Thai Chili Lime Chicken Wings

This Thai chili lime chicken wings dish is another healthier alternative to deep fried wings. As with some of my other favorite healthier wings dishes such as baked honey garlic chicken wings and honey lemon chicken wings, these are baked and not fried. These wings are a little different than the other two because the addition of Thai chilies in the marinade adds a nice kick to it. The combination of the spices with the lime and the Thai chilies creates such a wonderful and complex flavor. In addition, the recipe is so simple and easy to follow.

First, the marinade is prepared in the blender by processing the chilies, lime, spices and oil together. After allowing the chicken to marinate for at least one hour, the chicken wings are simply baked in the oven for a total of 30 minutes. I love making baked chicken wings because they so good and the clean up is always a breeze. Enjoy!
