Legume Free Crispy Chicken Wings with Garlic-Herb Glaze

These wings deliver serious crunch without a single legume in sight — no soy sauce, no bean-based thickeners, nothing that would trip up someone navigating that restriction. Arrowroot starch is the secret weapon here, coating each piece in a thin, even layer that bakes up shatteringly crisp in a hot oven. The turmeric and ginger in the coating give the skin a gorgeous golden color and a warm, aromatic depth before the glaze even enters the picture. That glaze — built from coconut aminos, honey, apple cider vinegar, fresh garlic, and grated ginger — reduces into something sticky, savory, and just a little tangy, clinging to every ridge of the crispy skin. A handful of fresh thyme stirred in at the end keeps things bright and herbaceous rather than heavy. Finishing with parsley and a squeeze of lemon lifts the whole plate and cuts through the richness in the best possible way. These are the kind of wings that disappear fast, so consider doubling the batch.
