Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 tablespoons date paste (Whole30 honey substitute)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the wings evenly.

Step 3

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and fully cooked, flipping them halfway through cooking.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and date paste.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Once the wings are finished baking, transfer them to a large bowl.

Step 8

Pour the honey garlic sauce over the baked wings and toss well to coat them evenly.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite Whole30-friendly side dishes or fresh vegetables.
