Step 1
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium. Toast annatto seeds 2 minutes until fragrant, then mash with a spoon into the hot oil.
Step 2
Remove from heat. Stir in minced garlic, lime juice, and soy sauce. Let cool 1 minute, then brush generously over all chicken pieces.
Step 3
Pat wings dry and arrange on a sheet pan lined with foil. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Broil 6 inches from heat for 8–10 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until edges are charred and wings are cooked through.
Step 5
Brush wings with any remaining glaze. Serve hot with lime wedges if you have them.
