Makes 6 servings
2 lbs. chicken wings, with skin, raw
1 pack La Preferida Taco Seasoning*
8 oz. La Preferida Mojo Marinade
1 T. salt, Kosher, coarse
1 T. spice, black pepper, ground
La Preferida Red Jalapeño Aioli (see recipe below)
Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Rinse chicken wings under cold water and pat dry, season with La Preferida Taco Seasoning, salt, and black pepper—allow to sit for 10 minutes, allow for salt to dissolve. Put wings in a ziplock bag and pour in marinade, refrigerate for 10 minutes. (Ziplock bags work best, but feel free to use a clean plastic bag or small bowl, just make sure to coat the chicken wings well.)
Drain excess marinade from chicken wings. Place on grill, turn occasionally, until meat is no longer pink. If you have a thermometer, probe to 165º F. Take a chicken wing and check for doneness. Once done, place chicken wings on serving plate, allow to cool for about two minutes and garnish with cilantro.
The flat part of the chicken wing usually takes six minutes, three minutes per side. The drum takes 10 minutes, five minutes per side.
