    Special equipment needed
  
    A baking sheet or broiler pan, preferable nonstick

  
    Ingredients
  
    1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  
teaspoon ground ginger or 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
  
teaspoon garlic powder or 1 garlic clove, minced
  
tablespoons maple syrup
  
tablespoon lime juice
  
pounds chicken wings

  
    Instructions
  
    • Combine the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, maple syrup, and lime juice in a large bowl.  Mix thoroughly.
  
    • Add to the chicken wings. If you have time, marinate the chicken 1 - 4 hours.
  
    • Spray the pan with a nonstick spray.
  
    • Remove the wings from the marinade. Put the wings on the pan, reserving the marinade. Broil for 7 minutes. Turn and broil for another 7 minutes, until done.
  
    • Cook the marinade in a small saucepan, adding a little water to prevent it from burning. Since the marinade was in contact with raw chicken, cook the sauce for 5 – 10 minutes.

  
    Variations
  
    • Use lemon juice or vinegar for the lime juice.
  
    • Use honey, brown sugar, or agave nectar for maple syrup.
  
    • Use drumsticks, thighs, or breasts instead of wings. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.

  
    Storage
  
    • Store any uneaten chicken covered in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 days.
