Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (gluten free)
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. This helps remove excess moisture and promotes better browning.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, gluten-free soy sauce, ground coriander, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients until thoroughly blended.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until each wing is completely coated with the honey-coriander marinade. Let the wings marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to absorb flavors.
- Arrange the marinated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. This allows even cooking and crispy edges.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check the internal temperature of the wings with a meat thermometer. They should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender meat.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or green onions for added freshness and presentation.
- Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free honey coriander wings with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- Always pat your chicken wings completely dry before marinating. This is the key to achieving that coveted crispy skin that everyone loves.
- For maximum flavor, let the wings marinate for at least 10-15 minutes, but if you have time, marinating for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator can intensify the taste.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your wings are cooked perfectly - 165°F (74°C) is the safe internal temperature for chicken.
- For extra crispiness, you can briefly broil the wings for 2-3 minutes after baking to get those gorgeous caramelized edges.
- If you're sensitive to gluten, double-check that your soy sauce is certified gluten-free, as some brands may contain wheat.
- Experiment with garnishes like fresh cilantro, green onions, or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds to add extra texture and visual appeal.
- These wings pair wonderfully with a cool ranch or blue cheese dip to balance the sweet and spicy flavors.
