Ingredients
- 2.5 lb party chicken wings
- chopped cilantro, optional garnish
for the glaze
- 2 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1/4 cup reposado tequila
- 2 tbsp triple sec
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water + 2 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat wings dry with paper towel and then lay them on baking sheet. Place into oven and roast for about 40-50 minutes or until the skins of the wings reach desired crispness.
- When chicken is about 10 minutes from finished, make the sauce on the stove. Add all sauce ingredients except the cornstarch + 1/4 cup water. Bring to a low boil. Be careful to not cook too long or else the alcohol will completely disappear.
- In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water, then add to the mixture. Stir until sauce boils again and cook until sauce becomes thick (should take less than 1 minute. you don't want to cook too long or you will evaporate all the alcohol). Brush finished wings with glaze. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
