SPICY TEQUILA SUNRISE CHICKEN WINGS



Spicy Tequila Sunrise Chicken Wings image

This is a recipe that I made up for a bunch of hungry guys that where watching football one afternoon with my husband. They loved them so much that they actually paid more attention to the wings than the game for 15 minutes! For milder sauce use mild chili sauce instead of Thai. Serve with celery and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Time 4h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (10 ounce) jar prepared jalapeno pepper jelly
1 cup orange juice
1 cup tequila
2 pounds chicken wings
½ gallon vegetable oil for frying
½ cup butter
¼ cup Thai-style chili sauce

Steps:

  • Whisk jalapeno pepper jelly, orange juice, and tequila together in a bowl until smooth; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken wings, coat with the marinade, squeeze to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 4 hours to overnight.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken wings from the marinade and shake to remove excess moisture. Blot wings dry with paper towel. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Fry chicken wings in batches in hot oil until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, 10 to 15 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire baking rack.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir chili sauce into the melted butter until the color is consistent; pour into a large stainless steel bowl. Add chicken wings and toss to coat in the sauce.

CHICKEN TEQUILA SUNRISE

Not your 'typical' tequila-chicken recipe. This recipe uses bone-in chicken pieces and is baked in the oven - no marinating! You will love the succulent, juicy taste of this chicken - and the ease of preparation. NOTE: Please use bone-in chicken pieces as you won't have the same delicious results with boneless, skinless chicken.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon canola oil
salt
fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons fresh, grated ginger
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1 (15 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained
1/3 cup slivered almonds
1 cup dates

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet over moderate heat.
  • Season chicken with salt and fresh-ground pepper.

  • Stir, blending.
  • Add sweet potatoes.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add almonds and dates.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help to keep it juicy.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sunrise Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can be served with a variety of sides. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Sunrise Chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
