Do you know the secret to the perfect wing? Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in the perfect sweet sauce with a smoking kick? I do, and I am telling you all about it here.

Ever want to know the secret to the perfect wing? Slightly crispy on the outside, but still tender and juicy on the inside, coated in a sweet sauce with a little kick? Well, I am here to tell you know… The trick is to steam them first, then bake them. Then toss them in this Sweet & Spicy Sauce.. These Sweet and Spicy Wings are all you need for your Friday night game night, football Sunday, or any weeknight that you’re craving something new!

 

Here’s what you’ll need…

1 lb chicken wings

1/2 cup honey

6 Tbs soy sauce (use gluten free, low sodium, or coconut aminos – your choice)

1 1/2 tsp stevia

6 Tbs apple cider vinegar

4 cloves garlic, minced

6 dried japones chiles, blanched

1/2 tsp tapioca starch

 

Directions:

  1. Steam chicken for about 30 minutes – This allows for the excess fat to drip out, so they become crispy when baked
  2. Preheat oven to 425
  3. In the meantime, blend garlic and chiles in food processor
  4. Once minced, process remaining ingredients, except your tapioca starch
  5. Set aside
  6. Bake wings on parchment paper for about 45 more minutes, flipping half-way through
  7. With about 5 minutes left, bring sauce mixture to a bowl in a small sauce pan
  8. Slowly whisk in starch and continue to whisk until completely dissolved and no clumps remain
  9. Once wings and sauce are finished, toss your wings in your sauce in a large mixing bowl
