    Teriyaki-Style Chicken Wings Recipe

    Paleo teriyaki sauce? You may be wondering if it can really be done, and in short, it can. How does one go about recreating a soy-based sauce so that all the ingredients are Paleo-approved?

    The answer to enjoying all of your Japanese-inspired dishes is to toss the soy sauce out of the cupboard and switch to coconut aminos instead.

    Teriyaki-Style Chicken Wings

    Paleo folks often need to take the time to revitalize the dishes of old, the ones with ingredients we no longer eat.

    Some Asian foods rely heavily on soy sauce (made from fermented soybeans, roasted grains, salty brine, and Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus sojae molds) to give a deeper color to noodle dishes, to add a hint of sweetness or as a simple dipping sauce, yet it is off-limits with a Paleo palate.

    But the flavor is certainly tempting, and most of us would do anything for baked chicken wings. Once a bottle of coconut aminos arrives in your life, you will sample it, you will love it, and you will wonder how you ever lived without it. Coconut aminos are made from the aged sap of coconut blossoms. Yum. That is all.

    Make this gluten-free teriyaki sauce with pineapple juice and spices, and soon you will be adding it to your pineapple chicken wraps, seafood, or beef dishes. If you want to adventure even further, you can even make teriyaki burgers and grill away!

    Teriyaki-Style Chicken Wings Recipe

    Serves: 4 Prep: 15 min Cook: 40 min

    Ingredients

    • 2 lb. chicken wings, raw
    • ½ cup coconut aminos
    • ¼ cup fresh pineapple juice
    • 2 tbsp. raw honey
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
    • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tbsp. hot pepper sauce (optional)
