Ingredients

  • 12 chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 limes halved
  • generous pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 140°C (120°C fan) / Gas mark 1. Line a roasting tin with baking paper.
  • Arrange the 12 chicken wings in a single layer on the lined tin.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil evenly over the wings.
  • Using the same spoon, drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over the wings so it coats them.
  • Cut 2 limes in half, squeeze the juice over the wings, and tuck the squeezed lime halves between the pieces.
  • Season the wings with a generous pinch of salt.
  • Roast at 140°C (120°C fan) / Gas mark 1 for 25 minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (180°C fan) / Gas mark 6 and roast for a further 20 minutes, until the wings are crisp, charred at the edges and sticky.
  • Serve hot with extra lime wedges if desired.
