Ingredients

  • 12 chicken wings, tips removed

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Steps

  • 1
    Cut each chicken wing in half; place in large resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add marinade ingredients; seal bag. Turn bag to coat wings. Refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
  • 2
    Heat oven to 375°F. Drain chicken wings, reserving marinade. Place chicken on broiler pan.
  • 3
    Bake 45 to 60 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (180°F), brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Serve warm.

  • For more lime flavor, add the grated peel from 1 lime to the marinade.
  • Serve the hot wings on a tray lined with lettuce. Arrange strips of bell pepper and stalks of green onions with the wings.
  • Purchase already cut chicken wings in the meat or frozen foods section. They're sometimes called chicken drummies or wingettes and drummettes. You can use just drummettes if you prefer.
