Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken wings separated
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 cloves garlic fresh
  • 1 tablespoons ginger
  • 1 teaspoon anise seed
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos (or tamari)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar (coconut or apple cider)
  • 1 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions

  • Place chicken wings in a large bowl (if overly wet, pat dry with paper towel).
  • Heat coconut oil over medium-high heat in a small saucepan.  Add ginger, garlic, anise and fennel seed and cook, stirring so that it doesn’t burn, until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add coconut aminos, honey, vinegar, and fish sauce.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and add sesame oil.
  • Pour over chicken wings, and stir to coat. Once chicken wings have cooled enough to handle, cover and place in refrigerator to marinate overnight (up to 24 hours). Stir the wings once or twice during marinating to make sure they are evenly treated. (I really like to marinate my wings in a large re-sealable bag, because I can remove the air and lay all the wings flat so they are more evenly coated with marinade. Instead of stirring, I just flip the bag over!)
  • Drain excess marinade off wings. Barbecue wings until cooked, turning once (something like 20 minutes total depending on how hot your grill is).  Alternatively, you could place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165F).
