Slow Roasted Herbed Chicken Wings

Most wings from restaurants are deep fried in GMO oils and are toxic to cells. . . No bueno. But wings can be healthy. Choose meat from pastured, organic chicken, coat in healing herbs and good fat, and slow roast until crisp. Serve with salad and/or veggies and you're good to go.

Slow Roasted Herbed Chicken Wings

2 lbs. organic, pastured chicken wings
1/4 cup avocado or olive oil
1 tsp. sage
1 tsp. rosemary
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. thyme
1 Tbsp. sea salt

1. In a mixing bowl, place chicken and cover in oil and massage in the seasonings.
2. Place seasoned wings on greased baking sheet and slow roast for 2 hours at 275° F.
3. Enjoy!
