Tequila Lime Wings Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links. Sometimes our food needs to have a little alcohol in it. As a major college football fan, I know all too well that our favorite teams have given us huge highs & depressing lows at this point in the season. From winning the big games too almost losing the easy ones, this is the moment in the season that we could all use a shot of tequila. Or maybe just some Tequila Lime Wings. Post Sponsored by Cowboy Charcoal Instead of breaking out the alcohol, why not just add it to what we have on the grill? Introducing my new Tequila Lime Wings recipe! Cook these bad boys over some hot Cowboy Charcoal and you will be able to enjoy next Saturday whether your team wins or loses. Because in the end, good food and great drinks make us all winners! Tips for the Tequila Lime Wings Recipe These wings are super easy to make and pair with everything else that you will bring to the tailgate. There is one tip that I recommend. Although it is optional, I highly recommend not throwing away the tequila lime brine that you marinated the chicken. In a separate skillet, you can easily pour out the brine and let it simmer over the fire for 10 minutes. This will thicken up the liquid and make it the perfect sauce for the wings. Just bring an extra bowl, toss the wings in the sauce and enjoy an even more flavorful bite in your Tequila Lime Wings. ▢ 1 lbs of Wingettes▢ 1/4 cup of tequila▢ 2 tbsp agave nectar▢ 1 tbsp ancho chili powder▢ 1 tbsp chili flakes▢ 1 tbsp cumin▢ 2 fresh limes juiced▢ Salt & Pepper Season to preference ▢ 1 lbs of Wingettes ▢ 1/4 cup of tequila ▢ 2 tbsp agave nectar ▢ 1 tbsp ancho chili powder ▢ 1 tbsp chili flakes ▢ 1 tbsp cumin ▢ 2 fresh limes juiced ▢ Salt & Pepper Season to preference In a plastic bag, mix tequila, agave nectar, ancho chili powder, chili flakes, cummin, salt, pepper and lime juice.
