Photo: Guy Fieri's Tequila-Lime Wings Recipe
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 3 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint, tips removed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
For the Sauce:
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup tequila
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- (sometimes called agave nectar)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Prepare the wings: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Season the wings with salt and pepper and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Cook until just brown and crisp, about 45 minutes.
Make the sauce: Combine the lime zest and juice, tequila, agave syrup, cumin, adobo sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon pepper in a bowl. Pour over the warm wings and let marinate at least 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill to high. Grill the wings until marked, 10 to 15 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the marinade to a saucepan and cook until slightly thick, about 8 minutes (you can do this on the grill as well). Drizzle the wings with the sauce and top with cilantro, if desired.

Guy, my man! You have done it AGAIN! These wings are DOPE!!! They are a welcome replacement for buffalo wings (which I hate. They have a nice little spicy kick from the adobo and the lime and tequila combination is awesome. I used a tequila liqueur instead of regular tequila and it just set them off!!

These wings are wonderful. A big hit with our guests. I borrowed from another of Guy's wing recipes, and brined the wings for about 90 minutes (did not have enough time to brine for hours; added 1/4 cup brown sugar to the brine which included salt, black peppercorns and garlic. I wanted to double the marinade per other reviews, but did not have enough limes - so I subbed pineapple juice. The result was fall of the bone delicious wings. Try this recipe!
