If you ever make it to Disney World, you must visit my son's favorite restaurant at least once. It's call the Ohana Restaurant, and it's located at the Polynesian Resort, just a monorail ride away from the Magic Kingdom. The theme of the restaurant is Polynesian (of course), but they're known for their "meat-on-a-stick," as my son calls it. Steak, turkey, pork, and sausages are grilled over an open pit grill in the center of the restaurant, then long skewers of each are brought round and round, until you cry "Uncle."

They start you out, though, with various appetizers, followed by side dishes of potatoes and grilled veggies. My favorite of the appetizers is something most people call "sticky wings." It's official title though is . . .

Honey Coriander Chicken Wings

Serves: 6 to 8

For the wing seasoning:
1 T. kosher salt
1 T. ground paprika
1 T. sugar
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 t. turmeric
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. garlic powder
1/8 t. cayenne pepper

5 lb. chicken wings and drumettes
2 to 4 T. vegetable oil

For the coriander wing sauce:
1/2 c. honey
1/4 c. low-sodium soy sauce
1 T. cornstarch
1/2 T. chili powder
1/2 T. fresh lime juice
1/2 T. ground coriander
1/4 t. ground ginger

Cover a cookie sheet in foil and set aside. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

Make wing seasoning by placing all ingredients (through cayenne pepper) in a small bowl and using a whisk to incorporate.

Put the chicken and 2 T. (or more) of wing seasoning in a large bowl. Add enough oil to coat the chicken evenly and mix well with your hands. Spread the seasoned chicken in a single layer on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.

Meanwhile, place all wing sauce ingredients in a large sauté pan and bring them to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until thickened. Using tongs, transfer the cooked wings into the sauce.

Note: I always double the recipe, make it ahead, and reheat or keep it warm in my Nesco. A crockpot would work just as well. I've carried this to cookouts in the summer and to Super Bowl parties in the winter, and it's always a hit. Enjoy!
