Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • tbsp avocado oil
  • tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 each dates softened in hot water
  • 1 each garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1-2 tbsp chili oil depending on how spicy you like it
  • tsp togarashi
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 3 tbsp cilantro roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients from coconut aminos through ginger and use an immersion blender, or place in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
  • Add half of the sesame ginger dressing in a large bowl or container. Next add ½ tbsp of chili oil. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the chicken wings to marinate and add 1 tsp togarashi and mix until the chicken wings are thoroughly coated. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. (The longer they sit the better!)
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and take the chicken wings out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Make sure to drain off any excess marinade. Season the chicken wings with salt and place them on a rack placed in a baking sheet.
  • Bake the chicken wings in the oven for 10 minutes. Take the wings out of the oven and flip them and turn the oven up to 450°F and place them back in the oven.
  • Cook for another 15 minutes or until cooked through.
  • While the wings are cooking combine 3 tbsp of sesame ginger dressing and ½ tbsp of chili oil (or more if you want it spicier) in a large bowl.
  • Once wings are cooked, place them directly in the large bowl and toss to coat them in the sauce. Serve them immediately and garnish with chopped cilantro and extra togarashi.
