Instructions

For the marinade:

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, red pepper, garlic and honey until completely combined.
Toss the chicken wings in the marinade then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

For serving:

Remove the chicken wings 30 minutes before cooking.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and heat through. Working in batches add the wings, cooking until the wings caramelize on both sides and are cooked through, turning frequently so they don’t burn, about 10 minutes total.
After all the wings are cooked through add any remaining marinade to the pan until it reduces into a sticky glaze on the wings, about an additional 2 minutes.
Remove to a large platter and top with peanuts, green onions and cilantro. Serve immediately.
