Cilantro Lime Wings
Cilantro Lime Wings are one of my favorite things to make on a lazy Saturday when we spend the day at home watching movies or sports. I make a huge bath of these wings which I serve with plenty of napkins to wipe sticky hands. The zingy sweet sauce is a classic combination of lime, honey and hot sauce with the freshness of chopped cilantro.
Start by making a marinade for the chicken wings by combining olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, and paprika. Mix with the chicken wings and chill in the refrigerator. After a few hours, bake the wings in the oven. While the wings bake, make a glaze by melting butter in a small saucepan. Mix honey, hot sauce, and lime juice. Turn off heat and stir in the cilantro before mixing with the chicken wings before serving.
To make Cilantro Lime Wings, you will need the following ingredients:

Recipe Reviews
My family is Hispanic so we LOVE everything with lime and lemon in it or on it. I made this for my familia with some brown rice and plantains, EVERYONE was begging me to cook this atleast once a week afterwards, loved it.
Lime made my tongue burn almost haha, less lime for me next time for sure.
Can't get over how good these are made them for my hubby and he fell in loveeee with these lime wings.
My abuela (Grandma for english speakers) was licking the bones after i made her these, LOL!
Absolutely delicious, can't wait to have this again next week going to make it with nachos and salsa.
The glaze is soooo good on these wings, oh my god it's precious.
Took a long time to make these and they were slightly undercooked so had to cook them longer, when they did finish they were good though i recommend baking them longer than just an hour.
Good with some beer on the side and salsa dip, thanks for the share.
Totally making these instead of the sunkist wings over and over again, i'm obsessed.
Saw this and thought that it looked kinda difficult to make but the cilantro wings with lime are actually easier than the Mongolian wings in my opinion.
Had it with mashed potatoes, great recipe thanks so much for sharing.
Very delicious, cooked this for my kids on the weekend with french fries :)
Wishing these wings would never end...they need to make a machine to duplicate food so i can keep eating them.
I didn't put hot sauce and added very little lime so i don't burn my tongue off, lol.
SUPER zesty recipe, these cilantro wings are legit the bomb try them and you wont regret.
Real crowd pleaser, these are delicious made em for my friends birthday as a side dish.
Hearting all of these wing recipes!! They are very tasty and this one + the sunkist are my two favs.
Well done! Verified!
