Here's how to make irresistible spicy chicken wings.

Ingredient

CHICKEN WINGS 1 Kg

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL 3-4 tablespoons

CHILI POWDER 10 gr

STRONG PAPRIKA 10 gr

TABASCO 1 tablespoon

FINE SALT to taste

GROUND BLACK PEPPER to taste

Method

Clean the chicken wings: in the presence of any hair or feather residues, remove them with tweezers or pass them quickly on the gas flame. Wash the chicken wings and dab them with kitchen paper. Now prepare the marinade: put in a bowl the extra virgin olive oil, Tabasco, paprika, chili, salt and pepper, then mix. Put the fins in a large bowl, add the marinade and cover with plastic wrap. Keep refrigerated for at least 2 hours. After the necessary time, transfer the chicken wings to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for about 20 minutes. Your Mexican chicken wings are ready to be served.

Recommendations

You can cook the Mexican chicken wings in a pan, if you prefer, although baking in the oven is certainly preferable: it guarantees a more homogeneous browning and there is no risk that the seasoning burns during cooking. Alternatively, you can also prepare the Mexican chicken wings on the barbecue or on the grill: drain them from the marinade and cook them for about a quarter of an hour turning them from time to time. The marinade mix can also be enriched with coriander, cumin, chopped garlic and with the aromatic herbs and spices you prefer, according to your personal tastes.

Preservation

It is advisable to consume Mexican chicken wings immediately after preparation. If they are left, you can store them in the refrigerator for 1 day, inside an airtight container.
