Bright, citrusy, and loaded with fresh herb flavor, these oven-baked wings are the kind of crowd-pleaser that disappears fast. The marinade layers fresh lime juice, lime zest, coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, and a touch of turmeric for a deeply savory, slightly tangy coating that soaks into the chicken over anywhere from one to eight hours. Baking them on a wire rack at high heat means the skin gets genuinely crisp without any frying required. A clever trick here is reserving a portion of the marinade before the raw chicken ever touches it, then whisking it into a bright herb drizzle with olive oil, more cilantro, garlic, and lime to finish the wings right before serving. That finishing sauce is what takes these from good to seriously memorable. For anyone navigating seafood allergies, wings can be a surprisingly tricky order at restaurants where shared fryers and shellfish-based sauces are common — cooking them at home with this clean, straightforward ingredient list removes all of that guesswork. Serve with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro sprigs for a platter that looks as good as it tastes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp lime juice, coconut aminos, melted coconut oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, grated ginger, turmeric, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and lime zest until combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this marinade in a small bowl and set aside — this reserved portion will be used as a finishing glaze. Add the chicken wings to the remaining marinade and toss to coat thoroughly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
