Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 2 Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp Lime zest
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for crispier wings.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps with crispiness.
Add baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the wings. Toss well to evenly coat.
Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack, making sure they are spaced apart.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings bake, prepare the chipotle lime sauce. Finely chop the chipotle peppers and combine them in a small saucepan with lime juice, lime zest, honey, and olive oil. Heat over low-medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the chipotle lime sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your smoky, tangy Chipotle Lime Wings!
