Adovada Marinade

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Adovada Marinade

    In a dry skillet, toast the dried New Mexico chiles over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, stem and seed the chiles.

  2. 2

    Blend the Marinade

    In a blender, combine the toasted chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if necessary to achieve a pourable consistency.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Wings

    Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour the adovada marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 72 hours, turning occasionally.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Cooking

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top.

  5. 5

    Bake the Wings

    Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until crispy and cooked through, turning halfway.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
