Categories Chicken

Time 10h

Number Of Ingredients 7

3-5 lb chicken wings (i use frozen ones)
1 c gin or vodka (i use vodka. you don't need the good stuff)
1 c soy sauce, low sodium
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp garlic crushed
1 large onion chopped
pepper to taste

Steps:

1. In a 10" x 14" baking pan, spread chicken in an even layer. combine all ingredients and spread over chicken. Cover with aluminum foil and let the chicken get drunk for at least 2 hours (all day is better) turning the chicken every so often. I have the Tupperware marinating container and put the wings (frozen) in it with the sauce and leave it on the counter. It defrosts yet stays cool and is available to flip over every 45 minutes or so.
2. Cook covered at 350* for 1 hour. Uncover and cook at 325* until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, I leave it about another hour to an hour 1/4. Turn chicken half way through cooking. Meat will fall off the bone.
3. There is NEVER any leftovers at my house when I cook this. I saved this to post so that I could put a picture, but by the time it hit the table everyone dug in! Sorry!

Tequila Lime Drunken Chicken Wings image

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ pounds chicken wings (tips trimmed off saved for soup.)
⅔ cup tequila
½ cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or hotter if you like)

Steps:

Start by combining all the ingredients to make the marinade in a small bowl, mixing well.
Place the chicken wing sections in a large bowl or large ziplock bag, then the marinade. Mix the wings in the marinade so they all get coated.
Cover the bowl or seal the ziplock bag and refrigerate for 4-6 hours. You can marinate the wings overnight if needed. (bone-in and skin-on chicken is okay to marinate overnight)
Preheat oven to 400°.
Line a baking pan with foil.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the pan, and pour the marinade evenly over all the wings
Bake until meat is well browned and pulling away from the bone, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Any marinade that is on the tray with the fully cooked chicken wings is safe to use since its been a subjected to a high temperature.
