This recipe came from paleoleap.com, but I adjusted it slightly by reducing the sauce. You can use this sauce on grilled or baked boneless skinless chicken breasts too if you want to reduce the calories per serving.
Makes 48 wings
Ingredients
2.0 kg chicken wings
2/3 cup Frank's Red Hot
3 tbsp pure maple syrup (or honey)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
Black pepper, to taste
Zest of 2 limes
Juice of 2 limes
Canola oil spray, for greasing
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil and grease with canola oil. Arrange chicken wings evenly on the baking sheets. Bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, until browned (flip chicken wings over at the 20 minute mark).
While chicken is in the oven, combine Frank's Red Hot, maple syrup, butter, garlic and black pepper in a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir frequently, bringing the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue stirring for 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add the lime zest and squeeze in the lime juice and stir.
Remove chicken wings from oven, then place them into a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat before serving.
