2 1/2 pounds chicken wings

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 limes)

1/2 cup apricot preserves (more or less)

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 1/2 tablespoons sugar

large garlic cloves

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut off wing tips, reserving for another use, and halve wings at joint. Arrange wings in a single layer on a large roasting pan. If you can, use a disposable foil pan for easier cleanup!

Purée remaining ingredients in a blender and pour mixture over wings in the pan. Bake wings for 50 minutes. Turn wings over and then bake 45 minutes to 1 hour more, or until liquid is thick and sticky.

Serve wings warm or at room temperature.
