Tomatillo and Chile Wings in Corn Husks
- 12 large chicken wings, at room temperature
- 3 dried Anaheim chile peppers
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- salt to taste
- 16 ounces fresh or dried corn husks
- lime wedges, to garnish
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Remove outer skin of the garlic head and cut 1/2 inch off the top.
- Drizzle garlic with olive oil, then put garlic on a baking sheet.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until golden brown in the middle.
- While the garlic is roasting, place the peppers in a bowl and cover with hot water.
- Let sit for 30 minutes to soften.
- Remove the garlic from the oven and turn on the broiler.
- Put the tomatillo on a foil lined baking sheet and broil for about 10 minutes, turning it over once.
- Squeeze the garlic cloves into the food processor and add the peppers, tomatillo and sugar.
- Puree mixture until smooth.
- If using dried corn husks, soak them in hot water for about 15 to 25 minutes until pliable, then pat dry.
- Lay husks on dry work surface and place a wing in each husk.
- Roll the husk around the wing and use a piece of string to tie both ends closed, creating a packet.
- Heat your grill to medium heat.
- Lay the packets seam side down on the grill and cook 10 to 15 minutes on each side, or until wings are cooked through.
- Don't worry if the husks are charred.
