Chili Lime Wings

[BuckeyeSteve]

Here’s what I seasoned the wings with.

1 Tbs Chili Powder
1 Tbs Cayenne Pepper
1 Tsp Kosher Salt
1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
1 Tsp Onion Powder
1 Tsp Garlic Powder

I put them on the warming rack of the Weber grill at around 300 degrees for an hour, turning half way.
While that was cooking I made a sauce using
2 Tbs Honey
Zest from 1/2 Lime
Juice from 1/2 Lime
1 Tbs fresh chopped Cilantro

After wings were cooked I cranked up the heat to around 400 degrees and tossed the wings in a large bowl with the sauce. The wings were cooked a few minutes on each side. Because the sauce was pretty thin I repeated this three times. I topped it with more cilantro and served with lime wedges.

I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. The flavors were quite good. The only thing I will change is next time I’ll reduce the sauce by half to make it thicker.

Thanks for looking.

I’m not sure what you saw. Somehow it posted before I was done with the write up, so it probably was a good start.

I think your just about spot on to your seasoning. Maybe add some lime zest, your going to be using limes anyway....might as well use it all. I like to marinade . Try throwing your seasoning with the added lime zest on then put in a bag with a splash of oil and some lime juice. Let that set for a few hours and then go ahead and throw on the smoker.The other thing different i do is just toss them in the sauce after they are cooked. Just like you would a hot wing in buffalo sauce after frying.
Here is my sauce recipe....

3/4 cup green chalula sauce
1/2 cup butter
2Tbls lime juice
1/4 tsp BADIA chilli lime seasoning
Heat and blend together.

If you cant find a chilli lime seasoning like BADIA just use the seasoning you came up with with the added lime zest.

If you give this a try let me know. I wouldnt mind some feed back from it.

I thought about adding butter. I”ll try that the next batch.
I did toss the wings after cooking.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I also forgot .... I use the cilantro too...just as a garnish. I dont see anything wrong with using the honey also. I may give that a shot next time on mine.

I have been using some ghee in my wing sauces. Last batch consisted of Ghee, jalapeños, honey and garlic liquified together in a blender.
