Gluten Free Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wings
I have been obsessed with chicken wings as of late. They are the perfect, tasty, high-protein appetizer and snack. I have taken to making a bunch and keeping them in the fridge for when I need to grab something quickly. And I have taken to making them all sorts of ways.
These gluten free sweet & spicy chicken wings are one of my new favorites. They are so easy and you can make them on the grill or under the broiler. They are sweet, they are spicy, they are sticky, and they are supremely satisfying.
The marinade is made with just 4 ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Make sure you keep these wings gluten free by using gluten free tamari or soy sauce in the marinade. The sauce is made with just Wholesome! organic honey and sriracha sauce – couldn’t be easier. I like to use whole chicken wings in this recipe but you can just use drumettes if you like, just reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.
