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



Chicken Tequila Sunrise image

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.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs frying chicken, cut up (or your own favorite bone-in chicken pieces)
2 onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup tequila
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon honey
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon course ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Spray a shallow baking pan (with sides) large enough to accommodate the chicken in a single layer with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place unseasoned chicken pieces, skin-side up, in baking pan; place pan in preheated oven for 25 minutes to crisp skin and melt fat.
  • Remove from oven and pour off fat.
  • Place onion slices under chicken pieces.
  • Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
  • Return to oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is tender and crisp, and liquid thickens.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a tender and juicy result.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out and becoming tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safe to eat.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving helps to redistribute the juices and results in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Sunrise chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions. Experiment with different marinades and side dishes to create your own unique take on this classic dish.
