Ingredients

1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
Kosher salt and pepper
2 lb. chicken wings, split into flats and drummettes, tips discarded
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3 Tbsp. guava jam (see Note)
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
3 Tbsp. sriracha
1 Tbsp. lime juice, plus 1 tsp. grated lime zest and lime wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Heat grill to low. In large bowl, stir together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add wings and toss to coat. Add oil and toss again.
2. Step 2Place wings bone side down on grill and grill, covered, 10 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more.
3. Step 3Meanwhile, in second large bowl, whisk guava jam into butter while still hot until incorporated, then whisk in sriracha and lime juice. Using basting brush, brush about 2 tablespoons guava sauce onto wings, flip, and brush other side with 2 tablespoons sauce; grill 1 minute more.

Note: Bonne Maman makes guava preserves or you can find guava jam at Trader Joe’s (seasonally) or at Hispanic markets.
