Instructions

SESAME LIME VINAIGRETTE

  • Combine shallot and lime juice in a large jar or medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Then add sesame oil, vegetable oil, gluten free soy sauce, and honey/maple syrup to shallot mixture and cover and shake (or whisk) to combine. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Do Ahead: Vinaigrette can be made a couple of days ahead. Cover and chill. Shake to reincorporate just before serving.

CHICKEN AND ASSEMBLY

  • Season chicken wings with salt and black pepper, place in a large resealable plastic bag, and add 1 cup vinaigrette. Seal bag and turn to coat; chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Grill chicken, turning once, until wings are evenly charred and cooked through, approx 8–10 minutes if separated into flats and drumettes and 12–15 minutes if left whole. Typically, marinated wings cook more quickly than the usual grilled wings. If you're not sure if your wings are fully cooked through, err on the side of caution and leave them on the grill for 1-2 minutes longer. To avoid over-charring, you may need to lower the heat. Transfer wings to a plate or large bowl.
  • Place mixed field greens on a platter and then arrange wings on top of the lettuce, scatter chiles and sesame seeds over and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.
