Easiest ever Honey Lime Garlic Wings!
Chicken wings are handy. I like to have a container full of cooked wings like these chipotle honey-mustard wings or these cranberry-glazed chili wings in the freezer ready to pull out for an appetizer, a quick meal or a picnic.

We often take these Honey Lime Garlic Wings when we go out on our boat. With a salad or some fresh raw veggies and fruit, they make a complete picnic meal that everyone loves.
What is the best way to cook low-fat chicken wings?
I like chicken wings, but I don't like all the fat.
I've discovered the secret to crispy wings is to toss them in a bit of oil and then cook them on high heat in the oven before adding a glaze. The fat renders out, leaving juicy meat and crispy skin.
You'll notice in the photo that these wings look a little skinny. Much of the fat was left behind when I cooked them and all that remains is intensely flavourful chicken wings.
