Servings 6 @ 3 wings each
Calories 322kcal
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings or 18 chicken wings
- 1 large red bell pepper or 5.8 ounces/164 grams
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
- 1 small yellow onion or 2.5 ounces/70grams
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ½ cup tomato puree or 4.4ounces/125grams
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika smoky or regular
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup Lakanto brown sugar sub or Swerve brown sugar sub
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F / 200C / 180C fan.
- Slice the pepper in half, remove the seeds and stalk and place on a greaseproof lined baking tray. Rub in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes,
turning half way to ensure even cooking. - Heat a non stick frying pan or cast iron skillet and sear the chicken wings for 2 - 3 minutes per side. (You may need to add a little oil to the pan if using a cast iron skillet so
the wings don’t stick.) - Place the seared chicken wings onto a greaseproof lined baking tray and cook for about 30 minutes in the oven until almost crisp.
- When the pepper is cooked, and still hot, place in a zip lock bag and leave for 5 minutes. This will make the skin easy to peel off. Remove the skin and discard. Chop the pepper into cubes.
- Place 1 tablespoon of butter, ghee or coconut oil in a pan and sauté the onion on a medium/ low heat for 3 - 4 minutes until soft.
- Add the garlic for 30 seconds then add the pepper, tomato puree, apple cider vinegar, paprika, chilli, coconut aminos, dijon mustard, sweetener, seasoning and water. Simmer on low heat for 5 - 10 minutes until thick. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Allow to cool so not hot and use an immersion hand blender to blitz until smooth. Alternatively you can try using a smoothie blender though you may need to make a larger batch.
- Rub the sauce over the chicken wings and place back in the oven for about 15 minutes until sticky.
- Best served fresh or in the fridge for 2 days. Can also be frozen and
reheated.
