Honey Cilantro Lime Wings
Ingredients
For the Wings
- 3 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup lime juice about 4 limes
- ½ bunch cilantro chopped
For the Glaze
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tsp raw honey
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ⅓ bunch cilantro chopped
- 1 lime zest
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 limes juiced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps the skin get crispy instead of steaming.
- The Coating: In a large bowl, toss the dry wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange: Place the wings in a single layer on the rack, leaving space between each one. This allows hot air to circulate so they cook evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through. They are ready when the skin is deep golden brown and very crispy.
- Simmer the Sauce: During the last 10 minutes of baking, combine honey, lime juice, lime zest, melted butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm for 3 to 4 minutes until the honey melts, then remove from heat and stir in the cilantro.
- Toss and Serve: Place the hot, crispy wings in a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over them and toss well so every wing is coated. Serve right away while they are still hot.
