All-American chicken wings meet Asian umami—and all-natural, unprocessed sweeteners—to create this addictive sweet-and tangy hors d’oeuvre.
Ingredients
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange chicken wings on greased baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, then turn wings over. Bake another 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make sauce: In a large saucepan, bring lemon juice and zest, tamari, syrup, miso, and molasses to a simmer, cooking until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes (it can quickly burn, so keep whisking). Turn off heat.
- Add the wings to the saucepan, and toss (using tongs) until coated. Transfer to a platter, and serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.
