I’m a little embarrassed to say I ripped this recipe from the Tyler Florence’s Ultimate TV series. But I’m unashamed to say how good it is…

His recipe calls for baking the chicken before glazing it with the chile-lime butter sauce. Instead, I deep fry the chicken pieces in hot veggie oil. I also zest about 1 tablespoon of lime zest into the sauce mixture. (The smell is heavenly.)

Here’s the recipe: Crisp Chicken Wings with Chili-Lime Butter

Sides: I did sweet potato and yukon gold potato fries. Julienne the potatoes and fry them in hot oil (separate from the oil the chicken is cooked in). Then quickly blanch asparagus in shallow water. Plate and drizzle stems with olive or white truffle oil.

Got any other good wings recipes? Leave them in the comments section. I’d love to try them out.
