Laura
Marinated in a fragrant blend of garlic, lime, jalapeño, and aromatic spices, the wings develop a deliciously tangy and slightly spicy profile.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 limes juiced and zested
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 jalapeño peppers ribs and seeds removed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds chicken wing pieces

For the aji verde sauce:

  • 1 cup cilantro loosely packed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor or mini chopper, mix together the garlic, soy sauce, lime juice and zest, olive oil, jalapenos, cumin, rosemary, and salt.
  • Take half of the sauce out and pour it into a large bowl. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until all pieces of chicken are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but overnight is better.
  • To the remaining sauce in the food processor, add the cilantro and mayonnaise. Blend until mostly smooth. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and ready.
  • Remove the wings from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the wings on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning them every 5-7 minutes to ensure even cooking. Wings can also be baked or air fried at 400°F. The wings are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and have a nice char.
  • Serve the wings with the sauce.
