Notes on ingredients & substitutions
Chicken
Chicken wings are really cheap to buy, I got mine at Waitrose and they are organic too. You could also use the thigh or leg if you want a more substantial meal.
NB: For those with a soy allergy, animals fed soy won't be suitable. In that case, always look for meat that is grass-fed or grass-finished, as most animals are fed soy, which is also genetically modified. If you are in the UK, take a look at the ethical butcher; they do not use soy to feed their cattle.
Soy sauce
Use Tamari Iif you cannot consume gluten and coconut aminos if you cannot consume soy.
Tamari can be bought at most supermarkets or online here.
Coconut aminos online. Take a look here.
Honey
Always opt for organic, local raw honey where possible, especially if you are following a paleo diet. It is usually found in your local health food stores.
Sesame oil
Buy toasted sesame oil as it has such a depth of flavour. Found in most supermarkets.
I buy many of my ingredients from Well Easy, a discounted online health food shop. Most products are cheaper than anywhere else, and they have over 50 filters, so shopping for allergy-friendly ingredients got a lot easier. If your health conscious, you will just love the brands and products that well easy offer. You can also get £10 off your first order if you enter my discount code KAM10 at the checkout.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the marinaded wings into the tray including all the marinade.
Roast the wings on the middle shelf for 30 minutes, check on the wings often and turn them so that the wings don’t burn.
