For Honey Lime Sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- In a large mixing bowl, pat dry the chicken wings using paper towels.
- In another bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Add the dry spice mixture to the chicken wings and toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- Arrange Wings on Baking Sheet:
- Place the seasoned chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
- Bake the Wings:
- Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 -45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Prepare the Honey Lime Sauce:
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the honey, and lime juice. Stir the mixture until well combined. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat.
- Coat Wings with Sauce:
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven. Using tongs, transfer the wings to a clean mixing bowl.
- Pour the prepared honey lime sauce over the wings and toss until they are thoroughly coated.
- Finish Baking:
- Place the sauced wings back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes. This allows the sauce to caramelize slightly onto the wings.
- Serve:
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the delicious honey lime chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
