These chicken wings are great to throw on the barbecue. I make them the day before to allow the flavours to fully marinate into the chicken, but if you're short of time, a shorter marinate will work too. I always make up a big batch too, meaning left-overs for lunch the next day!
These zesty Lemon Ginger Chicken Wings are not only delicious but also easy to prepare, making them a great addition to any barbecue. The combination of lemon, ginger, and fresh mint creates a refreshing and flavorful marinade that will have everyone coming back for more.
Recipe: Lemon Ginger Chicken Wings
Ingredients
- 3 kg chicken wings approx 24-30
- grated rind of 1 lemon
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: First, in a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with the grated lemon rind, lemon juice, honey, coconut aminos, grated fresh ginger, and chopped fresh mint.
- Marinate the Wings: Next, cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken wings overnight to allow the flavours to fully marinate. If you're short on time, a few hours will work too, but the longer the marination, the tastier the wings will be. Stir the wings every few hours to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade.
- Preheat the Barbecue: When ready to cook, preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
- Cook the Wings: Then, barbecue the wings until they are tender and cooked through. Make sure to check that no pink bits remain. During barbecuing, baste the wings with the remaining marinade from the bowl to enhance the flavour.
- Serve and Enjoy: Finally, serve the Lemon Ginger Chicken Wings hot off the grill with a fresh side salad. They are perfect for a summer BBQ or any gathering with friends and family.
Serve with a side salad – and how about making some home-made burgers too – no bread necessary! The combination of zesty lemon, spicy ginger, and fresh mint creates a marinade that is both refreshing and delicious.
These wings are perfect for a barbecue, but they can also be cooked in the oven if you prefer. They are versatile and can be paired with a variety of sides, such as a fresh salad or some homemade Paleo burgers. Plus, making a big batch means you'll have leftovers for lunch the next day.
