    Spicy-sweet chicken wings with a dash of lime juice will have everyone scrambling for the plate – they’re great as a crowd-pleaser for dinner and so easy to throw together.

    The seasonings are simple, but the combination of lime and cayenne will leave your mouth tingling for more, and adding ghee to the sauce gives everything an irresistible texture.

    Spicy Lime Baked Chicken Wings

    For the sauce, you can buy a Paleo-friendly brand or just use your favorite hot sauce recipe to make your own. If you’re going with the store-bought sauce, just make sure to check the ingredients label for any junk – it’s amazing what food companies will put in a perfectly basic hot sauce.

    These wings would be perfect with sweet potatoes (baked, fried, or roasted – pick your favorite!) or maybe some quickly roasted cauliflower.

    They’re perfect for Game Day, but also easy enough that you could make them just for dinner when it’s a night for a treat.
