Jalapeno Lime Chicken Wings

I made these for New Year's Eve, and they were a huge hit with my family - I mean HUGE! The will most definitely be on the Superbowl menu! I made them along with the Parmesan Garlic Wings and Pepper Poppers. I purchased 4 pounds of Tyson frozen wings in a bag from Walmart and thawed them before starting. They worked great.

4 pounds chicken wings
4 jalapeno peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos (I used soy sauce)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
juice of 2 limes
1 cup fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan wth foil and place a wire cooling rack into the pan.

Add all of the marinade ingredients to a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. If the marinade is a little thick, add a splash of water and reprocess.

Place the wings into a large dish or freezer bag. Pour the marinade over the wings and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Place wing on wire cooling rack in pan and place in oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and rotate. Increase temperature to 425 degrees and return to oven for 15 minutes.

Remove and enjoy!

Just FYI: I got about half of these wings onto the jelly roll pan. I cooked these on the top rack of the oven along with a pan of the Garlic Parmesan wings while a pan of Pepper Poppers cooked on the bottom rack. They were all done at the same time, so I moved them to a platter and got the rest of the wings cooking while we loaded up our plates!

Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Obviously, my life is insane once school starts. I still cook (some), but trying and tweaking new recipes just isn't a priority. Occassionally, it does happen, though I certainly don't have time to post them. We're at the end of our two week Christmas break, and I've tried a lot of new recipes. I guess it's time to get them on here!

This was one of the two types of wings we had for New Year's Eve. Crispy, tasty, and just to die for. I can't say which were better and neither could anyone else. These will definitely be made again and again and again. The Superbowl is just around the corner, and I can guarantee you these will be on the menu.

I bought a 4 pound bag of Tyson raw frozen wings and thawed them to make these. They worked great!

4 pounds drummets
1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Kraft Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan with foil, and place a wire cooling rack into the pan.

Place drummets in a large bowl. Sprinkle spices and Parmesan on top. Using a large spootula or your hands, mix until all drummets are well coated.  Place drummets on wire rack. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and turn drummets over. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes.

Remove and enjoy!!

Just a side note: I couldn't get all of the wings on one pan. I have a fairly large oven so I cooked one pan of these and a pan of the Jalapeno Lime Chicken Wings on the top rack, while I cooked a pan of Pepper Poppers on the bottom rack. They were all cooked to perfection and done at the same time! I placed the wings onto serving platters, put the last of them onto the pans and stuck the in the oven while we started loading up our plates!
