Can you skip the mint?This looks wonderful!
Francijoe- Omit the mint or replace it with parsley or basil.
Thank you, I dont like the mint here in Cali. its just so small!!!
That scallion-cilantro sauce looks so good. I’m so sad I don’t have any.
Wow, that looks so delicious and the flavors of mint and coriander will make it even more yummy.
I love the sound of that sauce! I’m pretty sure I could just eat that with a spoon and be pretty happy
What a beautiful recipe: simple to make (relatively), looks stunning and sounds delicious!!! Can you suggest a substitute for the cumin. I love it. V doesn’t…

I bet that these would absolutely rock on a grill too.
Greta marinade and they look perfectly cooked. I am with Chris imagine them being cooked on a grill.
this would be an awesome alternative to deepfried wings. I love the all the fresh herbs and citrus flavours
that sauce is amazing, erica!
These are a beauty, Erica! And healthier than the American counterparts. Keeping this for a Sunday afternoon.
I imagine that sauce would be PERFECT! Thanks for an awesome recipe.
I can’t believe these wings were baked. They look so fantastic (and I’m loving all that garlic in the recipe too).
Thank you everyone for the comments!
I’m making these tonight. They are marinating while I am at work. So excited to try them with this sauce!
