Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tsp Lime zest
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp Chipotle in adobo sauce
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (for baking sheet)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Add the wings to the marinade, tossing them to ensure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

Step 4

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for even cooking.

Step 5

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over using tongs. Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the chipotle mayonnaise. In a small bowl, mix the chipotle in adobo sauce, mayonnaise, and honey until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.

Step 7

Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the garlic lime chicken wings warm with the chipotle mayonnaise on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra lime wedges if desired.
