Gluten Free Nut Free Thai Chicken Wings Recipe

Chicken wings are such a great addition to casual parties and picnics – seems people just can’t get enough of them. In my opinion, the wing is the most flavorful part of the chicken – all that meat so close to the bone makes it juicy and packed with flavor.

I love coming up with new ways to make chicken wings. This recipe is Thai inspired – based on Thai peanut sauce, but totally peanut free. Of course it is a gluten free recipe but it also happens to be dairy free, refined sugar free and Paleo. Oh, and the taste? To die for!

I like a combination of whole wings and fat drumettes when I make chicken wings but you can use what you like. Just realize that if you use wings that have been cut in two, you will probably need to reduce the cooking time. First, you give the wings a little toss with some garlic and ginger scented oil, then into the oven and finally they are cooked with a coating of the luscious Thai sauce that comes together in minutes. This is an easy recipe, perfect for casual entertaining and a real crowd pleaser!

For gluten free, nut free Thai Sauce I used Sunbutter – if you are on a Paleo Diet, use the Organic Unsweetened variety. And feel free to play around with the ingredients in the sauce – like it spicier? Add more chili garlic sauce. Like it sweeter, just add some more honey. Crave a bit more salt? More fish sauce. You get the idea.

Buffalo is not the only place where great wings come from!
