Chili-Lime Wings

July 15, 2015 by zenbelly 7 Comments

WINGS! I get excited when I remember that they’re a dinner option. Too often I forget, unless I’m thinking of what to make for the Super Bowl or some other big sportsing day. These Chili-Lime Wings are one of my favorite ways to make them.

My take: Why should we only eat wings when there are really good commercials er I mean a football game on TV? That’s silly. They’re cheap and delicious, and there are practically endless ways to prepare them.

Take this preparation, for example; The wings get crispy in the oven thanks to a blend that includes salt and tapioca starch, and then tossed in a super flavorful sauce that gets mixed together in about 45 seconds. (All credit goes to Predominantly Paleo for the tapioca starch idea) All in all, you’re looking at about 45 minutes total time with only 5 of that being active. So you’ll have more than enough time to throw together a salad or slaw to serve them with.

    Do you think you could do same coating but different sauce for coating? As a buffalo?

      Definitely! The coating adds a great base flavor and you could add any sauce you want. πŸ™‚
