Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 3 whole jalapenos
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then season them with salt and black pepper. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
Step 3
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 15 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
Step 4
While the wings are baking, prepare the hot and sticky glaze. Finely chop the jalapenos, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped jalapenos and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the saucepan, stirring continuously. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens.
Step 8
Remove the glaze from heat and set aside.
Step 9
Once the wings are done baking, toss them in the hot and sticky glaze, ensuring each wing is well coated.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or garnished with extra slices of jalapeno for added heat. Enjoy!
