Orange Ginger Chicken Wings

Percussion is what makes the juices of life flow, and encourages movement! This week we have songs that reminds us of BBQ vibes and movement. These orange and ginger infused wings with a little Chobani coconut lime sauce take you to a feeling of sunshine with friends and so does the track, Ponty Mython’s “Lovin’ You Is a Pleasure”.

Our second track is from the great Bob Marley and The Wailers, “Get up Stand up.” Now is the time for continued movement and growth as humans. We at Beets for the Soul stand with the Black Lives Matter movement and will continue to learn, donate, get up and stand up for what is right.

Happy beet, satisfied soul.

Serving size 4

Ingredients
2 oranges

1 Tsp cinnamon

1 Tbs turmeric

1 Tbs mustard powder

2 cloves garlic

1 Serrano pepper

1 knuckle of ginger

1 Tbs soy sauce

1 Tbs rice wine vinegar

¼ cup honey

2.5 lb wingettes

1 Tbs coconut oil

Coconut Lime Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

1 5.3 oz Chobani coconut Greek yogurt

1 lime

5 Cilantro stems with the leaves

Pre heat your oven to 400. Place coconut oil in a glass dish and add in chicken wings and sprinkle with cinnamon, turmeric, dry mustard and salt. Use your hands or a spatula and toss the wings around in the mixture to evenly coat. Place the wings in the oven for 50 minutes, flipping over half way through.

While the chicken is in the oven place your Serrano pepper on a grill to bring out the flavor. Grill for a few minutes on each side and set on a plate to cool. In a mixing bowl squeeze the juice of one full orange and add the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Peel and chop the garlic cloves and ginger and add to the bowl along with the honey. Remove seeds and dice the Serrano pepper and add it to the mix. Add a dash of salt. Puree the mixture until smooth. Set sauce in the fridge.

Next you will want to prepare the coconut lime dipping sauce. Empty the contents of the coconut Greek yogurt into a small bowl and add the juice of one full lime. Fine chop the cilantro, stems included and add to the mix. Salt and pepper the sauce and taste. Place in the fridge.

Once the wings have finished cooking, allow them to sit for 10 minutes to cool. Place the wings into the orange ginger marinade and pre heat your grill. Allow the wings to sit in the sauce for at least 15 minutes prior to grilling. These are also great to refrigerate overnight in the sauce and grill the next day.

Grill the wings on medium heat for a few minutes on each side, drizzle in leftover marinade, squeeze fresh orange slices overtop and sprinkle with salt. If you do not have a grill, turn your oven broiler on high and broil for a few minutes each side to caramelize the sauce.

Dip your wings in the coconut lime dipping sauce. These pair well with an ice cold beer and the Beets for the Soul playlist!
