Ingredients

2 lbs. chicken wings (organic; Butcher Box is the best!)
1/2 cup coconut aminos (organic)
3 tbsp honey (raw, organic)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp coconut sugar (organic)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp ginger (minced)
2 tsp garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt (I put the sea salt directly on my wings prior to putting them in with the rest of the marinade)
1/2 tsp pepper
Sesame seeds + sliced green onions for topping (You can also add a little extra drizzle of honey!)

Instructions

1
Make your marinade: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the wings, coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, coconut sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and spices until smooth.
2
Marinate the wings: Toss your wings in the marinade until fully coated. Cover and let them soak up all that flavor for at least 12 hours (overnight is more ideal). You can let them sit up to 3 days in the fridge.
3
Prep your pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray or brush with a little avocado oil to keep things from sticking.
4
Bake: Lay your wings out evenly on the pan. Drizzle a little of the extra marinade over the top—just enough to help with caramelization. Avoid pouring all the marinade on the pan or it’ll get too soggy. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
5
Crisp + caramelize: For that signature sticky-crisp finish, broil the wings for the last 5-8 minutes or so, watching closely to avoid burning.
6
Garnish + serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions while they’re still hot. I also like to add a little extra drizzle of honey. Serve immediately & enjoy!
