Description

Delicious sticky soy lime chicken wings that are perfect for your next gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 pounds whole chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped roasted salted peanuts
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Handful cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, garlic, and honey until completely combined.
  2. Toss the chicken wings in the marinade then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  3. Remove the chicken wings 30 minutes before cooking.
  4. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and heat through.
  5. Working in batches, add the wings, cooking until the wings caramelize on both sides and are cooked through, turning frequently so they don’t burn, about 10 minutes total.
  6. After all the wings are cooked through, add any remaining marinade to the pan until it reduces into a sticky glaze on the wings, about an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Remove to a large platter and top with peanuts, green onions, and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the wings overnight.
  • Serve with extra lime wedges for squeezing over the wings.
