Al Pastor Chicken Wings
- 1 pound Chicken Wings
- 3 Tablespoons Al Pastor Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Mexican Crema (optional)
- Thats it.
- Very simple ingredients that make some of the best wings I have had in some time.
- I kept the entire chicken wing intact.
- If you want to split the wing and the drummie, feel free.
- I like the wing tip as well.
- Again, your call.
- These wings are also baked.
- Baked until they are super crispy as that is how I personally love them.
- Start by adding the chicken wings to a gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
- Add in the al pastor seasoning and seal the bag.
- Toss the chicken around in the bag, ensuring all of the wings get a nice coating.
- Place these in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the chicken wings onto the parchment paper and place in the preheated oven for roughly 60 minutes.
- After 60 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven, turn the chicken wings, and cook for another 30 minutes.
- Just keep an eye on the wings before 60 minutes as you do not want them to burn.
- However, you do want that skin to caramelize and get nice and crisp.
- When the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them onto a serving dish.
- Shower the wings with the fresh cilantro, and drizzle a bit of the Mexican crema over the wings.
- Dig in.
- These wings were awesome.
- They were crispy with just the perfect sweet heat you would expect in a great al pastor.
- My son also loved them.
- I left him a big bowl of them on the counter and when he returned home from playing showed a bit of caution as they were not the good ol plain type, but after the first bite he devoured the entire bowl.
- So if you can find al pastor seasoning at your store, pick some up and try them on some wings.
- I hope you enjoy.
