Tequila and Lime Wings

TEQUILA AND LIME CHICKEN WINGS

By Jack’s Meat Shack

This is one of the first recipes which I cooked when starting out on my culinary escapades and it’s still one of my favourite marinades for chicken wings. I prefer not to separate the drums and flats for this recipe and keep them whole, but of course you can do this if you prefer. These are perfect to share up to a crowd on a game day or even as a starter at a big barbecue event. Just save a shot or two for drinking! This quantity will serve four people.

Ingredients 120ml Tequila 120ml olive oil 1 tsp chilli seeds Juice and zest of one lime Salt and pepper 1kg chicken wings Method Combine the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings and mix, ensuring that all the wings have an even coating.

Cover and marinate in the fridge for two to four hours.

Heat the grill to 200°C. Lay the chicken wings on a roasting tin and cook under direct heat for ten minutes to get a bit of a crust then move to indirect heat.

Turn the wings occasionally to prevent them from burning and remove to a serving platter when the internal temperature reaches 75°C.
