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.
