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:

  • Choose high-quality chicken wings. Fresh, plump wings with evenly distributed fat will give you the best results.
  • Marinate the wings for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat and make them more juicy.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your wings their flavor, so don't be afraid to experiment with different recipes. Some popular options include a mixture of tequila, lime juice, and spices, or a combination of soy sauce, honey, and garlic.
  • Cook the wings over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the wings frequently. This will ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or a simple mixture of lime juice and cilantro.
