Sticky, sweet, salty and spicy - the perfect chicken wing marinade combination. This chicken wing marinade puts buffalo sauce to shame with its irresistible flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup tamari (substitute soy sauce or coconut aminos)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • juice of 1/2 a lime
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha

Directions

  1. 1

    Place chicken wings in a large mixing bowl or gallon sized sealable bag.

  2. 2

    Whisk together all the remaining marinade ingredients in a small bowl until throughly combined.

  3. 3

    Pour the marinade over the chicken in the bowl or bag. Toss to coat each wing. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.

  4. 4

    When ready to bake, transfer the chicken to a wire rack on top of a large heavy duty baking sheet arranging so that the wings are spread out evenly and not touching each other.

  5. 5

    Bake at 400°F for 40-50 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Flip the wings half way through cooking and brush any leftover marinade on top of them a few times throughout the baking process.

  6. 6

    Broil the wings during the last couple of minutes for extra crispy golden brown skin.

  7. 7

    Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
