Ingredients:
For the Birria Wings:
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of diced onion
- 2 cups of beef or chicken broth
- 2 cups of tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup of adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
For the Consomé:
- Reserved cooking liquid from the birria wings
- Chopped fresh cilantro
- Diced onions
- Lime wedges
- Warm corn tortillas
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the wings to perfection.
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each wing is evenly coated with the flavorful spices.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and crispy.
- Prepare the Birria Sauce: While the wings are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until they become softened and fragrant. Stir in the beef or chicken broth, tomato sauce, and adobo sauce, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer the Birria Sauce: Allow the birria sauce to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Remove Wings from Oven: Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and prepare to coat them in the flavorful birria sauce.
- Dip and Coat: Dip each baked chicken wing into the birria sauce, ensuring they are fully coated with the rich and spicy flavors.
- Return to Oven: Place the coated wings back on the baking sheet or rack and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce on the wings begins to caramelize and darken slightly.
- Serve: Serve the birria wings hot with warm corn tortillas, chopped fresh cilantro, diced onions, and lime wedges on the side. These accompaniments can be used to build tacos or enjoyed alongside the wings with the flavorful consomé.
Enjoy: Don’t forget to serve the reserved cooking liquid (consomé) as a dipping sauce for extra flavor and a delightful birria experience.
