Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce, if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place an oven-safe cooling rack on top for even crispy wings, if available.
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel, then season them with salt and black pepper. Lay the wings on the prepared rack or baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings bake, make the sugar-free teriyaki sauce. In a small bowl, mix the water and arrowroot powder until smooth and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the tamari, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, monk fruit sweetener, and sesame oil. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, stir in the water-arrowroot mixture. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
When the wings are done, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the coated wings with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free teriyaki chicken wings!
