This is a pretty simple recipe. The idea was to lighten up regular buffalo wings with a bit of citrus and chopped cilantro. I think the effect was pretty good. The sauce was just a bit hot with a nice sweetness from the honey. The lime juice sharpened all the flavors and the cilantro made everything taste fresh. These would be great on Super Bowl Sunday. Here’s the recipe:
Honey Lime Cilantro Buffalo Wings
3 lb chicken wings
3/4 cup Frank’s hot sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
juice of 1 lime
2 T butter, melted
Cook wings, either by baking or deep frying. Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a small bowl. When the chicken is cooked, toss in sauce and then place under the broiler until the sauce becomes glaze-like. Serve.
These look great.
