Complete step one above. Preheat oven to 400° F and line a baking tray (or 2) with foil.

Remove chicken wings from marinade and place on a foil lined tray. Brush glaze (instructions below) onto wings and cook for 45-50 minutes.
Chili Lime Glaze:

Mix glaze together in a small bowl (chili powder, garlic powder, honey, lime juice, lime zest, and salt).
-
Preheat oven to broil high and move oven rack to 4-6" away from broiler.
-
Place chicken wings on a foil lined baking tray** and brush glaze on. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until chicken wings are starting to brown and crisp.
Recipe Notes
* chili powder is quite mild in Canada. If you're not into spice and live else with spicier chili powder adjust accordingly starting with 1 tsp.
** you might need 2 baking trays. I only needed one, however the wings should be nicely spaced apart so they don't end up steaming each other vs baking.
