Ingredients include:

4 lds of chicken wings or drumsticks
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher salt & ground pepper

1 Lime
Chopped Cilantro, for garnish

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Rinse chicken under cool water and pat dry. Put them in a large bowl with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Toss to coat with the seasoning. Spread the wings out on a baking sheet and roast about 25 minutes until the skin gets crisp and brown, and the meat is tender.

While you wait, throw the butter, red curry paste, honey and soy sauce into the blender. Season with salt and puree. Scrape into a big bowl.
