Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 0.5 cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for sauce)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper (for sauce)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings crisp up while cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
Spread the wings out on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the wings are baking, prepare the Whole30 barbecue sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut aminos, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground cumin, smoked paprika (for sauce), and additional ground black pepper (for sauce). Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the wings from the oven and brush them with the prepared barbecue sauce. Be sure to coat each wing generously.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is caramelized.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the wings warm, sprinkled with additional chopped fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your Whole30-approved barbecue delight!
