This takes about 20 minutes.

  • Cover the skillet after 10 minutes and cook for another 10 minutes. Again, uncover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens. Place wings under preheated broiler on high for 2-3 minutes. Before serving, garnish with fresh lime juice, cilantro and sliced chile peppers.
