Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, ground black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, honey, soy sauce, and hot sauce if using. Mix until well combined to create the marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are crispy on all sides.
Once cooked through and golden brown, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the alitas de pollo hot with lime wedges or your choice of dipping sauce if desired.
