Sweet & Sour Chicken Wings

Crispy, sticky, garlicky, sweet & sour with a hint of heat makes these chicken wings worth getting messy for! You might think you’re only gonna eat 3 or 4 but 10 wings later you’ll be looking for more – no joke, this seriously happened to me, LOL. The black lime adds an umami citrus bomb that keeps the wings from getting overly sweet while the date molasses adds the caramely undertones that make you wonder where this flavor combo has been your whole life.
