Its football season and serving wings for game time is a must. These lime chicken wings are perfect for a football party. These are a great change up from buffalo wings or teriyaki wings. I would consider these wings to be some sort of a sweet and sour; with the sweetness coming from the honey and the sour from the lime. These wings are tangy, sweet and absolutely delicious. They will be gone in no time! I used a deep fryer to fry the wings but a large skillet with about 1” of oil will work as well. Best of all, they are too easy to make. You can even save time by getting pre-cut chicken wing pieces. The pre-cut wings might be a little more expensive but it can be worth it. If you are looking for a fantastic appetizer for game day, you can’t go wrong with these wings. Enjoy.

PrintLime Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients
- 18 whole chicken wings (cut into pieces)
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest (grated)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 quarts vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Heat a deep fryer to 360 degrees. In a large bowl combine lime juice, honey, lime zest, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Put flour in a plastic bag, add wings and shake until evenly coated.
- Add wings to the deep fryer and deep fry in batches until wings are fully cooked. Drain on paper towels.
- If you do not have a deep fry this is also very easy in a pan. Just heat about 1” of oil in a large skillet and fry wings until fully cooked.
- Toss wings with the honey/lime mixture until well coated and serve.

Lime makes everything taste so fresh. Will give this a try for my next gathering.
