Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, unsweetened apple sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the Whole30 BBQ sauce.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the avocado oil until they are evenly coated.
Place the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the wings from the oven and brush generously with the BBQ sauce. Turn the wings over and brush the other side with sauce as well.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
For extra caramelization, you can broil the wings on high for an additional 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven, let cool a bit, and serve hot with any remaining Whole30 BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
