Ingredients
- 1 pound wings
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder up to 1 tsp
Sauce
- 1/3 cup tequila
- 3 limes juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Add the wings, salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and chili powder to a mixing bowl.
- Mix to coat all of the wings in the seasonings.
- Place the wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While the wings are cooking, add all of the sauce ingredients to a sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently so that the cornstarch is smooth and incorporated.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, letting the tequila cook down and the sauce to thicken.
- Once the wings are cooked completely, add them to a clean mixing bowl.
- Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- It's important to let the sauce simmer so that the tequila can cook down.
- If you like extra lime, add more lime juice to the sauce.
- A great alternative to wing seasoning is chili lime seasoning.
