Instructions
Preheat broiler. Line bottom of a broiler pan with foil, then oil rack of pan.
Toss wings with oil, black pepper, and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl, then spread in 1 layer on rack of broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat, turning over once, until barely cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
While wings are broiling, blend preserves, lime juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Transfer to a small heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 minute.
Brush 1/4 cup sauce on cooked wings and broil 2 to 3 minutes.
Brush wings with 1/4 cup sauce again, then turn wings over and brush with another 1/4 cup sauce. Broil until more deeply browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Brush with remaining sauce before serving.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine
Chicken Wings can be paired with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. White meat is typically paired with white wine as to not overpower the flavor of the meat, so chardonnay and sauvignon blanc are safe choices. Chicken prepared with a tomato sauce or certainly a red wine sauce can and should be served with a red like a pinot noir. The La Crema Russian River Chardonnay with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

La Crema Russian River Chardonnay
On the nose are citrus tones, with green apple, pineapple and floral aromas accentuated by caramel and hazelnut traces. The bright fruit and crisp acidity typical of the Russian River appellation are apparent in the mouth, with lemon-lime components and concentrated pear notes, offset by a lingering apple and spice finish.
