Preparation

Step 1

Grasp the lime leaves by the stem and strip the rest away, discarding the stems. Stack the leaves up and roll them into a tight bundle. Use a sharp knife to cut the lime leaves into fine shreds.

Combine the powdered bouillon, hot sauce, honey, oil, shallots puree, rice wine vinegar and lime leaves in a medium bowl. Whisk together. Reserve some of the marinade for basting, and place the rest in a resealable plastic bag or shallow pan with a tight-fitting lid. Toss the chicken wings in the marinade in the bag and allow to marinate between 30 minutes and 60 minutes. Do not marinate any longer or the wings could be too salty.

Remove the wings from the marinade and discard any marinade left in the bag or pan. Bake the wings on a sheet pan in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes. To finish the wings, brush with the reserved marinade and place the wings under the broiler until crispy and a little charred. Watch closely. The sweet marinade will burn quickly.

Transfer the hot wings to a serving plate and top with cilantro leaves.
