I decided to bake the chicken wings asian style! I added kashmiri chilli powder for the heat and used honey for the sweetness. Sesame oil and coconut aminos provided the distinct asian flavors and ginger, garlic provided additional flavors that made these chicken wings unforgettable!
My son called these ‘wickedly insane’ ! I think that translates to ‘fantastic’ in high schooler lingo 🙂 These babies are double baked to give them the extra crispiness and the extra sauce on top makes these simply ‘to die for’!
I am not a big sports fan. Game night is exciting to me only for the company of friends and for the food! However last weekend’s game was pretty exciting …at least the last quarter. And I personally thought it had a good message for everyone in all walks of life. And the message is ‘ Do not give up, ever. Keep positive till the very end and you can indeed turn things around magically if you believe enough in yourself!’
- Chicken wings around 2 lbs or about 16-20 pieces
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder or ½ tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup gluten free Tamari or gluten free soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 4 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp red chilli flakes
- 2 tsp corn starch(non gmo) or arrowroot starch mixed in ¼ cup water
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
- Pat dry the chicken wings using paper towels to remove any excess water.
- Mix all ingredients listed under marinade together in a bowl.
- Marinate the chicken wings in the marinade for about 15 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 425 deg F (210 deg C)
- Line a large tray with Al foil and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Place the chicken wings on the tray spread separate from each other.
- Bake at 450 deg F for between 20-25 minutes (or until the chicken pieces look crisp on the top). Flip the wings using a pair of tongs and bake for 10 more minutes or until the wings are cooked well on both sides. Remove from the oven and cover with Al foil.
- While the wings are baking, you can make the sauce. In a small cooking pot, add all sauce ingredients and whisk using a whisk or a spatula. Cook for about 5 minutes until you get a thick sauce. Turn heat off. Keep sauce aside.
- Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm teriyaki sauce over them and toss the wings to coat them fully in the sauce. Serve immediately.
