Green chilies and taco seasoning add the piquant flavor but it is the lemon-lime carbonated beverage that adds the sweetness to these chicken wings. A Pillsbury Bake-Off® finalist recipe. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
2 1/2 lbs chicken wings, cut apart at joints, wing tips discarded |
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced including tops (about 2 tablespoons) |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
2 (12 ounce) cans carbonated lemon-lime beverage |
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can old el paso chopped green chilies, drained |
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package old el paso taco seasoning mix |
10 lettuce leaves, if desired |
Directions:
1. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add chicken wings and onions; sprinkle with pepper flakes. Cook uncovered 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned; drain.
3. Stir in carbonated beverage, green chiles and taco seasoning mix. Increase heat to high; cook uncovered 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken wings are completely glazed, small amount of glaze remains in skillet and juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (180°F).
5. To serve, line serving plate with lettuce; arrange chicken wings over lettuce. Serve immediately.
