Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Kahlua liqueur
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to elevate the wings for even cooking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to ensure crispy skin, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the wings are baking, prepare the Kahlua glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine Kahlua liqueur, soy sauce, honey, Sriracha sauce, and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
After 30 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the Kahlua glaze.
Return the glazed wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Once done, remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a crisp salad. Enjoy!
