with cauliflower fried rice

Active: 25 Total: 50

Fried chicken wings / drumettes are a football season favorite, but whether you're watching a game or not, they make for a fun meal. We bake our version in the oven for a lighter twist and serve them in a spicy (or not) and savory sauce.
Smarts: The secrets to crisp baked wings / drumettes are 1) tossing them in arrowroot powder (to reduce moisture) and 2) baking them with some space between them to allow air to circulate. Check out this video to see how it's done!

Make

  1. Heat oven to 450F / 232C.

  2. Line a sheet pan with foil. Place an oven-safe cooling rack on top.

  3. Top cooling rack with chicken wings and drumettes, leaving some space in between them so that air can circulate (that will help them to get crispy). Roast chicken until cooked through and crisp and golden on the outside, turning halfway through cooking, ~35 minutes.

  4. While chicken is roasting, make sauce. In a small saucepan combine first portion of water, aminos, honey and chili garlic sauce. Place saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer.

  5. Whisk together second portion of water and arrowroot powder (portion for the sauce). Add to sauce and continue simmering until sauce thickens. Set aside.

  6. When chicken is almost finished roasting, heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and then frozen vegetables to heated oil. Saute until vegetables are defrosted and any water has cooked off. Add half the spicy aminos sauce (reserve the other half) and cauliflower rice. Continue cooking until “rice” is heated through.

  7. When chicken is finished, toss it with the remaining half the spicy aminos sauce and sesame seeds.

  8. Serve chicken with fried cauliflower rice and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
