Grilled Lemon-Lime Chicken Wings

Cuisine American
Servings 30 wings

Ingredients
  

  • 30 chicken wings
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (add more if you like things spicy)
  • 1 cup orange juice, with pulp
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1.5 oz. tequila
  • 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • After thoroughly cleaning the chicken wings, season with salt and pepper then split them into two large freezer bags (about 15 wings per bag).
  • In a large bowl, mix all remaining ingredients except for cilantro into a marinade.
  • Chop the cilantro and make three piles: one for each bag, and one to set aside and sprinkle on the wings after you have grilled.
  • Divide marinade and pour over the chicken in each bag, add one pile of the cilantro per bag, seal, and mix well. Place the sealed bags in a cooler and allow chicken to marinate at least one hour before grilling. 
  • Cook on a hot grill while watching for grill flares that could burn the wings. Depending on the size of your wings, they will cook fast, and the skin will crisp up quickly.
  • Once cooked thoroughly, plate and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Enjoy!
