Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat dry 2 lbs chicken wings and season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.
  2. Step 2: Toss the wings with 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large bowl to coat and arrange on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping halfway, until skin is crisp and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: While wings bake, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice to make the glaze.
  4. Step 4: Remove wings from oven and immediately toss them in the warm glaze until fully coated. Return to oven for 5 minutes to set the glaze.
  5. Step 5: Garnish wings with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.
