The Ultimate Chicken Wings with Curry-Lime Butter
Recipe from Tyler's Ultimate

Ingredients:

• 4 lbs whole chicken wings


• extra-virgin olive oil


• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened


• 2 tsp thai red curry paste


• zest and juice of one lime


• 1 tbsp honey


• splash of soy sauce


• cilantro leaves for garnish

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.


2. Rinse the wings under cool water and pat dry. Put the wings in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, season well with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread the wings out on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until the skin gets crisp and brown and the meat is tender.


3. While you wait, throw the butter, curry paste, lime zest and juice, honey and soy sauce into a blender or food processor. Season with salt and blend to mix. Scrape the curry-lime butter into a big bowl. When the wings come out of the oven, slide them right into the bowl with the butter. Give them a toss to coat them evenly and you're done. Scatter the cilantro leaves on top and serve.

And its that easy to have deliciously flavoured chicken wings not from a box or a restaurant! These wings have such a unique and delicious flavour, I promise you won't be disappointed. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did! I can't wait to make it again.
