MARGARITA CHICKEN WINGS

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings split
1 cup sliver tequila
1 teaspoon grated lime zest (from 2 limes) plus 6 tablespoons lime juice (from 4 limes)
1 teaspoon grated orange zest (from 1 orange) plus 1/2 cup orange juice (from 1 orange)
1 tablespoon agave nectar
6 to 8 pequin chile peppers, crushed (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place the chicken wings in a resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the tequila, lime zest and juice, orange zest and juice, agave, crushed peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour over the wings and seal the bag. Toss the wings in the marinade to coat. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the wings out on the tray so they do not touch each other. Bake, flipping the wings halfway through, until cooked through and beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile place the marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the wings, turning often and brushing occasionally with the reduced liquid to coat, until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes.

MARGARITA CHICKEN WINGS

Forget your Buffalo Wings. These are a treat unrivalled and they will vanish as quickly as you can drag them off the BBQ. Thanks to Ted Reader, the Guru of the Q. You will find that the use of a grill basket will make the cooking of the wings much easier. I have also done these in the broiler.

Tips:

  • Prep the chicken wings ahead of time: Marinating the chicken wings for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
  • Use a combination of cooking methods: Searing the chicken wings in a skillet before baking them in the oven will give them a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.
  • Make sure the chicken wings are cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken wings should reach 165°F (74°C) before serving.
  • Garnish the chicken wings with fresh herbs: Cilantro, parsley, or mint are all great options for garnishing margarita chicken wings.

Conclusion:

These margarita chicken wings are the perfect party appetizer or game day snack. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a fun and flavorful recipe, give these margarita chicken wings a try!
