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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for crispier wings.
Step 2
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps with crispiness.
Step 3
Add baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the wings. Toss well to evenly coat.
Step 4
Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack, making sure they are spaced apart.
Step 5
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your smoky, tangy Chipotle Lime Wings!
