Tequila Lime Chicken Wings Recipe
Tequila Lime Chicken Wings are the most popular hot wings.Instead of using olive oil, butter, or marinades for your wings, you’re going to use tequila and lime. You’ll also want to make sure to use fresh ingredients when making this move.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup tequila
- 6 tablespoons lime juice 3 limes, juiced
- 4 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 medium jalapeno optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12-14 chicken wings
- 8 cups grapeseed oil canola or vegetable work too
Instructions
- A saucepan over medium heat is the best place to combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, sliced jalapeno, honey, and salt. Simmer rapidly.
- Reduce sauce by 2/3 and thicken to a syrup, stirring occasionally.
- In the meantime, place oil in a deep fryer thermometer that has a heavy bottom. Once the oil reaches 375°F, heat it over a medium-high flame.
- Lay out the wings on a paper towel and gently pat them dry. As well as the plate, set out clean paper towels for after cooking.
- Fry wings when the oil reaches the desired temperature. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding in the pot. Once golden brown, crisp, and juices run clear, fry for 8 minutes.
- Toss cooked wings with sauce immediately after removing them from the oil and bloating excess oil with paper towels.
- Serve right away!
