Pecan Free Cilantro-Lime Chicken Wings

Bright, citrusy, and packed with fresh herb flavor, these baked chicken wings are the kind of crowd-pleaser that disappears fast at any gathering. The marinade layers fresh lime juice, lime zest, coconut aminos, ginger, and turmeric into something genuinely complex — and a long soak of up to eight hours means the flavor goes all the way through. Coconut oil helps the skin crisp up beautifully in a hot oven without any need for deep frying, so cleanup stays simple and the results are still seriously satisfying. A smart move here is reserving a portion of the marinade before the raw chicken ever touches it, which gets whisked into a bright herb drizzle to finish the wings right before serving. That double hit of cilantro and lime — once in the marinade, once in the sauce — makes every bite feel fresh and lively. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of any nut-based ingredients, relying instead on pantry-friendly staples and bold whole-food flavors. Serve them straight from the oven with extra lime wedges and you've got a dish that needs absolutely nothing else.
