I admit.. I haven’t cooked a “real” meal since Ellie was born. Eeeeeeep! Does that make me a terrible wife/mom? The thought of having to clean up all of the dishes after cooking a meal while watching Ellie at the same time exhausts me. How am I supposed to do all of that? Moms really are superwomen.
I made these long before Ellie was born, but they were an instant favorite. I loved the hot sauce combo with lime. I hated cooking with chicken wings, though. Next time, I’ll opt for boneless chicken and use the same sauce.
Either way, they’re a great appetizer to serve for a party. A little messy, but that never hurt anyone. These wings are sweet and spicy, seriously perfect.
Aren’t they beautiful? Who would have thought that chicken and beautiful could be used in the same sentence?
Recipe from Food Network
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the pan
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joints, tips removed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup honey, plus more for drizzling
- ¼ cup Sriracha (or more, if you like things really spicy)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet or casserole dish with vegetable oil.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the melted butter, granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Dry the wings with a paper towel. Pour the mixture over the wings and toss well to coat. Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the wings until browned and crisp, 45 to 55 minutes.
- To make the sauce:
- Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce and lime juice and stir until the mixture bubbles gently. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Carefully remove the wings from the baking sheet and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and gently toss to coat. Transfer the wings to a serving platter back to your casserole dish and drizzle with more honey if desired. Garnish with lime wedges, sesame seeds and cilantro.
