Ingredients

Spicy Chicken Wings
- 24 chicken wing drumettes, lollipopped (meat pushed up toward the larger end of the bone)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/4 cup harissa paste
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cilantro Lime Yogurt Dipping Sauce
- 1½ cups Greek yogurt
- 1 lime, zest and juice
- 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
Garnish
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
- 1/2 cup scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced

Preparation

For the spicy chicken wings:

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small saucepan, whisk together the honey, 1/2 cup olive oil, harissa, and lime zest and juice. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat and set aside.

Toss the chicken wings with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the chicken wings standing up on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake 25-30 minutes until the chicken is just cooked.

Remove the wings from the oven and brush liberally with the harissa glaze. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden.

For the cilantro lime yogurt dipping sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lime zest and juice, cilantro and garlic. Season with salt to taste.

For serving:

Sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds and green onions and serve along side yogurt dipping sauce.
