These crispy chicken wings are the perfect game day snack! The sticky honey lime glaze takes them to the next level.

Jump straight to the recipe for honey lime crispy chicken wings.

We do eat pretty healthily around here, but some foods are just better left a bit… Less healthy 😉

I especially count party food into that department. There’s been these Sticky BBQ Slow Cooker Meatballs, these Sticky Sweet Chili Chicken Wings and the amazing Chicken Skewers with Satay Style Peanut Sauce.

But there could definitely never be a fun game day without crispy chicken wings at our house!

So today I wanted to share one of our favorite crispy chicken wing recipes with you!

These are fried to perfection, then coated with an unbelievably easy honey and lime glaze. For everyday meals I usually bake our chicken, like in this Crispy Oven Fried Chicken and these Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets for example! But as an appetizer? Frying is allowed!

I say unbelievable, because it’s so simple yet so good.

All three of us always end up with sticky glaze all over our hands, but that’s the way it’s supposed to be! Right? By the way, it’s also VERY delicious with my homemade teriyaki sauce as a glaze instead. Yum!

This recipe has become an absolute stand-by for us, and I’m hoping it will became one of your family’s favorites as well!

Servings: 9

Prep: 10 mins

Cook: 25 mins

Total: 35 mins

Ingredients

For the glaze

• 1/3 cup honey 130g
• 2 small limes juice and zest
• 1-2 cloves garlic minced
• salt & pepper to taste

For the wings

• oil for frying
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour 60g
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili powder
• 3 pounds chicken wings 1.3kg

Instructions

• Whisk all glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a second bowl, combine the flour, salt and paprika (or chili powder) until mixed well. Heat one inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You'll know it's hot enough if you dip a wooden spoon into the hot oil and bubbles appear.
• Dip the chicken wings in the flour mixture and fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 8 minutes total. I had to do this in three batches.
• Once the chicken is fully cooked on the inside and golden and crispy on the outside, remove from the skillet and drain on some paper towels.
• Toss the hot chicken pieces in the glaze and serve immediately.
