Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 large lime
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top for crispier wings.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the wings, and sprinkle with taco seasoning, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other for even cooking.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the lime-cilantro sour cream dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, juice from half the lime, finely chopped cilantro, and hot sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 7

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the lime over the wings for a tangy finish.

Step 8

Garnish the wings with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately with the lime-cilantro sour cream dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
