Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 to 6 tbsp Springs Fireplace Tesuque hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp local honey
  • 2 tbsp good quality butter
  • chopped scallion and cilantro for garnish

Method
 

For the sauce:
  1. Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium-low heat.
  2. Pour 2 tablespoons of Springs Fireplace Tesuque hot sauce into a stainless-steel bowl. Add honey and melted butter and mix well. Taste and add more hot sauce if desired. Set aside.
For the wings:
  1. Wash and pat dry chicken wings with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the wings in a gallon Ziploc bag and add two tablespoons (or enough to coat thoroughly) of Tesuque hot sauce and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Work the sauce into the meat by lightly shaking or massaging the bag to ensure an even coating on all the wings. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (overnight is even better).
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F, or set your air fryer to 360°F.
  4. Cook in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or in the air fryer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Baste wings with the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes to create a sticky crispy char.
  6. Arrange the wings on a festive platter. Garnish with chopped scallion and cilantro — add a bowl of extra sauce for dipping.
