Baked Chicken Wings Recipe with Chili Lime Glaze
Description
The Baked Chicken Wings Recipe with Chili Lime Glaze uses simple ingredients including honey, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and lime zest to marinate trimmed wings. Coating the wings thoroughly and spreading them on a parchment-lined baking sheet ensures they cook evenly without sticking or steaming.
Baking at 450°F with flips and rotations across three intervals crisps the skin while caramelizing the glaze. The final test is crispy, browned wings with a sticky, flavorful exterior highlighted by the tang of lime zest and the sweetness of honey balanced by the chili powder's warmth.
This recipe serves well as a shared appetizer or main dish. Leftover wings can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container, making it convenient to prepare in advance or enjoy as part of a casual meal.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings trimmed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3 lime zested
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and pour the honey, oil, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and lime zest over the chicken. Toss and massage until each piece until completely coated.
- Then lay the chicken out on the baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the pieces don’t touch.
- Bake the chicken wings for 15 minutes. Flip the chicken and bake another 15 minutes. Rotate the chicken one last time and bake another 5-10 minutes until crispy and dark. (The rotating helps the chicken not to burn on one side.) Serve warm!
Notes
- Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator; best consumed within 3-4 days.
