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
- 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.
- Toss the chicken wings in the marinade then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Remove the chicken wings 30 minutes before cooking.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and heat through.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
