Chili Lime Wings

I made these on a spontaneous whim during Super Bowl weekend and man were they delicious. I had to share them on the blog.

Let's get started.

Chili Lime Wings Printable Recipe
3 lbs. Chicken Wings
1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
2 Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tsp. Onion Powder
1 Tsp. Paprika
1 Tbsp. Chili Powder
Zest of 1 Lime
Vegetable Oil 

Chili Lime Sauce
4 Tbsp. Butter
2 Limes, juiced and zest of 1 lime
Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper 
1 Tsp. Chili Powder
1/2 Cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
1/4 Cup Cilantro, for garnish

In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, lime zest. Stir until well combined.

In a Dutch oven bring the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Dredge the wings one at a time making sure they are fully coated in the flour mixture. Shake to remove any excess flour.

Add about 7-8 wings into the oil at one time. Fry for 10-13 minutes. Or until fully cooked through. 

While the wings are frying make your sauce. In a pan, add the butter, lime zest and juice, chili powder, franks red hot sauce, a pinch of salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Making sure to keep stirring. Remove from heat after 6-7 minutes.

Once the wings are done frying toss them in the sauce let any excess sauce fall off. Put the wings on a serving platter, top with cilantro, and serve with slices of lime, blue cheese dressing, and any extra wing sauce for dipping.
