Author Notes: You put da lime in da coconut...Last night we played around with several recipes and this one was the best in my opinion. Grilling is our preferred way of cooking wings, but these could be tossed in the oven also. - nannydeb - nannydeb
Food52 Review: This makes the best chicken wings I have ever had, and I have had a chicken wing fervor ever since visiting the Buffalo bar that claims Buffalo Wings. The coconut milk makes the wings tender, and the other ingredients blend into a flavorful finish. It was like having a tropical dance in my mouth! They cooked up really fast on a weeknight. Thanks, nannydeb. – luvcookbooks - A&M

Meg is a trusted home cook.
I love the name. People will click on it just to find out what the recipe is about.
What is the Fiestaware color in the photo? It doesn't look quite like the turquoise I have, but it might be the lighting.

I think it's "peacock". I've had it a while, though it's not antique. Love Fiestaware- I collect new and old.

While I was mixing the ingredients, I kept thinking of that Harry Nilsson song...
