Cajun Honey Lime Chicken



Ingredients

3 pounds chicken wings
1/3 cup Cajun seasoning
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
1 fresh lime

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.Place chicken wings on baking sheet in a single layer, without crowding. Sprinkle each wing liberally with Cajun seasoning.
Bake on middle rack of the 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. ( you can also place the chicken in BBQ grill)
While the chicken is baking begin preparing the basting sauce.While uncut, zest the lime until you have 1 tbsp of zest. Cut the lime in half and juice 1/2 of the lime, reserving juice and setting aside the other lime 1/2 for later.
Add the BBQ Sauce, Honey, Sriracha and the juice from 1/2 of the lime to a small bowl. Stir until blended. Set aside.
After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and baste with 1/2 of the prepared sauce using a basting brush. 
Return the chicken to the oven  for 10 minutes.Remove the chicken from the oven oand baste again with the remaining 1/2 of the basting sauce. 
Return to the oven  for a final 10 minutes to complete cooking and to caramelize the basting sauce on the wings.
Remove the chicken onto a serving tray. Squeeze the juice from remaining 1/2 of lime over the wings and sprinkle the wings with the lime zest. 
Serve hot!
