Honey coriander wings recipe from Ohana

I used to avoid eating wings because they are pretty messy and seemed like a lot of work. However, since moving to the area of Pennsylvania I’m currently in I’ve been introduced to a few really good barbecue places and breweries, and I am developing a fondness for tasty wings – especially if they have a unique or interesting sauce. So when I came across this honey coriander wings recipe from Ohana, I knew I had to try making it at home!

It was the first time I had made wings myself but it wasn’t too difficult. It had been awhile since I had the wings from Ohana so it was great to experience them at home! I also made the stir-fry noodles and veggies, which I will share in another post soon.

This is basically the official Disney Parks recipe, but I halved the recipe – since it was only for Jason and I and we were also having the noodles I didn’t need 4 pounds of chicken wings! Their official recipe also said to cook for 35 minutes, but I checked mine at 30 and they were already starting to get a little black so I took them out. With anything you cook it’s always good to keep an eye on it from time to time.

Here’s the Honey coriander wings recipe from Ohana:

Ingredients:

For the wings:

• 1/2 tablespoon coarse salt
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 pounds chicken wings or drumettes

For the honey wing sauce:

• 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions:

For the wings:

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine all ingredients except chicken in large bowl, stir to combine. Add chicken and toss to coat.
3. Lay chicken in single layer on prepared baking sheet and bake until browned and completely cooked through, about 30 minutes. Turn chicken halfway through cooking.

For the wing sauce:

1. Combine sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid thickens and reduces to a syrup – about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
2. Brush or toss baked chicken with wing sauce to coat. Serve with remaining wing sauce on the side.
