Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup date syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and lightly spray it with cooking oil.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine date syrup, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large clean bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the glazed wings back to the wire rack and bake in the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the glaze is sticky and glossy.
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve the Whole30 Honey Chicken Wings hot and enjoy!
