Baked Spicy Honey Lime Chicken Wings tossed in a sweet and spicy sticky honey lime sauce!
Servings:6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2-3 tablespoons oil , (vegetable, canola, take your pick)
- salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup hot sauce , (I used Frank's original hot sauce)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- zest of 1 lime
- juice of 3 limes
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil. Place two wire racks (like wire cooling racks, the kind you use for cookies etc) on top of the foil.
- Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat. Place in a single layer on the wire racks (on top of baking sheet), sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 30-40 minutes, turning once half way through, til crispy and golden.
- While chicken wings are baking, prepare the sauce. Combine butter, hot sauce, cilantro, garlic, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, honey, and salt and pepper to a medium sauce pan. Stir over medium heat until butter is melted. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes.
- In a small bowl whisk together cold water and corn starch. Stir mixture into the sauce until thickened. Remove from heat.
- When chicken wings are done, toss in the sauce, then serve.
