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.

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!

I used chipoltes in adobo sauce and 1 Tablespoon of the adobo sauce and that added much more flavor than the original recipe.

I really liked them. I added more agave to offset the sour, but they turned out great. I also added chili garlic paste a.k.a. Sambal Oelek sauce. It gave it a really nice garlicky bite. Way to go Guy!!! Keep them coming!
