Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Add the lime juice, cilantro, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt and pepper to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Pour it over the chicken and toss to combine. Allow it the chicken to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
  3. Add the chicken wings onto a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and a baking rack, that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 40 minutes while you mix up the glaze.
  4. Add all of the glaze ingredients to a small microwave safe bowl and heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  5. Remove the wings from the oven and increase the temperature to 425°F. Brush the glaze over each chicken wing, then bake for another 10 minutes or until they are starting to caramelize and reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F on a meat thermometer.
  6. Serve immediately with a garnish of chopped cilantro and slices of lime.
