Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 3 medium Jalapeño peppers
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves (packed)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a blender or food processor, combine the jalapeño peppers, garlic cloves, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade into a large mixing bowl and add the chicken wings. Toss the wings to coat them evenly with the marinade.
Arrange the wings on the wire rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Reserve any leftover marinade for basting.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven and brush with the reserved marinade.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until they are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
While the wings are cooking, prepare the cilantro dip. In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro leaves, sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, and chopped chives. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the jalapeño wings hot with the cool cilantro dip on the side. Enjoy!
