The Recipe of Tequila Lime Chicken Wings
You can pressure cook the chicken wings first to make them tender without losing their moisture. Then, add the spices and tequila. Bake the wings and that’s all. That’s the long story short.
You can even fry wings and then dunk them into a tequila lime sauce. But frying them will only increase the fat content.
Well, that was only to get the overview. Here is the full information you need to prepare Tequila Lime Chicken Wings.
Ingredients:
- Chicken wings (2 pounds)
- 1 cup water
- Half teaspoon of each: coriander powder, cumin powder, chilli flakes, and garlic powder
- Salt as per your taste
- Black pepper ground as per your taste
- 1/2 Cup Dos Alas tequila
- Zest of 1 Lime
- 1/3 Cup of Lime Juice
- 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar
- Pour water into the pressure cooker, and put a trivet or steaming basket inside it.
- Add the chicken wings to the pressure cooker and pressure cook them for about 10 minutes (in an electric pressure cooker)/7 minutes (in a stovetop one)
- Then, allow the pressure cooker to cool down and release the pressure naturally for about half an hour.
- Make the marinade when the wings are getting cooked and cooled down in the pressure cooker.
- For that, put the zest of lime (the colored outside portion of citrus lime fruit peel in the grated form), lime juice, salt, brown sugar, and tequila in a bowl, and mix all of them properly.
- Now, mix the rest of the dry ingredients and then add them to the marinade.
- Once the cooker released its pressure fully, take out the cooked wings and place them on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.
- Now, brush the wings with marinade on both sides and reserve the remaining portion of the marinade.
- Let the wings sit in the fridge for at least half an hour.
- Bake the wings in a preheated oven at 425*F for 10 minutes. Then, turn the wings and again bake them for about 10 minutes for even cooking.
- At the time wings are baked, cook the marinade in a small saucepan until it becomes shiny and slightly thickened.
- Once the wings are baked and the marinade is cooked, dunk the wings in the saucepan and toss them to ensure that they are properly coated with the marinade.
- Finally, serve tequila lime chicken wings with crunchy salad.
