Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Pat wings dry and arrange on a sheet pan lined with foil. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Brush wings with any remaining glaze. Serve hot with lime wedges if you have them.
