Game Day Treat: Tequila Lime Chicken Wings

The idea behind these wings is simple. Bake the wings until they're crispy then toss them over heat with a sticky sauce that coats them with flavor.

Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. chicken wings, jointed with tips removed

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 3-4 large garlic cloves, minced

• 1 large shallot minced

• Zest and Juice from two limes

• 1/2 cup tequila

• 1/4 cup golden syrup (or light corn syrup)

• Minced Jalapeno pepper (to taste)

• 1/2 Tbsp. cumin

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Season wings with salt and pepper.

Place seasoned wings on a rack over a large cookie sheet and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the skin is as crispy as you like.

Meanwhile, make the tequila lie sauce by combining remaining ingredients in a large bowl using a whisk to emulsify them. (You can also do it in a blender.)

When the wings are done, remove from the oven and set aside. Heat up a large skillet or wok over moderately high heat, add a little vegetable or peanut oil and when it's hot add the wings and the prepared sauce.

Quickly toss the wings in the sauce so all the pieces are coated, then reduce the heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce becomes a glaze coating the wings.

Serve immediately.
