Ingredients

For the Wings

  • Avocado oil spray or extra-virgin olive oil spray
  • 20 pasture-raised chicken wings and/or drumsticks
  • 1/3 cup paleo baking flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

For the Sauce

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled and minced
  • 1 tsp peeled and grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Red chili flakes to taste, optional
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch

Instructions

Make the Wings

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and set a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with the oil and set aside.
  • Using paper towels, pat the chicken wings completely dry. In a large bowl, whisk together the paleo flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken wings and drumsticks, toss well to coat.
  • Using tongs, transfer the chicken wings one at a time to the rack, spacing evenly. Spray the wings with more oil spray, and bake for 25 minutes. Turn the wings and return them to the oven for another 25-30 minutes, until crisp and cooked through.

Make the Sauce

  • While the wings are in the oven, make the sauce: In a small skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant. Add the coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, salt, pepper, and chili flakes, if using, and cook, stirring constantly, for another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
  • Place the arrowroot starch in a small bowl, add a spoonful of the sauce, and stir until the starch is completely dissolved. Add the starch mixture back to the sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce is shiny and thickened.
  • Transfer the hot wings to a large mixing bowl and add the sauce. Toss well to coat, and serve immediately.
