clean honey-soy chicken wings


i am not much of a meat eater, especially in the warm summer months and especially since i have moved to southern california. but, every once in a while some lean chicken or fish sounds nice when i need some heavier protein in my body.

obviously you want to search out the best quality chicken possible (or better yet, raise your own!). i believe in animals living a long, full life, roaming free and happy and fed organically because not only do the chemicals they eat get transferred to us, but also the energies/mood/feelings of that animal, good or bad, depending on how it was raised. i like this idea: meat in moderation, mostly in times of cold, famine, or using it to heal is best. listen to your body-it knows!

in this recipe i call them chicken "wings", which you definitely can buy-but i had a few organic chicken breasts already at home so i sliced them into a sort of boneless, skinless, chicken finger shape and baked them up that way. if you like the bone, go buy the wing!



to make:

1/2 c raw local honey or organic brown rice syrup
3/4 c coconut aminos or braggs liquid aminos
1/2 c water
2 cloves garlic
1/2" piece fresh ginger, peeled

-add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth.

-place 12 large organic free-range chicken wings in a bowl & cover with marinade. place in fridge for at least 2 hours to soak in flavors.

-preheat oven to 350F & line a baking tray with parchment paper. place wings onto tray & bake for 20 minutes. remove, flip, and baste with more juice. bake another 20 minutes until done. sprinkle with sesame seeds & serve! (kids love these)
