Great wings with a cactus marinade. Really, try it.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs chicken wings
1 cup nopalitos
1/2 cup chipotle chile in adobo
1/2 cup lime juice
1/3 cup cilantro
1/2 cup scallion
1/4 cup oil
2 garlic cloves
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients (except the wings) in a blender or a food processor and puree until it has reached a sauce like consistency.
2. Set some marinade aside (or make extra) to brush on while grilling.
3. Place chicken wings and marinade in a large sealable bag and try to get all the air out.
4. Refrigerate for 4-24 hours, depending on how strong you want the flavor to be.
5. Remove the chicken wings from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 25-30 minutes while heating the grill.
6. Grill over medium-high heat, flipping frequently and brushing with the marinade for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. During the last 5 minutes of grilling do not brush on any more marinade to make sure all the juices cook through.
