Chicken wings are marinated in a ginger, garlic, lime, cilantro, and tamari mixture, then grilled for a smoky flavor. If you do not have a grill, you can bake these delicious chicken wings in the oven. Plan to marinate at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.

Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds chicken wings (about 15 wings)
- 2-1/2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2-1/2 packed Tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice

- 4 medium cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2-1/4 teaspoons sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 small dry red chile pepper, crumbled, or to taste
Preparation:
Cut each chicken wing at joints to make 3 pieces; discard tips. Combine vegetable oil, cilantro, lime juice, tamari, ginger, garlic, sugar, cumin, and chile pepper to make marinade. Place wings in a nonreactive dish large enough to hold them in 1 layer. Add marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
