Instructions
Creating these Sweet Chili Lime Chicken Wings is a rewarding process. Follow these steps to achieve mouthwatering results:
1. Prep the Wings: Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. Place them in a large bowl.
2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
3. Marinate: Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
4. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
5. Arrange the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade and place them on the prepared wire rack. Discard the marinade.
6. Bake: Bake the wings for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Broil (Optional): For extra crispiness, turn on your oven’s broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
8. Garnish: Remove wings from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and chopped cilantro, if desired.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy these wings while they’re hot!
By following these steps, you will create Sweet Chili Lime Chicken Wings that are not only delicious but also visually appealing.
