Clean swaps

How we upgrade the restaurant version with better ingredients.

  • Canola or Soybean oil (standard restaurant) → Avocado oil — Eliminates inflammatory industrial seed oils.
  • Refined sugar or High Fructose Corn Syrup → Raw honey — Provides natural sweetness without blood sugar spikes from refined sugars.
  • Deep frying → Roasting/Air-frying — Reduces excessive fat absorption and avoids commercial fryer impurities.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy during roasting.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  4. Arrange wings on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  5. While wings bake, whisk together cayenne pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and ginger powder in a small bowl.
  6. Remove wings from the oven and immediately toss them in the sauce mixture until thoroughly coated.
