Baked Chicken Wings Seasoned with Lime Juice, Cilantro, and More!
With Super Bowl coming I imagine that you could use a few chicken wing recipes. So far I’ve shared plenty including; hot wings, lemon pepper wings, and even honey chipotle wings. In this post, I’m going to show you how to make Baked Cilantro Lime Chicken Wings!
For these wings, I used a 3 lb bag of party wings ( which as the section drumette and lil drumsticks things 😀 ) . Depending on how greedy your crowd is, this should easily feed 6 people…
Before I go any further, YES- you can use this recipe on other chicken pieces. I get that question asked a lot whenever I make chicken wings. The only thing that should change is the cooking time. However, since this is a chicken wing post, I will only be talking about the “wangs” 😛
This is how I cooked the Wangs ( yes… I said WANGS 😉 )

So happy I stumbled across your Instagram and Pinterest sites and can’t wait to start making these recipes. I do have a question regarding this recipe. It’s not directly mentioned, but I was wondering — do you marinate the “wangs” first or do they go directly into the oven? Thanks for your amazing videos and recipes!
Hi Liz! You can put them right into the oven.
Hey Rosie!
I’m using whole wings, legs, and thighs; do I still need to bake them on a rack?
Yes 🙂
