Tequila Tipsy Wings Recipes

TEQUILA-MARINATED CRISPY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Cut the chicken wings into 2 pieces at the joint, discarding the tips.
• Place the chicken wings in a non metallic dish and add the remaining ingredients.
• Toss well to coat, then cover and let marinated in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the grill.
• Cook the chicken over hot coals, turning occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until crisply browned and the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
• Serve at once.

TEQUILA-TANGERINE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, soy sauce, tequila, jalapeños, sliced tangerines and tangerine juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce reduces, about 15 minutes. Strain and discard the solids, then return the sauce to the pan. Whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water in a small bowl. Add to the sauce and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Pour the oil to a depth of 3 inches in a Dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fry the wings until golden brown and a thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted in the thickest portion (avoid bone), 8 to 10 minutes (The wings will begin to float to the top.)
• Remove the wings to paper towels to drain. Place the wings in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with jalapeño slices and tangerine slices.
