Description

Crispy, charred chicken wings coated in a sweet and spicy honey-lime chili glaze, served with a side of fresh, creamy guacamole. This dish balances the heat of chili powder with the brightness of lime and the richness of avocado. Perfect for game day gatherings, casual weeknight dinners, or a lively party appetizer. The wings are tender inside with a sticky, flavorful crust, while the guacamole provides a cool, refreshing contrast. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this recipe delivers bold Mexican-inspired flavors that are sure to please the whole family.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine honey, lime juice, chili powder, and soy sauce.
  2. Add chicken wings to the bag, seal it, and mix thoroughly to coat all wings in the marinade.
  3. Chill the wings in the refrigerator, turning the bag occasionally, for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  4. Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  5. Lift wings out of the marinade and place them in a single layer on the wire rack.
  6. Broil the wings for 10 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. While wings cook, prepare guacamole by mashing avocado and mixing with lime juice, salt, and desired toppings.
  8. Serve hot wings immediately with fresh guacamole on the side.

Note

For the guacamole, use ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure. Mash to your desired consistency and season with salt, cilantro, diced onion, and jalape&# 195;±o to taste.

If wings are not marinating for a full day, ensure they are well-coated. You can brush on extra marinade during broiling for a stickier glaze, but watch closely to prevent burning.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF to maintain crispiness.

For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
