Garlic Lime Chicken Wings

With the Super Bowl just around the corner, I got to thinking about recipes that I could make for game day. Besides the commercials, the food is my favorite part of the Super Bowl anyway. Shocked? I doubt it. There are dips, chips, drinks, and all kinds of snacks, but a Super Bowl party is not a Super Bowl party without the grand daddy of all super bowl food: chicken wings. And for this year, I’ve got a little twist for you.

Once again Facebook has come through with another great idea. I asked people how they like to sauce their wings and got a plethora of responses. From Old Bay seasoning, to Parmesan ranch, to jerk seasoning, I now have so many wing recipes to try.  Last night I settled on a variation of a garlic/lime version that someone suggested. I decided to add honey for some sweetness and some chili powder and cayenne for that kick that everyone expects from chicken wings. You can bet that these will be at our super bowl party. What will be at yours?

    Hi maria, hope I caught you before you made these. The cooling rack is like what you would cool cookies on. A cooling rack is a metal rack that is elevated with spaces for air circulation. You could also do this without honey if you like. I like the sweetness but if your mom doesn’t then I don’t see why you couldn’t leave it out. I hope this helps!

    I am cooking ignorant. On step #3, what is a ‘cooling rack’? I was thinking, maybe ‘cooking’ rack, but not sure, would you please clarify. What does it look like? Also, if I leave out the honey (my Mother doesn’t like sweet meat), will these still be real good? Thanks!!

    I just realized something… there’s no garlic in the recipe. Should I add it?

      Thanks for that catch Iman! I just added it. 4 minced cloves should be in the marinade. Thanks again! :)

    This is great for Super Bowl. Just before game day I’m collecting all these great recipes, so, when the time is right I have no idea what to prepare. But this year I know that I’m going to try this recipe.
