Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the wings all over with salt and pepper and set on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the wings until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF (74˚C), about 20 minutes.
- Heat 1 inch of canola oil in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 350ºF (180˚C).
- While the oil heats, make the wing sauce. In a medium skillet, gently melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the lime juice, garlic, honey, and Fiery spice blend. Bring to a simmer, whisking to combine. Cook until the sauce comes together and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Make cornstarch slurry: stir together cornstarch and cold water, breaking up any clumps, you should be left with a milk like consistency. Whisk cornstarch slurry into the sauce, bring up to a low boil, whisking continuously until thickened. Season with salt to taste. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
- Working in batches, carefully lower 4-6 wings at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining wings.
- In a large bowl, toss 4-6 wings at a time with ¼-⅓ cup of the sauce until well coated. Repeat with the remaining wings.
- Garnish the wings with cilantro, lime zest, and a pinch of Fiery spice blend, if desired. Serve hot.
