1 cup fresh lime juice (from 8 to 10 limes)
1 cup apricot preserves
1 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup sugar
4 large garlic cloves
Special Equipment
2 large roasting pans (about 16 by 12 inches)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut off wing tips, reserving for another use, and halve wings at joint. Divide wings between 2 large roasting pans, arranging in single layers.

  • Properly clean and trim the chicken wings: Remove any excess fat, skin, or feathers from the wings before cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is key to infusing the chicken wings with flavor. Use a combination of tangy, sweet, and savory ingredients, such as lime juice, apricot preserves, soy sauce, and garlic.
  • Let the chicken wings marinate for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken and results in more flavorful wings.
  • Cook the chicken wings over medium heat: This helps to evenly cook the wings without burning them.
  • Flip the chicken wings halfway through cooking: This ensures that both sides of the wings are evenly cooked and crispy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken wings are cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken wings should reach 165°F (74°C) before they are safe to eat.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

The lime apricot chicken wings recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The combination of tangy lime, sweet apricot, and savory soy sauce creates a flavorful marinade that infuses the chicken wings with amazing taste. The chicken wings are then baked until crispy and cooked through, resulting in a juicy and tender interior. Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
