Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Wings

Servings: 6–8 | Time: 30–40 minutes active; 4-8 hours inactive | Difficulty: Moderate

Ingredients:

• 4 lbs. (2 kg) chicken wings (about 24 wings)
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 cup (50 ml) honey
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbsp. (25 ml) soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp. (1.5 ml) tabasco sauce
• 3–4 drops lime essential oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Wash the chicken wings, and pat dry.
2. Combine the lime juice, honey, garlic, soy sauce, tabasco sauce, and lime essential oil. Transfer to a bowl or a large plastic bag, add the chicken wings, and toss to coat.
3. Marinate the chicken wings for 4–8 hours, tossing to coat occasionally.
4. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
5. Remove the wings from the marinade, and place on the grill. Baste the wings with the marinade, and sprinkle with salt.
6. Turn the wings every 5 minutes while cooking; about halfway through, baste the wings again with the remaining marinade.
7. Cook until browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should be 165°F (75°C); it should take approximately 25–30 minutes.

If you don’t wish to grill the wings, you can also bake them at 450°F (230°C) on an aluminum foil–lined baking sheet following the directions above.
