Ingredients

Scale Recipe:
  • Wings
  • 2 lbs jumbo chicken wings

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • Marinade
  • 2/3 cup olive oil

  • 2/3 cup coconut aminos

  • 2 tbsp Stevia brown sugar substitute

  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp pepper

  • Carolina Mustard Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mustard

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1/4 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)

  • 1 tbsp Stevia brown sugar substitute

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 3/4 tbsp ketchup

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

1

Mix marinade ingredients and place wings into a gallon zip log bag.  Pour the marinade over the wings making sure they are well coated.  Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 4 hours, flipping midway through.

2

Preheat the grill to 375°F.

3

Remove wings from the marinade and dry off.  Place wings in a clean gallon ziplock bag and add the cornstarch.  Mix to combine make sure the wings are well coated.

4

Place wings on the preheated grill. To insure flats do not over cook, place them on the top rack with the wingettes on the lower rack.

5

Flip the wings every 15 minutes.  The wings should take approximately 40 to 45 minutes.  Cook until internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.  For best results, cook them until they reach 180-190°F.

6

Remove from heat, tent with foil to let rest.

7

While the wings are resting, combine the mustard sauce ingredients into a saucepan and heat over a low heat, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat.

8

When the wings are rested, add to sauce and toss to coat. Optionally, dip sauce over wings.

9

Enjoy with your favorite sides and condiments.

Recipe Notes

  • According to USDA recommendations, wings are safe to eat once they reach 165°F, but for best results cook them until their internal temperature reaches 180 - 190°F.
  • Substitutions for Stevia brown sugar substitute and coconut aminos can be made in a 1:1 ratio with light brown sugar and low sodium soy sauce, if desired.
