SPICY TEQUILA SUNRISE CHICKEN WINGS

Spicy Tequila Sunrise Chicken Wings image

This is a recipe that I made up for a bunch of hungry guys that where watching football one afternoon with my husband. They loved them so much that they actually paid more attention to the wings than the game for 15 minutes! For milder sauce use mild chili sauce instead of Thai. Serve with celery and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) jar prepared jalapeno pepper jelly
1 cup orange juice
1 cup tequila
2 pounds chicken wings
½ gallon vegetable oil for frying
½ cup butter
¼ cup Thai-style chili sauce

Steps:

Whisk jalapeno pepper jelly, orange juice, and tequila together in a bowl until smooth; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken wings, coat with the marinade, squeeze to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 4 hours to overnight.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Remove chicken wings from the marinade and shake to remove excess moisture. Blot wings dry with paper towel. Discard the remaining marinade.
Fry chicken wings in batches in hot oil until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, 10 to 15 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire baking rack.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir chili sauce into the melted butter until the color is consistent; pour into a large stainless steel bowl. Add chicken wings and toss to coat in the sauce.

CHICKEN TEQUILA SUNRISE

Chicken Tequila Sunrise image

Not your 'typical' tequila-chicken recipe. This recipe uses bone-in chicken pieces and is baked in the oven - no marinating! You will love the succulent, juicy taste of this chicken - and the ease of preparation. NOTE: Please use bone-in chicken pieces as you won't have the same delicious results with boneless, skinless chicken.

Ingredients

2 lbs frying chicken, cut up (or your own favorite bone-in chicken pieces)
2 onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup orange juice

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Spray a shallow baking pan (with sides) large enough to accommodate the chicken in a single layer with non-stick cooking spray.
Place unseasoned chicken pieces, skin-side up, in baking pan; place pan in preheated oven for 25 minutes to crisp skin and melt fat.
Remove from oven and pour off fat.
Place onion slices under chicken pieces.
Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
Return to oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is tender and crisp, and liquid thickens.
