Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Season the wings with salt and pepper and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Cook until just brown and crisp, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, add all ingredients for Tequila Lime Sauce to a saucepan and cook until slightly thick, about 8 minutes (you can do this on the grill as well). Keep warm.

Heat a grill to high heat.

Grill the wings until marked, 10 to 15 minutes, turning as needed.

Drizzle the wings with the sauce and top with cilantro, if desired.

Serve immediately.
