Bring this magical flavor combo to your next party…or any night’s dinner
There are some flavors that just go together like they’re made for each other. Like chocolate and peppermint, which totally makes holiday desserts like these brownie bites. Or honey and garlic, which make a delicious sauce for everything from meatballs to shrimp lo mein.
Cilantro and lime is one of those magical mixtures. It’s the flavor combo that makes Chipotle’s Cilantro Lime Rice into a work of art. There’s something about the pairing of the tart lime and the unique, herbal, almost musky taste of the cilantro that’s much more than the sum of its parts.
Here’s a new, easy way to put this zesty flavor combination on your table: Cilantro Lime Chicken Wings.
How to make baked chicken wings!
These are amazingly easy to make. You just toss your chicken wings into a bowl with the cilantro and lime juice, plus a few spices for good measure – salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, and just a touch of cumin – and a little olive oil to help it all blend together. Mix it all up, load the wings into a baking pan, and bake them until they’re crisp. That’s it!
These wings are great as a party appetizer, or a fun change of pace for a weekday supper. Either way, they’re sure to be a pleasant surprise.
