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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 8

Serve the Whole30 Honey Chicken Wings hot and enjoy!
