Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings (whole or separated into drumettes and flats)
• 1 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or another paleo-friendly oil)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced thinly (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with avocado oil.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with avocado oil.

Step 3

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Step 4

While the wings bake, prepare the paleo teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, honey, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic over medium heat. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the arrowroot powder with the water to create a slurry. Slowly add this mixture to the simmering sauce, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Once the chicken wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 7

Pour the teriyaki sauce over the wings and toss until all the wings are evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your sticky, flavorful Paleo Teriyaki Chicken Wings!
