Ingredients: 


  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra for oiling rack 

  • 5 pounds chicken wings, split, wing tips cut off and discarded 

  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup of your favorite flavor of Robin’s Rockin’ Cajun Pepper Jelly* 

  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 

  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (recommended: Frank's)


Directions: 


  • Preheat the broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil, place a rack on top of the pan and oil the rack. 

  • Toss the wings with the 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the wings on the rack in 1
    layer. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat, turning over once, until barely cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. 

  • In a small saucepan over moderate heat, whisk your favorite flavor of Robin’s Rockin’ Cajun Pepper Jelly, lime
    juice and hot sauce until smooth.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let simmer until syrupy.
  • Brush 1/4 cup
    sauce on the cooked wings and broil 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Brush the wings with 1/4 cup sauce again, and then turn the
    wings over and brush with another 1/4 cup sauce.
  • Broil until crispy about, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Brush with the
    remaining sauce before serving. Would also be great on the grill!
