Baked Ginger Sesame Wings
This easy Baked Ginger Sesame Wings recipe is an easy and delicious appetizer (or meal) that is perfect for Game Day!
Ingredients
Chicken Wings:
- 1 - 1½ pounds chicken wings
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
Sauce:
- ½ cup coconut aminos sub soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon ginger freshly grated or paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- pinch red pepper flakes
- pinch kosher salt
- ¾ tablespoon arrowroot powder
Toppings:
- fresh cilantro chopped
- lime wedges
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400℉. Put aluminum foil on a cookie sheet and place a wire rack on top.
- Bake Wings: Place 1 - 1½ pounds chicken wings on top of wire rack in a single layer and sprinkle with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, remove, and flip over, sprinkling the other side with salt and pepper. Return to the oven to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- Mix Sauce: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine ½ cup coconut aminos, ½ tablespoon ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, a pinch red pepper flakes, and a pinch kosher salt. Whisk together and place on the stove top over medium heat.
- Thicken Sauce: Add ¾ tablespoon arrowroot powder to the pan and whisk together; it will start to thicken as it starts to heat up. Continue to whisk and remove from the heat AS SOON AS IT STARTS TO THICKEN! If you over cook it, the arrowroot will turn the sauce gummy and become too thick.
- Toss in Sauce: When the wings are done, place them in a large bowl and pour the sauce on top; toss to coat all of the wings.
- Serve: Place wings on a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro; serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Servings: servings listed are if served as an appetizer. If serving as a meal, I would say 1 batch would serve 2-4 people.
- Dipping Sauce: option to keep it Paleo/Whole30 with a batch of Whole30 Ranch Dressing to dip these in!
- Chicken Drumsticks: You could definitely use this recipe for chicken drumsticks - same exact recipe, but cook them for about 40-45 minutes or until an internal meat thermometer reads 165°F. You could use about 12 medium-sized drumsticks.
