Ingredients
- Chicken Wings: 2 pounds
- Fresh Lime Juice: 1/2 cup
- Lime Zest: 2 tablespoons
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Chili Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt and Pepper: To taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the lime mixture. Ensure all wings are well-covered.
- Step 4: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the wings aren't overcrowded for even cooking.
- Step 5: Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftover Lime Wings in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, bake the wings at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and crispy, or use an air fryer for best results.
- Serve these tangy wings with a creamy avocado dip or a side of cilantro-lime rice to complement the flavors.
- For extra flavor, let the wings marinate in the lime mixture for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, before baking.
