Game Day Wings

If you're like me, Saturdays in the Fall are for three things, Football, beer and wings! If you're new to Paleo you may have thought wings are totally out but really there are lots of recipes out there to keep your game day tradition alive. In fact with the right ingredients you can make your wings better than the ones you find at your favorite sports bar. Here are two recipes that are sure to please everyone. One is your traditional Buffalo Wings, the other is Honey Garlic Wings.

Buffalo Wings
Serves 2

Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken wings (Organic, pastured chicken is best)
4 1/2 Tbsp. Franks Hot Sauce- I use Franks because it does not have and crazy chemicals or preservatives. Its just chilies and spices.
4 Tbsp. Butter (melted)- (Organic, pastured)

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheet with coconut oil, bacon fat, or (I use) palm oil. Place wings on sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

The yellow is the red palm oil, its great for greasing pans without adding any flavor like coconut oil

Cook wings 30 mins.
While the wings are cooking, combine hot sauce and melted butter in a medium size bowl. For spicier wings add more hot sauce for milder wings use less hot sauce. This combo is a medium heat.

Once wings have cooked, toss in sauce and put back on baking sheet and bake for another 30 mins.
Serve and enjoy!

I made a bleu cheese vinaigrette that really wasn't that great. I ended up just eating the wings with out the sauce which was great!  I will update this recipe when I find a great sauce to serve! So stay tuned.


Honey Garlic Wings
Serves 2

Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken wings (Organic, pastured chicken is best)
1/8 cup honey (Local, raw)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. coconut aminos- you can find this at a health food store like Whole Foods by the soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ground ginger

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a zip lock bag and marinate chicken for 4 hours up to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease baking sheet and spread wings out.

Bake for 30 mins, flip and bake another 30 mins.
Garnish with green onion if you want and Enjoy!

Both these recipes are so easy its ridiculous so I encourage you to try them and let me know what you think!

UPDATE!!
As some of you know I am currently enrolled in the Institute of Integrative Nutrition with the goal of becoming a Health Coach. I am about 4 months in and doing great! Unfortunately it has taken up a lot of my blogging time which is why I haven't been posting any recipes lately. I will try to stay consistent and post about once a month for now and then will ramp up again once I am done with school.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement!!
