Instructions
- Preheat grill to 390 degrees.
- Blend the limes, garlic, black pepper, coriander, cumin, Aleppo pepper, baking soda (if desired), salt and oil. Coat wings in the mixture.
- Grill for approx. 25 minutes, rotating a couple of times during the cook, or until internal temperature reaches 185 degrees, ensuring chicken is tender and any redness near the bone is cooked away.
- While wings cook, squeeze 2 tbsp of lemon juice (about half of one lemon) into a small bowl and set aside.
- Cut the remaining lemon into wedges and set aside for serving.
- In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil over medium. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the lemon juice, molasses, remaining black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and chili.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken. Set the glaze aside.
- Toss the cooked wings in glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve!
