Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 0.25 cup Tequila
- 0.25 cup Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tbsp Lime zest
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the tequila, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, chipotle chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Step 5
Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack.
Step 6
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Step 7
If desired, broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve extra crispiness.
Step 8
Transfer the wings to a serving platter, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
