Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 wedges lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Begin by washing and patting dry the chicken wings with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, salt, and chili powder. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and place them on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, remove the wings from the oven, brush them with honey on one side, flip them over, and brush the other side with honey. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the alitas de pollo hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the wings.
