Wings and Marinade

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    Toast the guajillo peppers in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove stems and seeds, then soak them in warm water for 15 minutes until softened. Blend the soaked peppers with garlic, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings and the guajillo marinade. Coat the wings thoroughly and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Bake the Wings

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated wings on the rack and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are cooked through and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Char-Grill the Wings

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Transfer the baked wings to the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until charred and crispy.

  5. 5

    Prepare Dipping Veggies

    While the wings are grilling, slice assorted veggies (like carrots, celery, and bell peppers) into sticks for dipping.

  6. 6

    Make Chipotle Blue Cheese Dressing

    In a bowl, mix 1 cup of blue cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1-2 tsp of chipotle sauce, and salt to taste. Stir until smooth.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the char-grilled wings with crispy dipping veggies and the chipotle blue cheese dressing on the side.
