Jalapeno Lime Chicken Wings

I made these for New Year's Eve, and they were a huge hit with my family - I mean HUGE! The will most definitely be on the Superbowl menu! I made them along with the Parmesan Garlic Wings and Pepper Poppers. I purchased 4 pounds of Tyson frozen wings in a bag from Walmart and thawed them before starting. They worked great.

4 pounds chicken wings
4 jalapeno peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos (I used soy sauce)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
juice of 2 limes
1 cup fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan wth foil and place a wire cooling rack into the pan.

Add all of the marinade ingredients to a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. If the marinade is a little thick, add a splash of water and reprocess.

Place the wings into a large dish or freezer bag. Pour the marinade over the wings and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Place wing on wire cooling rack in pan and place in oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and rotate. Increase temperature to 425 degrees and return to oven for 15 minutes.

Remove and enjoy!

Just FYI: I got about half of these wings onto the jelly roll pan. I cooked these on the top rack of the oven along with a pan of the Garlic Parmesan wings while a pan of Pepper Poppers cooked on the bottom rack. They were all done at the same time, so I moved them to a platter and got the rest of the wings cooking while we loaded up our plates!
