Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons peri-peri sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, peri-peri sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove wings from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
5. While the wings are grilling, prepare the honey-lime glaze by mixing honey and fresh lime juice in a small bowl.
6. Once the wings are done, remove them from the grill and drizzle the honey-lime glaze over them while they are still hot.
7. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
