Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons cilantro
• 4 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and honey. Whisk until fully blended to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy during baking.

Step 4

Add the chicken wings to the marinade, tossing to coat all the pieces evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a deeper flavor.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper airflow.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the wings are golden and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Optional: For extra crispy wings, broil on high heat for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the wings just before eating. Enjoy!
