PALEO HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN WINGS
Having a party and don't know what paleo foods to prepare? Have no fear, for I am here to help. I present to you, delicious oven baked, paleo-friendly, honey mustard chicken wings.
Everyone has a secret to making the perfect wings. I like my wings a little crispy and that is hard to get when you bake them....unless of course you use this super secret technique. Well I guess it's not really a secret now since I am telling you. I have tried many ways to cook wings, but my favorite way is to steam the wings and then allow them to cool prior to baking them in the oven. This helps keep the inside moist and the outside crispy - thus creating the perfect wing.
You can use this same method and add any sauce you like, but this recipe is for a simple honey and mustard sauce that is loved by both kids and adults. You don't even need to have a party to make these...they are great for dinner...lunch....second lunch.....any time of the day really.
