Ingredients

1 lb chicken wings halved at joints
1 handful cilantro chopped
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp white sesame seeds
1 tbsp sesame oil or avocado oil
½ tsp chili powder
1 tbsp fresh ginger chopped
pinch black pepper

Instructions

In a bowl combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, sesame oil, ½ tbsp of white sesame seeds and chopped ginger. Mix well.
Place the chicken wings in a bowl and mix with the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour.
While the chicken wings are marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and place on a wire rack.
Bake the chicken wings for 25 minutes until crispy and browned.
Serve the chicken wings with lime wedges, garnish with some white sesame seeds, and top with chopped cilantro.

Notes

If you don't have brown sugar or would prefer a healthier option, try stevia (much sweeter than brown sugar so you'll need less of it), erythritol or xylitol (both would use a 1:1 ratio), monk fruit sweetener, applesauce, or coconut sugar. Needless to say, these last ones will alter the taste of the wings somewhat.
