Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken wings
- ½ cup tequila
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (1 lime)
- ½ teaspoon lime zest
- 2-3 tablespoon harissa paste
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients and pour over chicken wings in a resealable bag. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 450º. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and if you have a rack place it on top of the foil. If not, spray the foil with cooking spray. Cook for 25 minutes. Half way through, flip the wings. Cook until they are a golden brown.
- While cooking, add the marinade to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes until it forms a glaze. Pour over chicken wings before serving. This is optional.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- To keep this recipe simple and ready in just 30 minutes, prepare the marinade and let the chicken sit for several hours, then bake them before you're ready to serve.
- If you want to go the extra mile, you can take the leftover marinade and cook it down a bit on the stove to form a glaze while they're baking.
- Bake on a rack inside a rimmed baking sheet to get them extra crispy.
