Pour over the honey mixture, turning the wings to ensure that they are all well coated. Cover with Clingfilm and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight, turning once or twice.

Mix together the mayonnaise with the remaining lime zest and juice and the coriander. Leave to let the flavours develop while the wings are cooking. Arrange the wings on a rack set over a tinfoil-lined roasting tin. Roast at the top of the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the wings are tender and golden, basting once or twice with the remaining marinade and turning once. Remove from the oven. Garnish the wings with lemon or lime wedges and serve immediately with the mayonnaise.
