By á-34480

Chicken wings tossed in a sweet and sour tequila lime sauce and garnished with fresh green cilantro leaves. Need we say more?

Ingredients

• TEQUILA LIME SAUCE:
• 1 pound chicken wings, cut into segments, tips removed and discarded
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly cracked
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup tequila, blanco or reposado
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon pepper, freshly cracked
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Season the wings with salt and pepper and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Cook until just brown and crisp, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, add all ingredients for Tequila Lime Sauce to a saucepan and cook until slightly thick, about 8 minutes (you can do this on the grill as well). Keep warm.

Heat a grill to high heat.

Grill the wings until marked, 10 to 15 minutes, turning as needed.

Drizzle the wings with the sauce and top with cilantro, if desired.

Serve immediately.
