Servings: 4

Ingredients

Lime juice (1/4 cup, freshly squeezed)
Honey (1/4 cup)
Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
Paprika (1 teaspoon)
Cayenne pepper (1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste))
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
Chicken wings (2 pounds)
Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish))
Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, tossing them until they are fully coated. For best results, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator) to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
