Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds chicken wings with end of wing removed if you prefer (save to add to stock!)
  • 1/2 butternut squash peel removed and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup tamari sauce wheat-free
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • 1 onion roughly chopped
  • 1- inch knob of ginger peeled and roughly chopped
  • juice of one lime
  • zest of one lime
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce optional
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare your baking trays by setting a wire cooling rack over each (so the wings may cook on all sides).
  2. Place about 12 wings per tray, skin-side down. Bake in oven for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients in a medium pot, let come to a boil, cover and cook until the squash is soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place contents in a food processor, chopping until a smooth paste has formed. Move paste to a large bowl.
  4. Take chicken wings out of the oven and toss in the squash mixture, then gently place back on their wire trays, skin side up for another 15 minutes, a total of 30 minutes cooking time.
