Sticky, sweet, salty and spicy - the perfect chicken wing marinade combination. This chicken wing marinade puts buffalo sauce to shame with its irresistible flavor.
1/4cuptamarisubstitute soy sauce or coconut aminos
2tablespoonsmaple syrup
1tablespoonminced garlicabout 4 cloves
1tablespoonminced ginger
juice of 1/2 a lime
1tablespoonsriracha
Instructions
Place chicken wings in a large mixing bowl or gallon sized sealable bag.
Whisk together all the remaining marinade ingredients in a small bowl until throughly combined.
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.
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.
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.
Broil the wings during the last couple of minutes for extra crispy golden brown skin.
Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
*Soy sauce can be used if you don't need the recipe to be gluten-free. Coconut aminos are another gluten-free substitute for tamari.**Fresh garlic and ginger are best but prepared can be used in a pinch.
