Baked Spicy Java Wings

About This Recipe

These paleo baked wings combine the perfect balance of sweet & spicy with a little kick from cold brew coffee. Made from good for you ingredients, they are paleo, gluten free, & dairy free.

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds chicken wings
• 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoon cold brew coffee - I used Kohana
• 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• salt and pepper, to taste
• optional garnish: sliced green onion, celery sticks, carrot sticks

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top of it. Pat dry the chicken wings, place on wire rack, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven on the top rack and bake for 50 minutes, or until crispy.
2. While the wings are baking, make the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add coconut oil and let melt. Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining ingredients. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat, and let simmer making sure to stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn. Once the sauce has reduced and thickened (should coat the back of a spoon), remove from heat.
3. Once wings are done, add to a large bowl. Cover with sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve with carrots and celery.
4. Enjoy!
